She said groggily, "Alice is alright?"
Her friend’s mother nodded happily and Bette wanted everyone to be awake to share in the good news. Leaning across the aisle, she knocked Shane on the knee and the girl muttered grumpily, "Lee me ‘lone."
Bette tried again and Shane reluctantly opened her eyes. Seeing the three others all looking much more relieved than they had the last time she saw them, Shane grinned and questioned, "She’s awake?"
——————————————————-
Alice’s eyes had fluttered closed briefly when Dana heard the door open. Turning in her chair without dropping Alice’s hand, the tennis player saw Shane wave almost timidly. Helena and Bette could be seen peering over her shoulder impatiently and Dana said with a smile, "Come in already. She’s just dozing."
The girls made their way into the room and none of them could stifle the happy grins they wore.
Still, seeing Alice look so frail was a shock to them. Dana shared their discontent but said bracingly, "She’s really fine, guys. She was talking up a storm until about a minute ago."
Lenore followed them into the room and resumed her previous seat by Alice’s other side.
There was a knock at the door and the young doctor Lenore had found walked into the room. He was handsome enough, though he had obviously had a rough morning. Dana had to smile when he looked up from his chart to find himself in a room full of beautiful women. The man’s hand flew to the loose tie at his neck and he struggled to make it appear less wrinkled. Dana also found it ironic that the only one who would appreciate his fumbling charm and corn-fed good looks was asleep. Well, and Lenore.
Indeed, looking over at Alice’s mother, she was eyeing him with undeniable interest.
He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "I’m Dr. Lennox."
Shane nodded in a friendly manner and said, "So, how’s our girl, Doc?"
Dr. Lennox looked back down at the chart and then back to the room at large, saying, "I see a big improvement here."
Everyone let out simultaneous breaths and then grinned amongst each other as the doctor continued, "I’m really encouraged. Her electrolyte levels are stabilizing and the fluids seem to be counteracting the dehydration."

Glad to see Alice is doing well and I love how much they all love each other…it’s really nice…pps
Hiya there frip, great chapter and Al doesnt miss a beat even after knocking on deaths door,,LOL. Seeing Helena wink at Bette. Dana really loves Al, as Shane saw and its the same for Al to Dane. Leonore was cool finally a good mother for he daughter.
so cute. so funny as well. i love the ending scene with alice confused about what “it” was. I must admit, I was confused as well. But I riddled it out. Also – that is hilarious – I also wore m fanny pack with my family in Disney World when I was like 8. I can’t remember but I think it was black with a hot pink line on it. Or fluorescent green with black in it. Maybe I had two, who knows. Either way – I’m sure I looked hot. Glad you got some sleep – now I am gonna get some. sleep, that is.
Awwwww….Alice is okay..I love how Alice just thought of sex right away while talking to Shane. LOL. I love how the doctor was trying to hit on Helena, but she wouldn’t let it go. I wonder what will happen between her and Bette. Anyways, I love that little moment with A & D, telling each other that they love each other. Which is really sweet and adorable. I love how Dana laughed about what Alice said before she passed out and actually told her. I can’t wait for the next chapter. PPS
Awww, cute! I’m sorry I won;t leave a long comment this time, but I just got done working 10-12 hour shifts two days running, so I’m gonna follow that advice I gave you last night. And yep, corn. Chicago’s in Illinois too, but I’m like 3 hours away from there, so all that remains is corn. And some soybeans. And maybe a little wheat down south. That’s about it.
I knew it, close to 3am your post would show up. I am glad to hear that you had your needed sleep. I am kind of like that too. Every other day or 2, I will sleep for 10-12 hours. Love that well rested feeling when I wake up. Anyway I have just finished reading Crossroads ch. 14. You are so right. It is fantastic, a great plot, at times humorous (CD collection, A learning to flip omelets) and Goldrun15 tackled the whole A & L relationship (conversation w/ Uta, Tina and between themselves). Knowing D had passed away, I guess it was probable they were clutches to each other. At times I found it really sad for L’s nightmare and both of them still in mourning. I am beginning to get hooked to this story. Back to yours, A waking up to Lenore hugging D, fabulous! I totally fell for the way you had these two so lovingly cared for each other. I had to laugh at the group sleeping in the waiting room. What a sight! “…you are gonna get it” I wonder what D had in mind because A failed to take care of her health. Without any major aftermath to A, I hope the punishment would be all good and fun. Now, I must get some snooze myself. My raccoon eyes are starting to get noticeable since 2 weeks ago. Somehow, I keep postponing my sleep because I don’t want to miss any Danish posts. fripster, thank you again for another excellent post.
It’s great to see that type of love and dedication amongst friends, because everyone doesn’t have it. I’m also glad to see Alice is well and still have her sense of humor. And lastly Dana is right you would freeze your butt off in hospital…Thanks again for the update!
it is infuriating. I haven’t slept the way I should this passed two weeks, The college festival(s) just ended, I’m completely tired, but my teammates and I won the bowling championship, yay! LOL barely a day after bowling we were sent to a completely different contest, it involved the “best” young writers in the city and we weren’t even briefed for it. We thought we’d just be dozing off a seminar. yeah right, I was so pissed but I kept checking in here to read your posts, read a few chapters of Danish afterwards. I can only sleep 4-6 hours these days. hihihii anyway, I love it that Dana was the one to say she loved Alice, and that Alice said she loved her too. My eyes are petty tired from everything, so I got my glasses back on. I really really love “Let it ride” though and also love the fact that you post regularly. thanks :)x0x
Another great chapter. I’m glad Alice is gonna be okay. I loved the declarations of love. Hope Dana isn’t too hard on Alice for breaking her promise. Will Alice get to hear Dana’s voice mail she left where she unintentionally said ‘I love you’? When will we hear from Tina again? Any way, I’m looking forward to your next post as always.
