Unfortunately, that desired pace right now was, for all intent and purposes, at a speed of stopped. For four entire hours on Sunday afternoon Dana sat by herself and waited for any sign of Alice. And yet the phone hadn’t rung but once, and it was just her mother calling to let her know that she’d be arriving in New York the morning before Dana’s first round match. Of course this subtle, little reminder of her impending trip to the other side of the country in just six days time only made the athlete agonize more about the seconds wasting away as she sat alone in an empty apartment. Nor was the front door knocked upon, or its bell rang. Not so much as a text message or voicemail to let Dana know that Alice was okay after breaking up with Jules.
Of course Dana refrained from calling her for as long as she possibly could, which when translated into actual units of measurement, turned out to be five hours and twenty-two minutes. And in no way did this signify the athlete’s level of anxiety or apprehension over what was happening across town between the love of her life and the only tangible obstacle standing in their way. To put it simply: Dana was terrified…and with every passing Alice-less hour, that fear intensified exponentially.
Still, she was steadfast in her belief that this had to be taken at a pace Alice was comfortable with, no matter how badly the athlete wanted more. She had resolved to hand over more control than she was used to relinquishing, or was comfortable with giving up, in order for Alice to trust that Dana was in it for the long-haul and not poised to just run away at the first sign of trouble. So it was all the aforementioned reasons that culminated into her decision to not call Alice and find out what had happened, even though it was slowly killing her to not know.
Those five hours and twenty-two minutes ticked by at an excruciatingly slow pace, only exacerbated by the fact that in between pacing throughout the apartment, Dana had been sure to check the clock every ten minutes. Finally, when she could no longer keep her hands off the phone, she allowed her fingers to nimbly hit the seven digits that would bring her back to Alice.

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!!!
