    Author Notes:

    Marriage! That’s pretty much it. They plan, then they get married. Huzzah and suchlike.

    Her first public speaking for the novel went very well. It was held at the Planet like Kit had asked, and the amount of press there was staggering, at least to me. I even think Jenny was a little jealous at how much publicity Al’s book was getting as opposed to what hers had, but she never held it against Alice. She had her own book deal, and the second stint at the mental hospital had been a blessing for her. Her books got a hell of a lot better as time went on, and she and Al even went on some book tours together. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

    After her first press conference about the novel, Al got offers to be on lots of different talk shows, including Oprah. She laughed it off at first, but as we kept getting more and more of them on the answering machine by the day, she finally started to take it seriously. “I guess maybe this thing is gonna be bigger than I thought,” she said nervously one day after a dress fitting with Helena and Tina. She’d walked in carrying the mail, and there was quite a pile of it…mostly invitations and offers to make appearances and other such things to promote the book.

    “Well, it’s really good,” I replied, because it really was. I’d read it three times in the month since it had been released. “That’s why.”

    “I don’t think it’s that spectacular,” she muttered.

    “That’s because you wrote it, and you never think anything you do is very good. It’s actually a little sad,” I replied, because the things she wrote were amazing sometimes and she never even saw it. “Alice, really. It’s an incredible book; it’s really well-written and it’s told from a perspective people can identify with. That’s why it’s gonna be big, baby. People understand it even if they haven’t gone through the exact same thing. Everybody’s been scared like that at some point, you just express it a little better than most people are able to.”

    “But it’s not even first person! You’d think that would make it less easy to identify with,” she protested weakly. I sighed and decided not to press the issue. I hated arguing with her about her writing, because no matter how hard I tried, she never saw it as better than anything else out there, even when it was. By a long shot. She’d just get very defeatist and sort of withdraw into herself if anyone praised it too much.

    3. sigh…that was so fucking incredible. I really think that may have been my absolute favorite thing that I’ve ever read of yours. It was just…whatever, there are no words. Sooooo good.

    4. Beautiful! Thank you for another great update! The wedding I wish we could have seen on the show. So Danish that they woke up surprised that the big day was finally upon them. “If you gave her some security, her laptop and good food, she was pretty happy with life.” — I’m the same way! Except it could be mediocre food… I love how you wrote Alice’s reactions to the response to her book. Very “Alice”. And Gemma is a great character. Needless to say, I am looking forward to the next chapter!

    5. I said it to you before, this chapter was sweet and cute. Looking forward to the next chapter when their children will be there…and ofcourse that special device you promised. ;)

    10. MT, I am back and thrilled to be able to read the last 3 chapters all at once. I am touched by the proposal in Ireland. A declining the 1st proposal made a lot of sense. What a great wedding it was. The wedding vows were astounding. It brought tears to my eyes. MT. you are doing a incredibly marvelous job in D talking about their past. I am in awe of how you write A’s responses. This story is truly beautifully written. As sad as A could no longer speak, their ability to communicate proved without a doubt that they were soulmates. Please let A linger a little bit longer. I realize all things must come to an end. But it is just too hard for me personally to accept it. I can’t wait to read more. Thank you very much MT.
