If there was anything that the tale of Alice’s brush with the Hollywood starlet had highlighted most, it was the idea that Alice was incredibly talented and beautiful; and not just to Dana. The realities of Alice’s growing fame was that the touring and publicity could only increase. There would be scoreless women and men for that matter throwing themselves at Alice’s feet. Dana trusted Alice with her life but was it fair to expect Alice to remain faithful when she couldn’t even share with the world that she had a girlfriend?
Dana was startled when she felt Harrison’s hand on her shoulder. She looked over to find him smiling at her gently. Using a surprisingly insightful tone, as if he knew exactly what she was thinking, he said, "This won’t last forever, Dana. We’ll find our feet. We’ll find our courage and people we love will still love us."
Dana rested her hand over his and gave him a bright smile.
It was the first time either one had ever acknowledged their shared struggle, even somewhat obliquely. She squeezed his hand and said happily, "We’ll get there."

Alice was looking decidedly surly when Helena entered her bedroom that evening.
Raising her eyebrows in resignation, the Brit dropped onto the piano seat and began playing a manic, Vaudevillian tune that sounded to Alice like the music of her nightmares.
Quickly, she stuffed her fingers in her ears and shouted, "That sounds like the music that’ll be playing in the bathroom of the diner in Hell!"
Helena grinned and abruptly stopped, replying, "Do let me know if that’s true! I shall want to know before I make reservations."
Alice rolled her eyes and said, "Shouldn’t you be off with your lady love?"
Helena scoffed animatedly and said, "Not bloody likely. We had a fight."
Alice’s face showed genuine surprise as she asked, "Already?"
"Mmm," mumbled Helena.
The musician rolled her eyes again and said, "What’d you fight over now? How many pages are in the 1837 edition of The Turn of the Screw?"
Helena watched Alice fondly and said through a grin, "The Turn of the Screw wasn’t published in 1837, Alice. But I’m sure you knew that."
Alice puffed herself up and said seriously, "Yeah. Of course I know that."

Frip you are sure posting fast what your drinking Reed Bull or what??LOL Anyway, Is ee that B&H had thier first fight, to say the least they are competitive and n so manyways that’s great but at the same time it’s not, we shall see what happens next with htem. As for AL and Dane they are perfect for one another…great last two chpaters frip.
aww, your version of Harrison is adorable! I still heart this, although you won’t disclose who Studly Al made out with so long ago. This gets better with every chapter, so keep it up! But take a break every now and then, sheesh. I feel like it’s taking me years between posts and here you are, one or more a day.
They’re are SOOOO CUTE!!!!! I love how Dana wants to rethink the no sex policy. Who could resist the sex wtih A? Or with D? lol Bette and Helena had their first fight eh??? Mmmmm..wondering how things will work out with them..Sharon and Irwin are coming to visit their daughter for Parents’ weekend. I can’t wait to see what will happen when they arrive to the school to see Dana. Will Dana introduced Alice to her parents as a friend or will she keep Alice in the dark?? Well I know you won’t disappoint me with your wonderful creation with our favorite ladies…Thanks again 4 your support with my story..AND keep up the good writing!!! PPS.
When I saw the mentioning of Parents’ Weekend, I cringed…I despise it, almost as much as Sibs and Kids weekend…Helena and Bette are ridiculous, what did they fight over. Probably nothing serious enough to argue about….Alice and Dana are way cute…pps
Just got back from a weeks holiday and was delighted to find all of your updates, which I have just caught up on. Fantastic story and wonderful writing. Danish forever!!!
this story is sooooooo great! i think im adicted lol. thanks for posting regularly, theres always somehing great to read, PPS!
fripter, I read what you wrote to MT in “You”. Don’t you ever “feel ridiculously frivolous”, “Let It Ride” took place when the characters were much younger. You are doing a damn good job. First of all judging by all the comments, you should be proud of yourself. Secondly, LIR is your 1st Danish story and yet you have already captured our full attention. LIR is funny and entertaining. To top everything off, you show great respect in spending time responding to our comments. So there! As for the continuation of your story, if time is not an issue, you can go through year by year. Looking back at my college days, with holidays and vacations before, between and after the two semesters, 4 years went by really quickly. There can be many episodes about A on tour and D playing her tournaments, separating during holidays & vacations and getting back together. At the same time, you can have sub plots of S, B & H’s personal development. With your imagination, I am positive that you will have us laughing through out their college years. There could be many break ups and make ups too. By the time you are done with this, if I am correct, LIR will be the first significant Danish story concentrating on their college years. Back to the present. Thank you for an early post, I think it is better for all our health after all. As for this chapter, Sharon’s was on to D, Oooouch! Hopefully, D would not be crying like she was on the show. That really hurt. While D was worrying about her situation and future, having Harrison there was really supportive. B & G’ fight over the # of pages. That was funny. A said to D, “…about to jump out of the window. And D answered back, ” from boredom or hunger” that whole exchange, I had to pause in the middle of page 3 because I could not stop laughing. fripster, please continue with this awesome sitcom.
I say go for whatever way that’ll make this story longer. It’s been a part of my routine now. . . oh wait! don’t really have one but please… don’t stop this now. I promise I’d still be here till the cows come home. sheesh where’d I get that… yeah another GREAT chapter! lurve this
