Turning on her heel, Alice walked toward the kitchen with Dana close behind.
———————–
Dana entered the kitchen to find Alice taking a gulp right from the bottle of gin. The tennis player frowned, wanting to say something but not knowing how to proceed. If her mother had been acting the same way Dana would probably be drinking too.
"Baby," she began tentatively.
Alice forced a grim smile and said, "Hey."
Dana walked forward, wanting to wrap Alice in a hug but unsure whether she would be rebuffed.
Alice said," I’m okay, Dane. I promise."
Dana nodded weakly, feeling impotent and frustrated with herself for not even trying to comfort Alice simply because she was afraid of Alice rebuking her.
Choking on her fear, Dana walked up to Alice, who had turned back to the sink to water down Lenore’s drink.
Dana slid her arms around Alice’s waist, unsurprised to feel her stiffen at first only to relax as she felt Dana’s head resting on her shoulder.
Alice didn’t say anything for a moment so Dana just held her. She knew that Alice was a private person. Dana saw how wonderful Alice was to her friends and she could so plainly see that Alice loved her mother even when she was embarassing and inappropriate. Still, Alice wasn’t comfortable expressing her feelings about it and Dana could accept it, even if she couldn’t understand it. So she held Alice tightly, wanting to show her girlfriend that however she chose to deal, it was okay with her.
Dana was almost startled when Alice laughed lightly. Turning in Dana’s arms until they were facing one another, their bodies in contact from the waist down, Alice joked, "How many kids can say they were saved from drowning by the Six Million Dollar Man?"
Dana blinked, caught off guard by the sudden resurgence of Alice’s wit. Recognizing that Alice was coping, Dana cupped her cheek and said dryly, "Or the guy from Love Story."
Alice frowned and said, "I maintain that it was Lee Majors. Much cooler."
—————————–
Settling back onto the couch, Dana was grateful to see that Helena seemed to have steered Lenore into much safer conversational territory and Alice seemed to have had her spirits lifted after their little interlude in the kitchen.

Poor Alice!! I would probably curl up into a ball and die if my mother did that to me. At least she had Dana there with her fir support. So how long before Alice starts to grow tired of having to hide being with Dana? You can already see guilt of it all is eating Dana alive. But what about Alice? Do we get to see how she really feels about it all? Anyway I can’t wait for next post since you left us dangling there at the end. I just love a drunk Dana.
Not a drop of Danish tonight until you showed up at 3am EST. I was about to go to bed. What can I say? You are amazing! Thank you for your comment and analysis. I totally agree with you about ED’s & LH’s. If weren’t for their outstanding performance, I do not think I will be so hooked on reading all these Danish stories and writing comments at 4am. I thought I too came across a story or 2 about A & L. But I did not read them. So if you happen to know, please tell me then I shall broaden my horizon. You have Lenore down perfectly. Thanks a lot Lenore, “Seems like I just met the last one”; Charlie’s angel? (Like Jaclyn Smith and hope is not Kate Jackson); “and the six million dollar man came along”. Poor Alice. I couldn’t stop laughing while reading this chapter. You are just a natural and your timing is perfect. Sitting in the booth scene really hit the whole staying in the closet issue. Good job. Btw, you are way to humble about your success. I am still laughing as I am typing this. Bravo! And I did not have one drop of alcohol. Like I was telling Akiracolorblind earlier. Danish stories make the best night cap. Hope you have a happy weekend & looking forward to your next post.
Hey frip, I must say that I ahve always liked Leonore and wish she would be back on the show. You really got her pegged down and Al is so different wieh she is around. I feel that Helena and Dana got more than they wanted w/Leonore and see why Al is the way she is IMO. Great chapter frip!!
oohhh… leave us hangin right there huh? again, LOVE IT! I logged in two seconds after I got home! hahah I can’t wait for the next chapter
you are z best frip!!this story is beyond good loving it and no do not mind the quick posts look forward to my daily danish can always count on you making it delicious;)
Another excellent chapter! The drama was nicely offset with the humor and love between Dana and Alice. I hope the next installment picks up in the bathroom. And you can be my wingman any time….
HEY!!!! I do really agree wih you about ED & LH. I don’t think the story would be great if it wasn’t for their wonderful performance on the show! I love the Top Gun reference: that was cute. I love the story about lil’ Alice getting rescued by the Six Million Dollar Man. I felt sorry for Alice about her mother, but what mother doesn’t have an embarassing story about their child? lol anyways great job..PPS!
Awww. This chapter was a little hard to read. I had a rough childhood, so Lenore’s blatant disregard and condescension toward Alice bring back a lot of memories. Poor thing. I’m glad Dana was so supportive, though I kinda wonder why Shane wasn’t moreso. Oh well. And as toward me being Yoda, yeah right. I’m thinking you could teach me a thing or five about writing, so hush. This is great, can’t wait to read more.
hey! i love this story, its so cute & funny! i totally agree that ED & LH played the relationship soooo well on the show & that is what made it so interesting. looking forward to the next post :)
