Then of course there were a few calls from Shane, "just checking in", without mentioning one word about Dana. Alice surmised that this was a very Shane thing to do, considering that by now she must have at least a general idea as to why the writer was hiding out from the world. There was a phone call from Bette too, on behalf of Tina and herself, asking her why she’s been MIA from The Planet and reminding her about the final appointment with Angelica’s adoption caseworker. The appointment, of course, wasn’t for another two weeks, but Alice was sure that Bette would be leaving friendly little reminders for her everyday until then.
And then there were the three calls from Helena: the first one seemingly casual, the second hinted a trace of worry in her voice, and the third threatening to come over there and bang the door down if Alice didn’t reply to one of their friends’ messages soon. This was the straw that prompted her to send that email to everyone, assuring them all that she was perfectly fine and would speak to them soon. After that, the calls seemed to taper off a bit. Helena called her once again, probably immediately after reading the email, and in her most ominous voice, scolded, "Alice, what’s the meaning of this email business? I’m honestly starting to worry, darling. If you don’t return at least one of my calls soon, I promise to drag you to as many Yoga classes as I can find in the greater Los Angeles area!"
But, for the most part, her friends seemed to accept her distance and let her come to them in her own time. And Alice was relieved for their understanding…even if she did find herself imagining, on more than one occasion, a tentative knock at the door and Dana waiting on the other side of it.
She entered the apartment and nonchalantly took notice of the answering machine light blinking. Opting to ignore it for at least a little while longer, she sank into the sofa with a huff and lifted the silver laptop off of the coffee table. There were a few new emails, none of any real importance, and once again she noticed, none from Jules. Even Alice could appreciate the irony in that. The one person who hadn’t made any attempt to contact her over the course of her brief hiatus from society was the one person whose contact she actually would have embraced. She knew it sounded horrible, and possibly the most complex thing her brain ever conjured up, but it was almost as if Jules was the only person who she felt wouldn’t judge her right now. She never really had either, in spite of the fact that they met when Alice’s emotional state was just above the ground floor of her downward spiral. And instead of scaring her away as she assumed it would, Jules actually stuck around…even upon realizing that there sat a vast black hole where Alice’s heart should have been. And not only did she stay, but she actually cared enough about the writer, and saw through the shrouded mess that had become her life, to help Alice get her life back on track. And with her help and support, she did just that.

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!!!
