    Author Notes:

    Dana reminisces with Alice about the two of them getting officially back together, Alice’s first book in its beginning stages, a trip to Italy and other such things. Also some news on Al’s condition.

    During the recovery period, our friends were a constant presence, and I doubt we’d have made it otherwise, either individually or as a couple. As my strength started to return, we began meeting at the Planet again every morning. It took time, of course, but before long I was willing to go to clubs and to people’s houses. Alice, though…it would worry me when she’d try and spend all her time with me. It was touching that she wanted to do that, but it was driving us both nuts. I finally managed to convince her to start going out without me, if only on a limited basis.

    She did it, albeit reluctantly. Shane was a huge help in getting her off the couch and out to bars again, and before too long Alice started to seem to enjoy it like she always had. She’s always been very social, and if you lock her away for a long time, she gets depressed. Even if she’s the one locking herself away. So I was glad when she’d leave a few nights a week and go out with Shane and Helena and the rest of them. She wouldn’t stay for too long, of course; even I could tell that she was just staying out long enough to appease people before coming home to me. It didn’t matter much, though. The end result was the same no matter what her reasons behind it were, and as the weeks went by it got a little easier to be with her every day. The more time that passed, the less she looked as though her world would be ripped out from under her at any moment.

    I don’t think I ever officially moved in with her, but I never stayed at the condo again unless she and I were fighting…and usually, she’d go stay with Helena or Shane or even Bette if that happened, so it didn’t matter much. No one ever said anything about it, although I’m sure they noticed. Sometimes, before I got cleared to drive, I’d ask one of them if they could run me over to the condo if I needed something from there. They almost always did, and before much more than a month had gone by the great majority of my stuff was at Alice’s. I was home, and although I wasn’t fully recovered yet, I’d never felt better. Even with the strange sort of dynamic Alice and I had created since the sickness…a weird, almost painfully halting relationship.

    1. After two chapters I am in awe. You are doing a wonderful job writing this from Dana’s perspective, and I look forward to her further recounting their lives together. I somehow have a feeling I will need tissues handy…

    2. I read this as soon as I saw it posted, but, wanted to re-read it before commenting. I really love this story and you know how I feel about your writing (although I am sorry to hear it springs from insomnia. Insomnia sucks). I love the details and the honesty with which you write — it seems so real to the characters. Things aren’t always perfect in relationships, but, if you are in the right one, you can work through it and be stronger. I guess I didn’t realize from the first chapter that Alice would be so “with it”. What a blessing to be able to say goodbye and know the person has heard it. Love the non-verbal communication the girls have after so many years together. I do have to keep reminding myself that they have had 37-38 years together because some of this is just so sad. Thanks for the great story!

    6. This is such a great story. I look forward to hearing more about their life together. I love the way even though Alice can’t talk you give her such a strong voice.

    7. Wow, beautifully written as always and so realistic. People always assume that if you’re old then it’s somewhat ok when it’s your time, not really understanding that sometimes it’s worse. Thank you so much for your dedication too, means a lot :)

    8. you made me cry! hahahah and I don’t cry much:) guess that changes now huh? hehe thanks for updating, this is a wonderful story. I don’t know what I would do if I were Dana in that situation. This is very well written, thanks! you’re awesome… PPS?;D

    9. Thank you for this wonderful 2nd chapter.Realistic and wonderfully written as you always manage to do. I’m just in awe.And to read about their getting back together and their life together is really nice. I probably could say more about this story, but I can’t keep really form the words right now. And english not being my 1st language sucks at this point, lol.Can’t wait for the next chapter.

    10. And again you leave me speechless. Well done! Excellent! I could go on and on with those kind of superlatives when I talk about this story. I hope the next chapter contains memories of Danish with their family. I would love to know how does two were as mums.
