“Wow, I’m impressed.”
“You have your own radio show and column in a weekly magazine, and you’re impressed with my line of work?”
“How many underprivileged kids you think I helped last week with my column on the top 10 alternatives to liposuction?”
“Well, maybe not underprivileged kids, but think of all the rich women in their 50s who read your column and said to themselves, ‘you know what, maybe the 3rd tummy tuck is where I should draw the line, Alice Pieszecki says I should join a gym instead.”
They both laughed and Alice smiled at Jules as they shared a knowing look. This whole date thing seemed to be working out better than either had initially expected.
Back at Shane & Jenny’s
“Hello, Dana.”
Dana was shaken from her own self-pitying thoughts and whirled around to find Helena Peabody standing stiffly before her.
“Hi, Helena,” Dana muttered as she turned back around to stare out into the night.
“I told Shane I was coming out here to make sure you were okay.”
Dana couldn’t help but furrow her brow in confusion. Why would Helena Peabody take the time to come outside and check on her? Not one conversation they had ever lasted more than 30 seconds.
“Uh, thanks. You can tell her I’m fine.”
“Well you see, that’s not really why I came out here.”
Now Dana was thoroughly confused and she turned to face the other woman. “I’m sorry Helena, I don’t get it.”
Helena stepped closer and Dana wasn’t sure why, but she began to feel rather small. She could see that Helena’s intimidating reputation preceded her. “I do in fact hope you’re okay, but you see, my reasons for joining you out here are much more selfish.”
“Oh?”
“I’m here because of Alice.”
“Alice?”
“She’s my friend Dana. Perhaps the best friend I have right now. And I couldn’t help but notice your reaction in there when you heard she was on a date.”
“I’m not sure how this is any of your business Helena.”
“Alice is my business Dana. And I want to see her happy. I don’t think I need to remind you how difficult a time Alice had after you broke up with her.”

LOL I’m glad you liked my Carrie rant and the only thing missing was the cosmo since I was smoking lol. However after the last cosmo incident I had I vowed not to drink them again for a very long time. Anyway back to what’s important, your story, your amazingly fantastic story. Jules, I half love her half hate her, she’s so damn cute and funny and perfcet and that’s great if I wasn’t such a danish lover. My heart is being torn betwene Alice’s sanity and a danish relationship, your making it sound like they belong apart because it’s easier on them both which makes me very sad :( I think Dana’s reaction was totally realistic to her character and if I was Lara I’d be major pissed off. Ok that’s enough ranting for now, awesome post, you’re putting me to shame big time. PPS xx
i feel bad for dana – she sounds so confused. but then at the same time i am happy for alice that jules sounds so awesome. thanks for posting so fast and ggreat job.
It seems like everyone on this site is trying to out me lately, in some form or another. First De_leish_ous outs me as a Danish perv, now you’ve outed me as a Jules fan…before long there won’t be any closets left to hide in. I really liked this one, you got a lot accomplished in only a few pages. I just have to ask…and feel free not to answer if you don’t want to, but…are you a Helacious fan, by chance? Just wondering. And as to Alice having a type, Jules does have dark hair, right? ;) I’m such a nerd, sorry. Anyway, you do a freaking fantastic job of getting into Dana’s head, and if I were Lara I’d be really pissed off right about now. You’ve managed to make me feel bad for the Soup Chef, so be proud!
Watching a Jet game with Patriot fans … sorry for you! Are you going to hang out with your Pats friends next week too? I find myself liking Jules a lot. She seems to have real depth. I hope she’s someone Alice can fall for.I think Dana doesn’t wants to be so selfish as to mess up things for Alice, but I’m sure she’ll blow up the thing with Jules – eventually.Go Helena! Speak the truth! :-D
Well let me start off by saying that you can never talk to me too much about music. lol. It’s pretty much my life :D Moving on to Jenny Lewis, I have met her several times and she is amazing and beautiful. I will have to tell you the story sometime of how we first met but it was awesome and hilarious and she’s fantastic! Very short though…which surprised me a bit…anyways, RK is my all time fav band and her solo album was excellent! PM sometime about them. Ok so on to the story. lol. This was awesome and I love where it’s headed. I don’t know how I missed this story but I am glad I found it. Keep up the great work and post again soon!
