And now after everything they meant to each other, they were trying out their friendship again. Lara was admittedly terrified about how this would all play out, knowing full well that if the two woman both stopped denying their feelings long enough to communicate openly about what happened between them, it may very well lead them back to each other indefinitely. And this meant the end of her relationship with Dana. She wasn’t one who had any desire to stand in the way of true love, but then again, she wasn’t exactly standing in the way. From what she saw, Alice and Dana were both grown women and if they really wanted to be together, casting aside both herself and Jules in the process, they would have said so.
After all, maybe she was just letting her insecurities get the best of her. Dana had vehemently denied on numerous occasions that she still wanted to be with Alice. And as far as Alice was concerned, she seemed to be moving on with some new rock star girlfriend. Plus, Lara could admit that Dana said she only missed her best friend, not that she was still in love with her. And just because they were friends again didn’t mean anything would happen romantically. They did it the first time for nearly seven years before becoming lovers, and who’s to say that that just wasn’t some failed experiment in best friends making the best lovers.
Although, the more she thought about it, the more Lara realized that things change. Now that Dana and Alice were on speaking terms, and even discussed the possibility of hanging out alone again, not once did Dana bring up the months of stalking and spying that Alice put her through. Not once did Dana mention the jealousy and insecurity and constant pressure she felt towards the end of their relationship. Instead, all Dana would mention now was how glad she was that Alice had forgiven her. Forgiven her? To Lara’s surprise, her girlfriend seemed to forget just how she got to the point of feeling like she had no other choice than to break up with Alice. She also seemed to forget all the uncomfortable encounters and watching their backs she and Lara had to do after Dana had ended it with the writer. And to top it all off, the chef wasn’t so blind to have noticed that Dana had become more distant as of late. And the timing of that distance coincided perfectly with Alice’s surprise party—the night they supposedly reconciled their friendship.

Pfft I beat that Bradshaw hands down, I’m sure she copied me actually :P Anyway on to the reason for this comment, my god this gets better and better and I sincerely mean that! I like to read Lara’s point of view even though I’m nto a fan of her character but thats probably because the show didn’t explore her enough. Dana needs to sit down, breathe and seriously re-evaluate what she wants in life and more importantly, who. Alice should be honest with Jules if she’s not ready for commitment, it sounds like she’s stringing her along from fear and that’s pretty bad even though it’s coming from a good place. Shit I could ramble on and on but I will save you the pain and just say well done! PPS :)
Okay, I cried for like half this chapter, it’s that damn good. It’s like Shane said in Loud and Proud, when she told Alice that she could see Dana loves her…then asks her if she can’t see that. I think it’s always been obvious that Dana loves Alice beyond life, she just doesn’t know how to say it, and poor Alice somehow can’t see it for what it is and needs the words. Okay, so that’s my essay on Danish for the day. And yes, I heart Curb Your Enthusiasm. I was pretty sure that’s where you’d taken the sunglasses thing from, but I didn’t want to say anything in case I was wrong. I sense that you’ll be getting these two stubborn biatches together before too long, and I couldn’t be happier about it…just please have them communicate, k? Okay, I’m really done now, I swear. Love this more every time you update.
Even the fucking shrink knows that Dana loves Alice……greats chapter PPS
Great story and great update. You do a wonderful job of representing Alice and Dana, strengths and flaws alike.
Usually I completely relate to Dana as you write her, and explain her twisted motivations. :-) At the end of this update I completely related to Alice. Maybe that’s why I love this couple so much. I guess I should thank you for inadvertantly giving me the therapy I so obviously need. lol I’m glad the doctor was able to see how Dana feels about Alice. Alice can’t be objective about her interactions with Dana, nor can she trust her feelings for the athlete. As Alice was describing what eventually happens when she and Dana spend time together, it was pretty clear that Dana reacts that way because of her own feelings for Alice. Alice’s heart may suspsect that is the reason for Dana’s change, but her mind can’t allow her to set herself up for the heartache that will come. I’m so glad you had time to update. You are writing a wonderful story.
Loved this chapter, liked Lara’s point of view, and Harriet giving Alice some direction to whats going on with Dana. Thanks for an awsome post!!
that was great. I can’t wait to see what Alice does with this new info that Harriet gave her
