Lest I Forget (3)
It wasn’t all doom and gloom when we were together, though. As I kept getting stronger and Al and I kept getting closer, the group started to have get-togethers like we used to. While they’d been at clubs or the Planet before, they started to be at people’s houses more and more. We did still meet at the Planet, but for any real sort of social time after breakfast, it was generally at either our place or Bette’s.
Helena and I bonded quite a bit in the months following the news about Al’s book. I’d let her move into my condo after she’d been disinherited, and she began a lifelong job at the Center for Social Justice. We were all pretty shocked at how well and how quickly she adjusted
From what Alice told me afterward, the conversation with the editor went very well. Jenny had talked the book up quite a bit, and the editor had really loved it. They wanted to publish her immediately, but Alice held off on agreeing to anything right away. Instead, she asked if anyone from Simon and Schuster could come meet with her. They agreed, and set up a meeting time a few days from then.
She was nervous, which I guess was to be expected. The day before was spent in bed, with the two of us just talking and making plans for the future. Nothing really specific since we were both still too scared to put our faith in it, but plans nonetheless.
I’m still not sure what was said or what happened at the meeting between Alice and the publishing house rep, but she came home looking very contemplative. When I asked her what was up, she said they’d offered her a book deal and wanted her to write four more novels while on contract. She’d accepted on the condition that the book Jenny had submitted could be fictionalized…still in first person, but with names and some of the situations changed. She asked everyone if we would be okay with that, which of course we all were. I think everyone else was more excited than she was, especially Jenny. I think she thought she’d have someone to talk to about writing now, but it never really got like that. Alice was far more a private writer anyway.

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!
