Dana half skipped out the door of Maggie’s, only to be hit by the fact that they both had thier own cars there. Dana wanted to ride with Alice, the blonde beauty looked kinda lost, like she had just opened a portal to her soul to Dana. Dane knew that if she let Alice ride home by herself, she would think Dana wasn’t on the same page as her.

"Al, let’s take my car. I’ll send Shane a text if that’s what you wanna do?" Alice nodded and handed Dana her keys. Dana pulled out her cell and typed "drive the coop to my house, keys in console." and sent it. She helped Alice into the passenger side of the Mercedes and sprinted to stick the Mini keys in the middle console.

Dana climbed into the Mercedes and started it up. Alice had been so lost in her own thoughts that the engine startled her. "Woah, Al, it’s ok babe. Just the engine." Alice looked at Dana and just nodded, reaching for her hand and lacing thier fingers. "It’s alright Al."

Dane took the exit to her condo and sped up the ramp. Shooting a sideways glance at her favorite journalist, she saw Al getting sleepy, her eyelids heavy. "Hang on Alice, we’re almost there." Alice opened her eyes obediently and kept them there until they pulled into the condo.

Dana rushed over to Alice’s side and helped her from the car while lacing thier fingers. All of these things Dana was doing for Alice felt just as normal as breathing and talking. Dana unlocked her condo door as she held Alice tight to her body.

They half stumbled into the bedroom, due to the fact that Alice was so tired and Dana was trying to help her stay up. They made it to the bed and Dana slowly lay Alice down on her back. "You need anything, Al?" Alice looked at her like she was crazy. "Yeah, these fucking clothes off. Gimme some jammies."

Dana grabbed 2 pairs of basketball shorts and 2 tanks. She crept back to the bed and handed a set to Al, who changed quickly and was laying with her back to Dana. Dane crept in behind her, sliding under the sheet and comforter. Alice wriggled closer to Dana. "I miss your arms around me, Dane. You’re the only place I’ve ever felt safe." Dana scooted to Al and got in thier classic spooning position. Alice quickly fell asleep.
