One of life’s great ironies is that the same set of circumstances can mean entirely different things to different people. From Alice’s perspective, she and Dana were making tremendous progress and she felt more secure in their relationship than she had since Dana renewed her friendship with Lara.
Dana, on the other hand, wondered what the hell was wrong with her. She loved Alice more than anyone and was in love, truly in love, for the first time in her life. So why did she feel the need to withhold a part of herself and let Alice think she was over-reacting? She took her frustrations out on the innocent tennis balls she was serving on the practice court.
Wham. Ace.
How could she tell Alice that she and Lara spent most of their time discussing Alice and how much she loved her when they were together?
Wham. Ace.
Alice wouldn’t believe it.
Wham. Ace.
Hell, she didn’t believe it.
Wham. Net.
Damn.
Wham. Ace.
Then came the transcendent moment while they made love yesterday.
Wham. Net.
Damn.
Wham. Net.
Double damn.
WHAM. Ace.
It was the most intense and emotionally intimate experience of her life. She’d vowed to break down her walls and build on those feelings. She’d been so complete last night.
Wham. Ace.
Today, however, Dana was scared to death. Scared she couldn’t do it. Scared she would do it. Scared she’d disappoint Alice. Scared that she wasn’t good enough. Scared she didn’t have it in her to access that part of her that she’d walled off so long ago. Scared that she was having these thoughts and feelings at the same time she was the happiest she’d ever been. Scared she’d lose herself.
She was out of balls.
Damn metaphors.
Alice nursed her latte while making the changes her editor requested. From her corner table, she enjoyed people watching. Kit was in her element at The Planet, something Alice hadn’t fully realized until now. She’d been amused to see Shane come in for her morning espresso and half-heartedly flirt with two girls in line before leaving without noticing that Alice was there, proof positive Shane was head over heals in-like with Carmen. That was a first.
“You’re glowing,” Bette said, interrupting her reverie.

What can I say…..I’m a hardcore danish fan…hope you have a happy ending in store because the break up on the show was hard enough! Loved your writing though…!!
Your writing is amazing! I totally want a happy Danish ending, but even if there isnt, you at least showed us more about their feelings in the past two chapters than IC did the entire third season. So good job, even though it’s hard to re-live the Danish breakup!
ouch…. heartbreak! so beautifully written though, and of course I’m hoping for a happy Danish ending too! I hope Dana comes to her senses, poor Alice, i just want to give her a big hug!
Wow! That was hard to read. As an obsessed fanfiction reader, sometimes I get lost in what actually happened on the show vs what I have read. In this case, your chapter filled in what was lacking in the show. I won’t use this opportunity to bash IC (again). If you decide to give us a happy ending, it looks like that may be a long way off. I in for the long haul with your story.
Wow. I’m not sure who would dock you a star but you get five from me! This was really well written. Keep it up and hopefully, we will get the ending that we should have on the show. Great job!
I commented this comment on the wrong story… But here’s my opinion (again). :) I feel so sorry for Alice. But she will survive…eventually. Will she be popping pills and act like a crazy stalker in your story? (In my opinion also some of the most painful moments on the show in S3.)
