True, Dana had run away from it before. She ran from Alice and all of her profoundly reasonable expectations exhibited when they were committed to one another. At the time Dana felt trapped, like the air was being sucked from her lungs bit by bit. So she ran. She ran so hard and so fast until she couldn’t quite remember what she was running from anymore. Yes, she knew she was running from her feelings, and from Alice’s feelings as well. But before too long, Dana was left trying to determine what exactly was so scary about the relationship in the first place. And more precisely, what exactly it was that running had accomplished. She eventually came to terms with the realization that running would do nothing to lessen or quell what she felt. Denying it, just as she did with other feelings that made her scared or uncomfortable, was useless too.
Running, in fact, did nothing but leave her feeling more helpless and conflicted in the long-run. She still felt the love she had for Alice—the love that had caused her to flee in the first place. Except now, it had become an insatiable hunger that she was positively unable to feed. Instead of being afraid of how deeply she loved Alice, and how dependent she had become on that love, she was now even more terrified at the prospect of living without it.
So after countless nights of losing sleep, and innumerable days of being distracted by thoughts on what to do about it, Dana reckoned that if she was going to actually die from all this mental torture, she wouldn’t go down without a fight. And so she decided, albeit reluctantly, that she would have to start admitting, (at least to herself), that she was still in love with Alice and desperately wanted her back.
But right now, her only job was to run her ass off, for as long and as fast as her body would allow. And yet these relentless, unyielding, all-consuming thoughts of Alice were completely betraying her immediate goal, making her barely able to concentrate on even the exceptionally mundane task of running. So she pushed and pushed, running faster than she probably ever had before, hoping that such an accelerated rate of speed would turn her thoughts blurry, just as it had finally turned her vision.
