She finally managed to get Jay to admit that he had more than enough material to work with for the ad spots so that she could leave for the day, although her brain seemed now to be more muddled than before. It was times like these, she mused, that a bottle of tequila and a few sleeping pills would do wonders to dull the aching of her heart, as well as drowning out the cacophony in her head. And for a second there the thought seemed to warm her chilled bones like the sun on a June day. But she could admit, albeit reluctantly, that giving into such a proclivity would only cause her to wake up with a start, struggling through a foggy haze to get her bearings, and be absolutely remiss in remembering what had happened while the pills and booze had taken their toll. Although usually, someone would fill in the blanks for her later on…except that the blanks were often better left blank as far as Alice was concerned. No, she had learned the hard way that a quick-fix often did more damage than good, and she had worked too hard and for too long to throw all that progress away in the name of some stupid fear and trepidation. She may not have Jules to pull her out of the darkness anymore, but this time Alice was sure that her own two feet was all she needed.
And still, she had her Dana. The thought of it made her unable to prevent a smile from spreading across her face, despite the giant lump in the back of her throat reminding her that having everything she ever wanted brought with it the risk of once again losing it all. And thus, she recoiled, despite realizing that she was living on borrowed time, so to speak. There wasn’t much longer she could get away in hibernation mode, especially when she kept receiving reminders that her recent absence hadn’t gone without notice. She had stopped checking her missed call log over a day ago as she found herself hard-pressed to fight off the feelings of panic, as well as longing, every time she saw Dana’s name appear.
There had also been a call from Harriet, advising that she had missed their appointment on Monday before rattling off available times to reschedule. Alice would have been happy to admit that it just completely slipped her mind, although, that would have also been a complete lie. The thought of dealing with her feelings in any way, even via therapy, made Alice cringe with a sense of delusion.

First of all, welcome back!!! Second of all…. I thought she called Dana!!! Anyway, I love Jules too. OMG I hate to admit but I love this wavering thing. Yes, all the while it pains me to see Alice and Dana suffer, I actually enjoy it. I must be M out of S.M….. Anyway… I am so freaking glad you’re back! I was longing for you and Alice’s “sex” voice. 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!!!
