“Yeah, I know. Unless you wanna try the phone sex thing…” she trailed off a little hopefully. I just laughed, but it was mostly to cover my nervousness. If she’d really wanted to go through with it then I might have, but I had absolutely no idea what that sort of thing entailed, or how the hell I could keep myself from giggling through the entire experience. Still, if it was something she really wanted, I knew I couldn’t deny her anything.
“There’s no way that’s happening, Alice. Sorry.” I tried to say it with as much finality as possible, and luckily, it worked.
“Fine, be like that. But it’s really fun, Dane.”
“Maybe some other time, huh? I really do need to be up early, Al,” I replied. She sighed.
“Fine, deprive your wife. Nothing at all wrong with that.” She stopped and her voice softened. “I’m just kidding, Dana. I love you. Sleep well and good luck tomorrow, okay? I’ll watch.”
“I doubt I’ll even be on much, honey. But I appreciate it, and I love you too. More than anything. I’ll talk to you tomorrow, okay? And I’ll be home in a few days,” I told her, wishing again that I could blow off this commentary and just go home and be with her.
After I hung up, I tried to sleep. After a few hours, though, I realized it was completely pointless and I’d never be able to, no matter how long I lay there. So I got up and read through a chapter of the next book Alice was writing.
She’d given it to me a few days earlier, without saying a word. I didn’t bring it up to her, sensing that it was a big step for her to let me read it. I hadn’t gotten the chance to before I left, but laying there staring at the ceiling of the hotel room was boring.
It was really, really good, and I’m not just saying that because I’m biased. She’d obviously grown in her writing and her ability, and I was really impressed by the way she advanced her characters and plotline. I was no literature major or anything, but she’d really done a great job and I could easily see this one selling even better than her first, which was still doing great on the book charts.

So not filler, MT… I love the day-to-day stuff and the amazing connection and interaction between Alice and Dana. I don’t know of another writer that captures that as well as you do in both their thoughts and conversations. I love that Alice is still able to communicate — limited though it is. So sad, but, so true that Dana would prefer Alice bedridden and being able to talk. I gotta say: I’ve packed myself and had other folks do it and I prefer other folks doing it. I never thought I would, but, if you get good folks, it really is the way to go. I had one move where the mover actually fixed furniture that was broken before he put it in the truck. Look at me with my filler comments! ;-D I hope you are doing OK. I would so go to bed at 7 if I could swing it. Stupid work. In any case… Thanks for another incredible update to an amazing story, MT!!
heh I’ve stayed in my apartment for 12 yrs just cause I don’t want to pack, books and dvd’s alone would be a nightmare :)…Al’s comment about Shane building the bed took me right to when the three of them did the Love Boat commentary which was too effin funny…really great chap!!
beautiful!!!! great work. p.s hope everything is okay in life u really are a great writer :)
I haven’t commented in ages. Still love this story. It’s so poignant. Looking forward to reading more about the life story of Dana and Alice.
Loved it! No filler, don’t worry, this was great as always. Hope you feel better soon.
I love them! You’re writing is impeccable as always!Hope all is well with you! Sometimes you need to take time-out for yourself! I usually do it with wine, but that’s here nor there!!
