"Dane, she trusts me for a reason…because I don’t go blabbing about what she tells me."
"Look, I’m not asking you to blab, okay? I’m just asking for your objective opinion on it."
Shane had to note the irony in Dana’s wording—objective opinion—as if she could really give one of those when it came to her two closest friends. A part of her wished that they would both realize how fucking stubborn they were being and admit that they were still in love so they could start to find their way back to each other. She was never one to believe in the idea of soul mates, but she was sure that after watching Alice and Dana together, soul mates may actually exist. And leave it to Dana Fairbanks to completely miss what was right in front of her face. Though, as much as Shane loved the idea of seeing her friends happy with each other once again, she could admit that a bigger part of her just wanted them to be happy period. And truth be told, she feared that if Dana tried to reconcile with Alice now, it would just be setting the writer up for an even greater heartache all over again. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Dana’s intentions, but she knew the athlete and she knew how self-doubting and unsure of her feelings she could be. Dana wasn’t the most open and honest about how she felt. Hell, the way she stayed in the closet for so long, all the while suppressing her true feelings for Alice, was a clear indication of that. And it wasn’t like Shane thought that Dana would intentionally hurt Alice again, she did believe that the athlete truly loved her as it was obvious to almost anyone. But Dana’s best intentions weren’t exactly comforting when it came to Alice’s mental well-being, and Shane knew that too.
That was exactly why she was skeptical of Dana’s loaded question. She really didn’t want to get anymore in the middle of this thing than she already was, but Dana’s pleading tone and somber blue eyes were making it all the more difficult to deny her an answer. Besides, the stylist suspected that Dana had ulterior motives for asking, which made her all the more curious to find out more. Resignedly, she sighed and decided that if she was going to talk about Alice with her, she needed to know just why Dana was really asking.

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
