“No, sweetie, that’s not it at all,” she interrupted, setting the ring on the coffee table and taking my hands in hers. “Dana…I do want to marry you. I want that more than anything in the world, okay? I’ve loved you from the first moment I met you and I don’t think I could ever stop loving you even if I tried. Please believe me. But I can’t marry you this soon.”
“Why not?”
“Baby, you’ve been great with me. I’ve been working really hard to get over this weird co-dependence stuff I have going on. That’s not you, Dana. That’s me not knowing how to deal with things, all right? And I can’t marry you now because I’m not anywhere near good enough for you yet.”
“That’s bullshit!” I said sharply. “I don’t care about that stuff, Alice. I’ll still help you work through it after we’re married, I won’t just suddenly stop!”
“I know that,” she replied softly. “And I love you for it, but Dana…as much as I want to marry you, I’m just not ready. I’m not stable enough to do that just yet.”
“But you will? Someday?” I asked, trying to keep my heart from breaking. She just gave me a dazzling smile.
“Of course I will, Dana. When we’re both better. I don’t know how long that’s going to be, but yes, when we’re both ready there’s no one on this earth I’d want to marry other than you.” I think she might have said more, but I stopped her with a kiss. I was still hurt, but I understood where she was coming from.
She kept the ring, telling me that she’d keep it in her pocket until we were both ready for her to wear it on her finger. I smiled, even though it hurt.
**********
“You remember that? I really thought you’d break up with me,” I told her softly. She was still watching me, her eyes just as attentive as they’d been before. I smiled at her and squeezed her hand, brushing my fingers over her face before going back to my story.
**********
The book deal had taken us all by surprise, its author most of all. We’d gone to the Planet that morning as we usually did, sitting with our friends over coffee and bagels before Alice headed into the station. Jenny came prancing in not too long after we’d arrived, dramatically slapping a piece of paper onto the table in front of Alice. Startled, Al picked it up and studied it.

frickin frick!!! wow wow wow that was amazing maaaaan u are so……….great!!! i love this story i get sad at times but the reminicising is just perfect well done my friends :)
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!
