Lest I Forget (3)
“Well, you’re her best friend. Haven’t the two of you ever talked about this?” she asked, and I blushed. We had, a long time ago after one of the many times she’d broken up with Gabby. She’d been depressed, and we’d been drinking and talking about our dream weddings. Al had said she’d wanted it to be something simple but memorable. She hadn’t had an ideal location or anything, but I wanted to make it special. She’d said she didn’t want it to be a public spectacle, and I set about trying to think of something.
It hit me all at once just before I fell asleep in her arms that night. I could almost envision it in my head, and it just seemed perfect to me. I had to stop myself from getting up and calling Kit, but after Alice had left the next day, that’s exactly what I did. We decided on a fairly simple plan…early morning on the day her book was to be released, we’d all get together for breakfast. I wouldn’t ask her in front of everyone, but Kit would call Alice back to her office to pretend to set up a book signing there a week later. I toyed with the notion of having Kit ask her for me, but I figured a joke like that wouldn’t go over well. Kit finally suggested that I excuse myself for the bathroom a few minutes beforehand, going to the office instead and waiting there. Kit would start talking to Alice on the way in, and I’d ask when she got there.
I briefly entertained the idea of taking her to Ireland with me and asking her on the cliffs overlooking the sea at sunset, something sappily romantic like that. But as much as I wanted to, and as much as I knew she’d like that, I somehow felt that she’d enjoy it a hell of a lot more if I asked her in a place that was comfortable and familiar to her, where she felt most herself. That, and I knew it would be far too obvious for me to book us a trip to Ireland not three months after Italy. She’d know what I was up to before we even boarded the damn plane.

Yay! Cliffs of Moher! MT, how come you always manage to put something I love in your stories? I’m totally in love with Ireland, and I’ve got a pending backpacking trip all over Connemara, just beautiful!! ( Hummm…might as well propose to my boyfriend…? …i think not…not there yet :). Anyway, Am I the only one who prefers Dana’s first proposal? It was so shy and sweet… and unexpected!hehe I loved it. Well, just like nurseGemma, eager for another danish sneak peek!
Okay this chapter gave me that warm and fuzzy Danish feeling. I love that Dana decided to propose for the second time in Ireland, and it seemed just about picture perfect. Well done MT!
I love the story. I absolutley love it.
Yay i’m first! Well it is lovely yet bittersweet story as we already know but another fantastic chapeter. Feels as though we’re seeing the conclusion of ‘You’ 30 odd years down the line! Can’t wait to hear the kid’s stories and that nurse is fab isn’t she?!? ;)
I love this story of an old alice and dana reliving thier younger days and what a better way to read it just wish we could have seen it in the show but nevermind at least we have you to let it great update please post soon
Love It! Glad Dana went with the proposal in Ireland!!! WOW! I love this! I can see how this can flow for you! Wonderful!
hey, loved the proposal, I had it practically in front of my eyes, the fantastic view and all included. Very romantic. Thanx for the compliment, my english is ok I guess, but now and then I realize that my vocabulary could be a bit bigger.
That proposal was so sweet. Another great chapter. Such a great mix of the happier times with saddness of the present. It’s great!
Loved the proposals and Alice’s reactions. It is soooo Jenny to just give Alice’s story to her editor. One of the things I like about this story and “You” is that the girls work at their relationship and on their own mental health. I went to Ireland many years ago and can’t think of a better place for a proposal. How romantic that Dana had the limo show up to take the right to the plane. I can’t wait for the next chapter! Thanks!
