As she tucked into a piece of Planet Blueberry Pie –to her delight, the only part of the delicious meal not prepared by Tina’s own hands – Alice found herself uncharacteristically quiet. She knew Tina could sense there was something on her mind but was trying to give her the space to talk about it if and when she wanted to. Alice chose the cowardly option and continued with some more light-hearted conversation.
“So, that earth-child of mine sure is smart huh? It must be all the time she spends with me, I’ll have her playing Trivial Pursuit in no time.”
Sensing an opportunity to steer the conversation, Tina responded
“Yep, she’s definitely going to give us all a run for our money. It’s funny you should mention games though, her Aunty Dana sure had some good advice for her in that department.”
Alice looked at Tina in confusion and as she started to understand what must have happened she got a look on her face which could only be described as pride
“I can’t believe she even thought to write to Angie. She really was incredible huh?” Alice beamed.
Tina leant across the table and covered the writer’s hand with her own.
“She sure was Al, she sure was. Have you opened your parcel yet?”
“Sort of”
“How does that work?”
“Well Dana seems to have it all planned out. There are various layers and I’ve opened the first two but now I’m kind of stuck.”
“How come?”
“Well, what is in the first two layers reminded me of some questions that still linger in my mind. Questions that I want the answers to but at the same time I’m terrified to hear. Does that make sense? Probably not huh? I’m going crazy again right?”
“To me Alice, that makes sense like you wouldn’t believe. That’s part of how things with Bette and I got so badly messed up. After her affair I had all these questions that I really needed answers to. I was so scared that I wouldn’t be able to handle the answers; I just kept putting off asking. As you can see that policy didn’t work out that well for me.”
“Part of what’s so scary for me though is that I have no control over which questions get answered you know? I have no idea what she chose to say to me and for as long as I still have something left to open I can live in hope that the answer I want is there. I’ve already had to come to terms with the fact that I was never going to get those answers once and now the prospect of it is right in front of me all of a sudden. I don’t want to be disappointed.”

Hey Wonderingaloud, you are definitely on my list of favourite authors on this site. I’m just loving every word. You address each character with an authenticity that’s brilliant. Keep on posting. I’ll love to see how you will bring Bette and Tina together again for more conversations as well as Shane and Carmen.
Thank you wonderingaloud for yet another insightful post. This story is truly touching and wishing that Ms Dana did not die so soon. But, then, you would not be writing this incredible story. I am looking forward to seeing A opening the rest of the box. pps.
Everyone seems to have a certain character whom they’re ready to have read their letter. I don’t know who’s letter I’m anticipating. This story is so good, I’ll take whoever you choose. Okay, okay, I do have a very strong desire to see a scene with Shane and Carmen or Carmen and the gang, but no pressure.
everything that beachlife said… I’m being a bad commenter huh? I know I’m not good at this but yeah, the conversation between Alice and Tina is one that I could only wish o be included in the show. It’s amazing for me how people can communicate. I wish I knew how to though hihi. thanks for updating wonderingaloud, ‘ppreciate it PP as soon as you can. I’m looking forward o the next chapters.:D
Love the heart felt conversation between tina and alice.. which you rarely see on the show between these two.. excellent….
Another great chapter, wondering! You really capture dialog well and the conversation between Alice and Tina seemed so true to their characters. Thanks for the update. PPS!
Absolutely love your writing! This chapter broke my heart for both of these women…but always under it all is a layer of hope. Thanks!
I love this story! It is convoluted and captivating.
I love this story. I am such a huge fan of Alice. I miss dana. This story tells them all so well. All the conversations and reactions are so to character.
