We were both still trying to come to terms with our new life together, but we’d made a hell of a lot of progress in the past couple of months. We were able to talk openly about the future now, and started to make plans for it. Alice was trying to convince me that I’d be great on TV doing tennis and other sports commentaries. At the same time, I was trying to convince her that she’d be a great author. Of course, the rest of our friends were doing the same thing, not to mention Simon and Schuster’s reps.
Still, I think she was afraid to take that step. She still loved the Chart, and was usually at the station at least a few times a week for it. It had been something she’d been working on for years and years, and I would never have asked her to give it up. So, when the idea finally occurred to me, I almost kicked myself.
“Hey Al?” I asked one evening as we cuddled on the couch watching yet another stupid movie together. “Why don’t you write a book about the Chart?”
She sat up and looked at me as if the idea had never even crossed her mind, then she kissed me. “That’s a great idea, baby. But I think I should wait until this one gets published before I start anything else, don’t you think?”
“Yeah, I guess maybe you should,” I replied. The light in her eyes was enough to make me want to ask her to marry me again, but I held back, thinking that she still wouldn’t be ready.
A month later, I wasn’t half as sure. I’d done three commentaries for ESPN, and they’d gone so well that I’d been told a formal contract would be drawn up before long. Alice’s book was due to be put out in a matter of weeks, and the entire group was looking forward to it.
All of that sort of contributed to the almost charmed life that Al and I had seemed to be living recently. I’m not sure about her, but I was definitely the happiest I’d ever been. The two of us were closer than we’d ever been before, and this time it was as both lovers and friends. I’m still surprised to this day that it felt so liberating to be with her that way, but it did. It was almost as if gaining her as my life partner had freed something in me. It had felt that way before all the issues the first time, but now, we were working through those. While it was difficult, we were making a sincere effort to talk to each other about things. When we had a problem that we’d put on the shelf before, we got right to it now without letting it fester, and it seemed to be doing us both a world of good.

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!
