Before she could say anything, Jenny started talking. “I gave your story to my editor, and she’s in love with it. She wants you to call her as soon as you can.”
Alice just sat there with her mouth hanging open for a minute. I really don’t think she’d been expecting anything to come out of giving the story to Jenny to read, and I could see by the conflicting emotions on her face that she hadn’t even anticipated Jenny giving it to her editor. She looked pretty well frazzled by the news, and didn’t say much through the rest of breakfast.
“I’d better get to the station,” she said awhile later. I tried to follow her out to her car to talk or at least give her a hug before she left, but she waved me away.
She was quiet for the next few days, and I started to get a little bit worried about her. She’d still talk to me, of course, but never for long, and never about the book. Finally, I couldn’t keep my curiosity in check any longer. “Are you planning to call Jenny’s editor?” I asked one night as we were sitting together watching a movie. She sighed.
“I don’t know, Dane,” she replied softly. “I’m not sure I’m ready for that.”
I ran my fingers through her hair. “Are you mad at Jenny for showing it to her?”
Alice sighed again. “No, not really mad. Surprised is all. I mean, I know she didn’t do it to hurt me, but I have to admit I’m not exactly ready for the world to read it…if they even want to publish it at all.”
“I’m sure they’ve at least considered it, Al. Otherwise I doubt they’d want you to call,” I said softly. Alice just drew a shaky breath.
“I don’t know why this scares me so much, Dana. I feel like I’m being an idiot,” she mumbled.
“You’re not. You wrote it for yourself, Al, not anyone else. I do think it’d be good to share it with people, but only if you really want to. And only if you’re ready,” I said quietly. I was hoping she’d share the story with people; Jenny had mentioned that it was really good, but had given no details on it out of respect for Alice.

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!
