Alice paused before carefully choosing her next words. "While that does sound wonderful, I really think I should go home and deal with some stuff there, you know?"
"Oh." Dana nodded her understanding. "Do you…," she trailed off, biting her lip nervously. "I don’t know, want me to go with you maybe?"
"No!" the writer quickly replied. "No, thank you. But this is something I definitely need to do alone."
"Alright. But if you need anything at all, Alice, I want you to call me, okay? I don’t care where I am or what I’m doing, I’ll come right over. Promise you’ll call if you run into any problems?"
"Dana, she’s not going to beat me up or anything! Contrary to what you think, she’s actually an amazing person who really doesn’t deserve any of this." Her tone was even but something in her eyes made Dana believe there was a tinge of resentment behind her words.
"Right," the athlete muttered as she let her eyes roll. "Didn’t mean to offend The Amazing St. Jules."
"Dana, what the fuck?"
"Nothing Alice, just forget it." She moved herself away from the couch and towards the gym bag by the front door. "You go do what you have to do, I’ll talk to you later."
Alice watched in astonishment as Dana put her hand on the door knob and started to turn it towards her.
"Hey, hang on a second," she called after her. "Is this what you meant before about wanting to communicate instead of just running away?"
This, of course, stopped Dana cold in her tracks. A wave of guilt washed over her entire body as she slumped her shoulders in concession of defeat. Surely this wasn’t how she wanted to start things off with Alice. Not now, after all that wretched heartache had finally paid off so that she was granted another chance to make things right again. And after she promised the woman that she wouldn’t run away from her every time she felt the slightest bit discomfited, Dana couldn’t help but feel like she had already disappointed her.
Turning around to face Alice, she managed to shift her eyes anywhere but on the writer’s. "I’m sorry. I guess I’m going to need some practice on that whole sticking around and talking things through bit."

YAY!!! I love it! Post Soon!
Yay! I’m sitting in a hotel room in London, online for the first time in almost a week, and I see this on the first page. So happy you posted, and what a great chapter. I’m glad my girls are talking and holdong off on just jumping each others’ bones, although I have to be a perv and admit that I think they should jump each others’ bones all the time. And I know she’s already been claimed, but can I have Jules? Give a girl a break, I got through all of L3 without even a kiss. But it was such an awesome time, and all f them were gorgeous. Leisha and Erin kept watching each other talk on stage, and it was enough to make your heart melt. Well, maybe just mine since I’m a sap. This comment is hella long, sorry!
you blow me away. that was so good. i am glad alice went easy on dana when she tried to walk out, that would have sucked if they already got in a fight. i knew jules was going to know (but how could she not?) and yeah she should have let alice have it – but i’m glad she didn’t. we need to meet up in ny sometime soon? i will email you.
What a great update. This is such a fantastic story it’s been such a journey that you have taken this pair on to get to this point I can’t wait to see what you write for them together. Thanks for updating.
I have loved this story from the very beginning. This chapter is another example of your finest writing, beautifully executed. My heart melted while reading A & D’s tender moments. They absolutely belonged together and thanks for reuniting them at last. Simultaneously, I also felt sorry for Jules. Her speech was accurate, wise, thoughtful and most important of all, flawless. It is really pointless to be someone’s #2. Lastly, I want to convey to you my utmost admiration of your ability to deliver a perfectly crafted story. Bravo!
Hey, I’m totally new here and this was one of the first stories i started reading, I’ve been a bit of a silent reader but I finally decided to come and join the gang. I’m so happy you’ve found time to come and write again, this was a flawless and heartfelt chapter and I can’t fault you. Amazing =)
you rock!! so much too, more more please!! i crave this story so much it’s a little weird actually. Your one of two writers that i get really excited for wen i see u’ve posted i just can’t get enough and now that they’re finally back together its just gunna get so much better, poor jules though oh so sorry for her but it had to happen for danish sake. I can’t wait till next time on if i fall…. neways until next time i guess :) snaps for the swissmister!!!
Excellent chapter as always, swismiss24!! You write both girls so well — so honestly. And it’s great that they are actually communicating. I also love the maturity of the both of them. They both wanted to stay and get re-connected but both realized they had other things they needed to do. Gives me hope that things will work out this time around for them. “Capitan” Hee! Jules? Come on over here and MaGoose will take care of you. ;-D Thanks so much, swismiss24. This really was an amazing update to the story!
I feel sorry for Jules. She’s a great woman, if she were real and here, well somebody would be awfully lucky to have her! hehe This is one awesome chapter swismiss. But even if Jules is great and all, it wouldn’t be fair o neither of them if they continued sailing their ship. Thanks for updating! dear awesomeness:)
Nicely done yet again! I really like the fact Danish slowed down and talked to each other. It’s encouraging to see their relationship maturing. As much as I liked the impulsiveness of “Finally” in S2, I equally enjoyed those few glimpses we had into their still-intimate but less frenzied conversations. Thanks for rounding out their interation for us here. Congratulations on your Bar results! As always, I’m looking forward to the next installment. Thanks for continuing.
I hope you plan to update this AMAZING story soon!
