It was a simple question. And yet, Alice, for the life of her, couldn’t manage to find the words needed to answer it. Dana wasn’t stupid. Of course she realized what Alice was saying and what Alice was doing were two markedly different things. And yet, even that truth was too hard for her to admit. "I mean, I’m sure she’s confused and feels like I’m sending her mixed messages. But, I don’t know, once I catch a glimpse of her, or see her car in a parking lot…all reason flies right out the window."
"So, are these the same sort of things you did back when you broke up?"
"Oh, God no! I mean, I know this isn’t exactly normal either, but I’m not lurking in the shadows or anything like that. She knows I’m there. And it’s not like I ever try to talk to her or disrupt her day or anything like that. I just like seeing her, making sure she’s doing okay. It sounds really fucked up, I know that. But I hate that she’s not part of my life anymore, and I’m just not ready to let go completely yet. Maybe after a little more time has passed, it’ll get easier to live without her entirely," the writer suggested. Though the meekness in her voice suggested that even she didn’t believe that.
"You do realize that you have control over this situation, right? All you have to do is welcome Dana back into your life and it sounds like she’d be glad to be a part of it."
"Right, and then we get to do our little dance all over again. See that’s the problem right there…I don’t think we can ever be just friends again. There’s this part of me, a giant part, that wants her so fucking much it keeps me up at night. But then there’s the rational part of me that’s like, ‘No! No fucking way can I endure being left by her again.’ So there it is; I want her, but I want to be safe. And if I put my heart in her hands again, I suffer the risk, a very probable risk mind you, of the danger of ending up heartbroken again. And having her in my life, in any capacity at all, just makes that internal struggle all the more difficult. I just can’t live in that sort of limbo with her. I won’t let myself go down that road again, and I sure as hell won’t drag Jules along with me."

Nice Cliffhanger, don’t wait too long to update! Bathrooms are Danish’s special place…Get it on Get it on
Okay you’ve gotta be kidding me with this “should I continue” crap. Seriously, if you don;t have them work it out and consummate the hell out of each other I’m gonna hunt you down. Not really but it sounded good in my head. You quit I quit, so there. Really though, I love this and I love the whole tension thing. You’re awesome so you better damn well continue!
Swissmiss24, of course I remember your story. As a matter of fact, I have been waiting for this update. A month ago, I mentioned you on ourchart.com/forums/fanfiction/”Danish Writers, Where Art Thou.” The story line is attractive with D pursuing A. You wrote a very determined D. For example, in this chapter, you wrote “And when Alice did get tired, Dana would be there, ready to try again.” And yes, the cat and mouse game, that is why Danish is intriguing. Back to this chapter having Harrison as D’s sounding board was fun. It reminded me of the 3 musketeers’ visiting B & T to solve the “soup chef” problem. I could picture D’s same expression in this conversation with Harrison. Oh, and about Alice exercising, only if the sun would rise from the west. A’s heart to heart talk with Harriet was great. At least it was a start for A to admit herself out loud her feelings for D. But stalking again, I am not sure I can handle a second round. I love a hot & dorky Dana. Cinderella & Prince Charming? Nice touch. OMG, what a fantastic cliffhanger ending. I don’t know how you can even consider not continuing this story. About a month ago, I started commenting on Danish stories. With this post, you gave me a chance to tell you how much joy I got reading your previous posts. MT put it the best and please listen to her. MT also writes so beautifully and we as readers could not afford to lose two major Danish writers who happen to be “La crème de la crème”. So, pps, I waited more than 2 months for this post and if I have to wait again, it will be fine with me. I do understand quality writing takes time. I would love to read how they work things out. Thank you very much.
Oh my god!! You can NOT leave it there!! Please continue with this story.
Just popped out to join in the begging comments. Pleeeease… don’t keep us in suspense any longer… And pleeeease, don’t even think of quitting it; it’s too good!! Dana being the drooling one… owww that’s priceless! I wish they had shown us some of this in the show. Fast forward to Julesless si vous plait; she doesn’t hold a candle to Dana…!! Plus, I can see a dark side on her. I don’t buy that social worker stuff… I think she has something up her sleeve… PleeeeasePS, I love it!

Great update, swismiss! 21a implies a 21b coming along soon, right? Please?
I’m not much of a poster, Im usually dedicated to Muted’s danish only on here but about 2 months ago I decided to check around when I really needed a danish fix. I remember reading the last chapter posted and being like “oh shit this was like over a month ago, theres no way shes gonna post again!” yet today I decided to check anywaise and saw that you did, you have no idea how excited I was for some fresh danish and a solution to the last chapter. But I gotta say, your cruel for leaving this on such a cliff hanger. Pleeeeease post again and continue to do so. I depend on fanfic to keep my danish addiction satisfied, and your one of the best by far. I love this story! But especially I love Dana just because shes the hottest, funniest and most adorable character on the show. I love me some good danish in the mornings, so please post the rest in the next week. Im jonesing.
please don’t keep us hanging in here for long. hihihi I’ve been reading your story and I like it very much, just thought I’d leave a comment to let you know, thanks:)
