She took a deep breath and sank onto the sofa, too tired to even attempt a trip to the bedroom. Besides, the only thing waiting for her in there was an empty, neatly made Queen-sized bed. She inferred that if she had to sleep alone tonight, it’d be much easier to do so on an uncomfortable pull-out couch that didn’t feel quite so empty.
**********************************************************************
She shot upright from her place on the couch upon hearing the shrill sound of someone pounding on something nearby. Yawning lazily and checking the flashing numbers on the DVD clock that told her it was 4:42am, she rubbed her eyes slowly and looked around. Although technically awake, Dana was actually in what could best be described as a semi-conscious state of disorientation, having no clue where that damned drumming sound was originating from. After shakily pulling herself up off the couch and getting to her feet, she took a few steps and looked around once more, determined to figure out what was going on and why it was all happening at quarter to five in the morning.
Bleary-eyed and bemused, she made her way out into the hallway to follow the elusive sound, which now seemed to be getting louder despite the rapid downfall of rain doing its best to drown it out completely. She finally cursed herself upon realizing that it wasn’t elusive after all, but was being produced by someone outside, knocking on her front door. While Dana Fairbanks, professional-tennis-player-apt-to-start-her-day-training-at-five-in-the-morning, typically had no problem waking up, at this particular moment she was finding it difficult to remember why she had fallen asleep on the couch, and even more peculiar, why there was someone at her door at this time of night.
All of the mystery that ensconced her at that moment, however, seemed to fade away the minute she opened the door. She suddenly remembered what had happened earlier that evening. The intimate encounter in Helena’s bathroom, the hours spent sitting outside Alice’s apartment and then searching for her all over town, and how Dana was so distraught over the entire messy night that she couldn’t bear to sleep in a big empty bed by herself, opting instead for the lumpy sofa. And now, standing before her, soaking wet and trembling from the cold rain, was the one person she’d been waiting for, for what seemed like her entire life. Alice.

I love this story. Its absolutely fantastic.
Okay I haven’t read it yet (I know, shame on me or something) but I totally forgot to download AIM again. I relaized I needed to after I sent you that message since I haven’t used it since I got this PC, and then I forgot about it! Mea culpa. But I’ll download it now, promise! And I’m thinking mid-springtime-ish for a visit (aka my spring break)? Does that work for you?
Okay! So I’ve read it, and you’ve made me really happy with the reunification of Danish. Yay! I hope you don’t end it here though, they have so much stuff to work through still, and I want to know what becomes of Jules. You could set her up with..hmm…Helena maybe? I dunno, but she’s too awesome to just do away with. Anyway my friend, I have now downloaded AIM, so if you’re averse to MSN I’m on AIM now too. And thanks for the shout out about Lest, it’s a happy part so it was fun to write. Hope you like it, and I’m glad it makes you write because I still totally love this story. That might be the longest run on sentence ever, but hey, what can I do? Aside from correct it and insert a period or something, but I’m far too lazy for that. Anyway, awesome job…and now you can write the make up sex! That’s always fun, lol.
I don’t know why I thought I had a huge run on sentence in there. I should really pay more attention and quit rambling. I’m done now, I swear! Lol.
AWWWW!! I just love those two. They are so sweet together. So what happens next? Do we get a hot makeup scene or what? And what will become of Jules? Hope you post soon
This was the moment I’ve been waiting for for 22 (!!!!) chapters. Everytime you write a scene with the two of them I just hold my breath. You write their chemistry so well.
Welcome back – as our two girls said to each other ‘ I’ve missed you’.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you swismiss24 for this amazing chapter. First of all congratulations to your law degree. Finally, Danish were reunited. I don’t think I will forget their bathroom scene anytime soon. It was definitely one of the very best ones. The last one came to mind was in September, “Masked Feelings” Ch76 by brteyes. The bathroom scene on the plane was hilarious. Many writers have tried but it has to be more than just sex. Anyway, back to this chapter, A’s love confession was awesome. Now, A had to go break Jules’ heart. As much as I prefer Danish forever, somehow I feel bad for Jules. She was good to A. One side note, Why bother fishing Jenny out? Why didn’t you just leave her in the Pacific? Someone should. pps.
Yay! Doin’ the happy Danish dance! Good update (and not just because of the outcome). Poor Jules but the signs were there all along. As always, I’m looking forward to the next turn in that long road ahead of them.
that was absolutely perfect. you have no idea how excited i was to come home at 2:30 in the morning and see that you posted. the story gets better and better. and yes it probably could end here – but i home you continue just a little more to tell us what happens with jules and danish. the 33rd reading (cause i had to read it again before reading this one) was just as good as the first time. and i will pm or email you (cause i think i have your email) with the ny story. and congrats on passing the bar. my friend just failed. but yeah… thanks again for the update. i will begin my daily reading of this chapter tomorrow. i NEED to go to bed. cheers.
wassup great job i enjoyed that ofcourse i don’t think i’ve never not enjoyed ur chapters newho wow finally i hope u dont make it too easy for dana though she still has alot of ass kissing to do poor jules to i hope she will be okay i feel so sorry for her now but it’s danish so i’ll get over it lol i also hope the drama doesn’t go you do it so well the tension and angst etc etc loved it!! pps swiss i can’t get enough of this… p.s 7!! pages wow thats alot i now forgive you for taking so long :)
What a great chapter. I only recently found this story and got all caught up and I love it!
yay! they’re back! that’s very sweet:D this chapter is definitely not a let down, not even close. I love it hehehe post as soon as you can okay? thanks for updating! ;D
Thanks so much for the update! Dang. Poor Jules. Feel free to send her my way. ;-D Seriously, though, I hope they wait on the make-up sex until things are resolved on that front. I’d hate for Danish to feel like cheaters. I’m sure Dana won’t mind waiting. I really love this story. Thanks for continuing with it. PPS! Oh! And big congrats on passing the bar — what a huge accomplishment!
