Chapter 24
Three days. Three whole days. Recognized also as 72 excruciating hours; 4,320 arduous minutes; or even 259,200 troublesome seconds, if one wanted to be precise. In fact, one might imagine that a lot of life could be lived in such an extensive span of time. For it was comprised of a magnitude of moments by which to live life to the fullest, or at least be at one’s most productive.
Yet for Dana Fairbanks, the past three days had proven to be quite the opposite.
It was now a sunny, bright Wednesday afternoon in West Hollywood, a scene developing into one vastly different than that early, rain-filled Sunday morning that now seemed like eons ago. A morning, seemingly dreary at first glance, which was filled with such hope and immense promise that Dana could hardly believe that only three days later she was at this juncture: tossing and turning restlessly in her own bed…alone.
It had technically been a bit more than 72 hours since Dana last had any contact with Alice, but as each hour slowly crept by, the athlete found it all the more difficult to continue counting.
And this time, Dana found herself teetering on the edge of despair, as she previously had zero experience with the situation she was currently in: a complete shutdown of all communication with Alice, despite Dana’s numerous attempts to end the hiatus that the writer abruptly, and without warning, had imposed.
After her workout Sunday morning, a workout that should have been much more intense than her inattentive attitude allowed (especially considering the typically unyielding work ethic she displayed prior to a Grand Slam event), she returned home to find the house visibly empty. Now the rational part of Dana had expected this, seeing as Alice said se was going back to her own apartment to speak with Jules. But that didn’t necessarily stop the athlete from hoping against all hope that Alice had decided to stay there and await her arrival…maybe doing so while lying in Dana’s bed…maybe even naked.
The brunette shook her head dreamily to push the explicit thoughts from her peripheral. Right now she knew that she should be focusing on what Alice needed, particularly in light of the difficult situation she was currently engaged in. Any fantasies of a reconciliation she may have would surely be satisfied later…she hoped. Either way, it was best to be patient right now, and to ensure that she followed the writer’s lead when it came to pacing the steps they took back to one another. While they had rushed into a very physical, albeit very enjoyable, relationship the last time around, Dana didn’t want to overwhelm or frighten Alice by placing any undue expectations on her this time around. She vowed now be more mindful of the writer’s needs and to communicate enough so that there were no silly misunderstandings or assumptions made on either part. Alice’s happiness and the subsequent success of their relationship were finally at the top of her priority list. And for the moment, that priority could only be accomplished by going on at whatever pace Alice desired.

Gah, what an expression. Yes, indeed, I love her voice. Alice needs to get some courage and talk to Dana. Afterall, one she loves is DANA!! :) hee heeeeThank you so much for posting.!!

Anyway rant over reli reli love ur story cant wait for ur next update lol!! :) PPS x x
please update again
You really love this whole cliffhanger business, don’t you? I might be a little upset if you didn’t do it so well. I’m really glad you updated, and this isn’t even close to being filler. It’s necessary for the story, if Danish didn’t wallow in some sorta thought bubble for awhile after everything that’s happened, it wouldn’t make any sense. I just hope Jules doesn’t take advantage of Alice’s emotional state. Not that I think she’d do that deliberately or anything, but…yeah. Okay I’ve been rambling for like ever here, but what I want you to take away from this dissertation is that you rule muchly.
8 Pages is not filler, It was pretty damn good…Please get Dana and Alice in the same room…Love how you write your A&D!
OK. So your filler makes my filler look even more like filler. ;-D Seriously — this was a great chapter. I understand that Alice is going through a lot, but, she really should have called Dana. Leaving her hanging wasn’t very nice. I’m glad Dana is committing herself to the relationship in a way she didn’t the first time around. Thank goodness Shane, Tina and Boo were there to help Dana. I love how your articulated both Alice and Dana’s thoughts on the situation. It is interesting how they both are thinking the same way — what Alice needs is what Dana is prepared to give her. But they need to talk to realize that. Argh. Bad Alice! I understand her reasoning, but, what if Dana sees Jules over there? Does Alice know Dana is leaving soon for NY? Can I beg you to PPS?
oh i missed you swiss.. so happy about the update oh yeh..i love reading what u write i could just read it all day lol wat an interesting ending i hope i dnt have to wait another month for an update BUT if that is wat it takes then i will thank you!!!!!!
Whoosh! Ok it’s taken me ohhh-4 months and some odd days to comment but here i am! PLEASE update, i just cannot stand playing out all of the possible scenarios in my head. You have really done an excellent job with this whole adventure. I just have this dying urge to know what happens-how does it go with Jules-with our beloved Danish….what happens? Only you know and i am begging for an update or even a small glimpse of Alice and Dana happy and together. But another couple of months wont bother me if that’s how long it takes for you to post somemore of this beautifully written story. Thanks so much swiss!
This is the first Danish fic I have read and still one of the best. I’ll die if you don’t finish it, lol. I need HAPPY DANISH!!! Please update!!!
