Dana was so at ease that she hardly noticed the frequency with which Alice’s name came up. Neither was she aware of the way her whole face seemed to glow with warmth when she spoke of her.
Tina listened intently as Dana described some nuance of Alice’s character with loving detail. Truthfully, she had gotten all she needed from Dana within fifteen minutes. Now, she was simply enjoying the conversation. She had a few friends at Berkeley but she’d left most behind when she transferred from the University of North Carolina.
Dana took a sip of coffee and during the subsequent lull in conversation, Tina questioned curiosly, "So Alice is your best friend- roommate?"
Tina didn’t fail to notice the sudden blush in Dana’s cheeks or the wariness in her eyes that hadn’t been there a moment before.
She said somewhat guardedly, "She’s a friend."
Tina decided not to do anything that might resemble pressing the issue. Instead, she said blandly, "She sounds fantastic. I really miss my best friend."
Dana seemed to accept the change in subject and Tina noticed the wave of relief that was highlighted by the loosening of tension in Dana’s shoulders.
Concern for Tina caused Dana to question, "Your best friend’s still back East?"
Tina nodded solemnly, "Yeah. We’ve known each other since second grade. Roomed together the first two years of school."
The tennis player watched Tina’s bright eyes mist over and she spontaneously reached out to squeeze the blonde’s hand. "I can’t imagine being away from Al, I mean Alice. Or Shane.What made you decide to transfer?"
Tina shrugged, saying, "I want to produce films and California’s the center of the universe as far as movies are concerned."
Dana looked at her watch suddenly, remembering that she’d promised to pick Alice up from rehearsal.
"Listen, Tina. It was nice to meet you. Maybe sometime you can come out with all of us. I mean, if you’re not- y’know, I just know how hard it can be to meet people."
Tina assured the rambling tennis player that she’d love to meet some of her friends; in fact she’d be grateful.
Tina watched in amusement as the brunette scrambled out the door and down the sidewalk.
She genuinely liked the younger girl and she wondered what the story was with that Alice person. Dana had given all the hallmark signs of being in love. Tina’s own gaydar was still shaky, but she thought there was definitely a blip or two where Miss Dana Fairbanks was concerned.

Frip so loved that Helena is a great friend to Al, and seeing that Al took the advice she was given. Now we see the Tina is in the picture and seems to have noticed how Dana reacted to Dana talking about Al, but didnt say a word. I love how Al an Dana are so corny that is it sweet at the same time…great chapter Frip.
Just as I was getting off line, I decided to check the page and come to find out who put up a new post. Well I guess I found out sooner than I thought. lol. I’m glad that Helena was there for Alice when she needed a friend. OOOhhhh, Miss Tina Kennard comes into the picture. I can kind of think of where this is going. I think. lol Dana and Alice are so cute together. I hope that the 3 days will go smoothingly for the two ladies, even though they won’t be together because of the different occasions. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Oh yeah, thanks for enjoy my last chapter!!!! PPS.
FANTASTASTIC!!! will there be some drama coming up? hmm i hope so i love it lol man i love this story keep up the good work!!! :)
I told Akiracolorblind that it would be an earlier night but instead I was catching up on some old blogs regarding the show. Again, at 3 am your post appeared. What could I say other than I must read it. Thank you for mentioning Crossroads by Goldrun15. I will get to it soon. Btw, I also have friends who think orange juice and ketchup are fruit and vegetables. I have a chuckle from it. I think as you get older, you will think differently. Anyway back to your story. In the last chapter, I also noticed the red head but I did not want to think, even an inkling, that she was into culinary. If so, bring her on. I believe A & D’s deep love for each other would help them to endure all hurdles coming their way. From the conversation with H, A’s fear was totally legitimate. There would be the Fairbanks and the whole tennis world that they had to deal with. I look forward to seeing how things will unfold. “Let him who desires peace prepare for war,” that’s deep and true. I also like the introduction of TK. Wow, another incredibly good chapter. I totally agreed with the effect they had on each other. I guess being in love, one could conquer all. Yes, for you, carte blanche will always stand. Please do not ever second guess your writing ability. If MT said you are good, YOU ARE GOOD, period. One last thing, you can always bring back the hand washing deleted scene in another chapter. I will love to read that. Thanks again for your post.
yeah there is a huge time difference between where I live and where you live. I’m guessing your from the USA? or not somewhere in the west? We have like a ten hour difference. I just had dinner with my friends so idk what you’d be doing at this hour. I’m so glad that I stopped to check who has posted, this is another great chapter from you. I just love happy Danish. It makes me smile all the time. I hope they’ll get though without seeing each other for two days lol. Thanks for the post. I’m looking forward to the next one.:)
