She still found the idea of looking Alice in the eyes, where she’d surely see nothing but pain and disappointment reflecting back at her, utterly unbearable. So determined was Dana to avoid making direct eye contact that she didn’t even notice Alice had followed her out to the foyer until the woman was standing right before her.
"Dana, I love you, okay? And I know you’re scared that I’m going to change my mind after I walk out this door. But I wouldn’t have come over here in the first place if I wasn’t absolutely sure that this is where I want to be. And you know what? My leaving right now isn’t at all to do with our relationship. It’s about going over there to break this woman’s heart. A woman who’s done nothing but support me through all the bullshit and difficulty I had with getting over you. This isn’t about what’s happening between us right now, it’s about hurting someone I care very deeply for. And it sucks, and I’m terrified of hurting her. But not scared enough to just stop feeling what I feel for you, or start denying that I ever felt that way. I came over here for a reason, Dana. And we both know that this thing between us is so much bigger than any guilt or trepidation I feel about breaking it off with Jules. Hell, it’s bigger than the both of us and probably anything I’ve ever felt before." She noticed a small trace of a smile on the athlete’s lips and surmised that the situation was diffused enough for her to brush an errant strand of hair out of Dana’s eyes. "So you need to go to practice right now, and I need to go do what I need to do, and I’ll call you later, okay?"
"Alright," she sighed. "I’m so sorry, Alice. I know this is hard for you and it’s all my fault for putting you in this situation in the first place. And I should be more understanding of that. It’s just so hard to believe that this is really happening right now, you know? I’ve spent so much time trying to get back to this place with you, that I’m just terrified of losing it again."

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!
