I had to think for a minute before I remembered which one she was talking about. “With the black handles?” I asked.
“Yeah, and the fridge that has the crushed ice and water in the door,” she said, nodding happily. “Is that okay with you?”
“It’s fine with me, Alice. Whatever you want, like I keep telling you,” I assured her. She just grinned, and that was enough for me. While she led Bette and Tina to the ones she wanted, I went to find a salesman. Finally spotting one, I ordered delivery on Alice’s appliances and the paint we’d picked out earlier. When I got back to where they were standing, Alice was telling them about the next book she was working on.
I knew it was somewhat sneaky of me, but I stood back a bit and listened to her talk. She still seemed to have a problem discussing her writing with me, and while I knew it wasn’t anything inherently personal, I still hated that she felt on some level that she couldn’t discuss her work with me. Not that I would ever have forced her or anything like that, but I was curious about it. I loved her writing and I knew she didn’t really talk about it in depth with anyone, but with me she never even really mentioned it.
Sometimes in passing, she would, but those times were few and far between. I knew from the rest of them that she never really talked about her writing at all, but every now and then she’d give them a sort of mini-update about what she was working on. With me, she never really did that. Maybe because it was still too new at this point, but for whatever reason, it was something she very rarely discussed. So being able to listen in on a brief outline of the plot for her next novel was something I felt grateful for.
She didn’t go into much detail, but since I hadn’t really expected her to that didn’t bother me much. Still, hearing the way her voice sounded a little hopeful about it did me some good. I was still a little concerned over her trip to Chicago, not because of her work in any way but because she still seemed a little bothered by it even though we’d talked it over. I don’t know if she doubted my commitment or what, but she seemed stand-offish and hadn’t wanted to talk about it any further, so we hadn’t.

MT, I missed reading this story. I am thankful for your update because I want to know how A was progressing along and hear more from D talking about the rest of their years together. I am sorry that I was unable to comment for the four posts. Now that I am all caught up, I can give me two cents. Seriously, your storytelling skill is superb and I am so taken by the emotions that went along with each scene. Given both of them had issues, their love for each other carried them through out their years together. I am certain that as hard as the current situation was, together, they would survive this ordeal. As for this update, the shopping scene was hilarious with B & T making out in the public and A & D’s reaction was super cute. I hope in time we will learn more about A’s reason for not talking about her writing and her insecurity of being away on business trip. I think there was more to just about her father and mother’s time apart. Love how Shane was helping out with the shelves even though she was hurt. Judging from Jenny’s reaction, were they an item already? And you ended it with a smile from A. Just perfect!! Lastly, I sincerely hope that you will be able to resolve your financial soon. If you cannot post, we will understand. Most importantly, is your health. Whatever it is, I hope you get better soon. Thank you and please take care of yourself.
I laughed out loud at this — I could just see Alice saying it: “Gabby’s here?!” Hee! Green kitchen? Yay! They heard me! The whole kissing conversation was very Danish. I understand both Alice keeping her writing to herself and Dana being upset about it. Poor Alice seems to have a lot on her mind. Love Dana’s idea on the outdoor office. It sounds way cool. The kid talk made me go all gooey inside. Great update, MT!! Thank you so much!! Thanks also for letting us know what’s going on — I would have gotten worried. I hope you feel better soon, hon!
HOPE HOPE HOPES you get better soon and i know all about the money thing, sucks! You have my sympathy. I’m loving this post almost makes me want to cry knowing that Dana is telling this story to Alice…*tear* For someone whos voice made their living it must really blow for her not being able to speak verbally! I’m loving how supportive Dana is..Really want to know more about the history, wonder why Al wont talk to Dane about the writing thing? Dana is such a sweetheart just trying to take care of her wondeful Al…Great job MT! I love it!
weeeehh!!! The Danish making fun of Tibette had me giggling. That was cute. I loved it, I think it’s pretty neat for the group to help each other out a lot. Dana is very sweet to Alice and stuff, that’s one of the best things in the world. Thanks for the chapter. I hope you feel better soon girl. I’m cancelling cable as well, no tv for me now but hey, we can be broke together. *shrug* hehe Take care MT. x
