For a few seconds neither said a word. Instead they stood there on either side of the open doorway, eyes locked on each other and both unsure of what to say. And yet Dana couldn’t help but notice how fragile Alice appeared, standing there with a glint of trepidation in her eyes, accompanied by a strangely incomprehensible look of defeat.
Dana swallowed hard, summoning up as much clarity as she could. "Hi."
"Hi," the writer whispered back, still staring up at Dana with fearful eyes.
"Do you—I mean—," Dana began, but she was cut off immediately.
"We need to talk." The words were shot so quickly out of the writer’s mouth that Dana couldn’t help but look taken aback.
"I know. I’ve been looking for you all over the place! I went to your apartment, and then to Shane’s, and to The Planet, and back to Helena’s, and—"
"Dana," Alice said calmly, cutting her off once more.
"Right. Sorry," the athlete mumbled. And then noticing how Alice was still shivering, she asked, "It’s pouring. Do you—want to come in?" She couldn’t suppress the tinge of hopefulness in her voice.
They locked eyes once more, each understanding the gravity of the conversation about to be had. "Uh, it’s probably best I say what I have to from out here."
Dana’s shoulders slumped a bit, and she couldn’t help but feel like she was just hit directly in the stomach by a rather large, rather powerful fist. She let out a small sigh in resignation and shook her head slowly as the tears began to well up in her eyes. This was it. Alice was here to tell her under no uncertain terms that what happened earlier tonight can never, ever happen again. She had chosen Jules. Or more precisely, she had not chosen Dana.
"Dana, I can’t…," she trailed off as the rain picked up, suddenly focused on her feet, unable to look into the athlete’s somber eyes. "I can’t do this anymore."
And there it was. Dana wasn’t sure how she summoned up the resolve to carry on, but somehow the words came pouring out of her mouth without any regard to reason. "Right. I get it. You don’t want to give me a second chance, you can never trust me again, and I’ve lost you forever. I understand Alice, and I’ll spare you from having to explain it to me again for the hundredth time. Good night."

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!
