Lest I Forget (3)
When I told Kit this, though, she said that I should do the Ireland thing after all. Instead of asking her to marry me in Kit’s office, I could simply ask her to go to Ireland with me, disguising my reason for it as a celebration of her book release. “The girl doesn’t want it public, right? I can understand that. But if you’re on a cliff looking at the sea, how many people do you think are gonna be there? She’s mentioned Ireland on and off for years now, I think it’d be really special for her to have you ask her there. Don’t make the whole vacation about it or anything, but just sorta ask while you’re there. It’ll all work out, Dana. And you two know you can have the wedding here. The proposal’s just the asking, the wedding’s the important thing. You can have it here and she’ll be comfortable,” Kit said, laughing at my nervousness as I talked to her.
After I hung up, I thought about it for all of two seconds before realizing that Kit was right with what she’d said. Al would remember a proposal in Ireland the rest of her life. And Kit had been right, she’d been mentioning a desire to visit it for years now. Suddenly, I couldn’t imagine it any other way, and called Kit back to thank her.
**********
Less than a week later, I excused myself from the table at the Planet and headed toward the restroom, turning off slightly and heading into Kit’s office instead. Everyone was in on my little plan, and I’d called all the doctors I needed to and had everything ready to go directly from the Planet. I’d hired a limo, with our stuff included, to come pick us up at ten. It was nine, and my hands were sweating. Everyone had been giving me encouraging looks as we talked about Al’s book. We’d all gotten advance copies a few days ago, and everyone had been reading. It was really, really good, although I still don’t think she believed us when we told her that.
But none of it really mattered as I heard her approaching the office with Kit. She was laughing and planning the book signing, and she sounded really happy for the first time in quite awhile. When she opened the door, I was still smiling stupidly, so happy to hear her animated about the book that I’d forgotten to get the airline brochures out of my purse. Kit just giggled at me and closed the door, and Alice was over to me in a second.

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!
