“Listen, everything is fine, but I’m in hospital.”
“Oh my God”
A wave of nausea coursed through Alice’s body, as her gut reaction over-ran her ability to reason. She listened as Tasha continued to talk.
“I wouldn’t be able to talk to you if I wasn’t ok right?”
Alice willed her body to understand what her mind was slowly starting to grasp. The danger couldn’t be that great if Tasha was talking to her on the phone. Slowly her heart-rate began to slow down and her lungs began to fill more freely with air.
“Ok, that’s true, but shit, what the hell happened? Are you sure you’re ok?”
“Yeah I’m fine, just some minor injuries.”
“Injuries? What kind of injuries? Oh my God what aren’t you telling me?”
“Alice, calm down, take a breath and I’ll tell you what happened. We were manning a check-point and we got hit by a roadside bomb. Luckily it didn’t get too close to us so no-one was killed. One of my troops was standing with his back to it though so I had to jump on him to get him down. I managed to dislocate my shoulder as we fell, I also sustained some minor shrapnel wounds from the blast. They tried to re-locate my shoulder at the field hospital but they couldn’t get it back in, so they flew me here to Germany to let the surgeon do it under anaesthetic.”
“Shit, that must have been so scary. Tasha you’re so brave, I’m so proud of you. Is the other guy alright?”
Down the other end of the line Tasha smiled to herself. Despite the perception that some people had of the writer that she was too outspoken and involved in other people’s business, she knew that Alice always had the well-being of the people around her at the fore-front of her mind – irrespective as to whether or not she actually knew them.
“He’s going to be ok, he has some pretty nasty burns on the backs of his legs and slightly more serious shrapnel wounds to his back but he should make a full recovery.”
“So, what happens now? I mean in my universe where stuff actually makes sense, this would mean that you are coming home, but when it comes to the army, I’ve learnt never to assume it’s going to make sense”

“You are my one true love and that transcends everything.” A should get some comfort from that strong statement. She had said in S3E2 during group therapy that their love was too intense and D would be back. Thank you wonderingaloud for acknowledging it. I do not want to see your story coming to an end because it will mean no more looking back at the precious memories of D which you have so creatively written. This chapter is again incredibly well crafted. I love the infinity necklace story. Absolutely touching! I am going to say the “innocuous object” is her winning medal from her Mercedes tournament. As always, thank you for giving us the opportunity that was denied. Thank you!
It’s good that Tasha is so patient and can give Alice the space she needs. The gift was apt, and I’m glad that Dana got to give it, even posthumously, to the person she loved. The last layer, I hope whatever is in it, Alice can accept. Awesome chapter, thanks for the post.
Again that was some wicked amazing writing. I am glad that Tasha is coming back, she has that strong calmness about her that can help Alice sort through this.
Argh! What’s in the last layer?! OK. I’ll be patient. Have you posted, yet? ;-D I was a bit concerned when I read the summary. I am glad to see Alice is OK — or at least not being given too much more than she can handle. I am not big on Alice/Tasha (did you hear I’m a Danish shipper?), but, I have to admit, I like how Tasha is handling everything and that Alice is being so open in discussing what is going on. Again — loved the flashback. I’m glad to hear there is more to the story. Thanks so much for the great update, wonderingaloud!
oooh suspense suspense I see. Good one, now you made me uber curious. lol I really love your flashbacks, the more the better wonderingaloud ;) And I’m glad to know that this Tasha is understanding to Alice’s situation. That was really nice. I like Tasha a lot… okay fine I love her too but somehow I just see Alice and Dana together. I know she passed away but I guess I always will see them together, I’m a Danish shipper too, I like the others, especially Tibette but my heart’s with Danish. hehe kinda hit’s close to home, well anyway another awesome chapter from you. But nah, i don’t think I’m gonna try writing anything soon but thanks for he encouragement. Thanks for this, S
You’re too good, you know that? This, like the rest of them, is just incredible. And please don’t ever worry that I’ll stop reading. Just because I’m not a Tibetter doesn’t mean I don’t love your writing. It’s good enough to have me interested in Bette and Tina, and that’s quite a feat. As to not giving up the dream…I try not to, but sometimes it seems like everyone else has. But anyway, this one made me cry. I’m so glad Alice is able to talk to Tasha about what she needs, and while I (like Alice) am sad that this is the last layer, I can’t wait to see what it is. You’re amazing, don;t ever think otherwise.
OMG.. incredible and YES I BELIVE IN BETTE AND TINA ALWAYS!!LOL. the flashbacks in this story fill in the gaps wonderfully… i’m anxiously awaiting the bette and tina talk in the story and in S5 my gosh don’t most couple evidently talk? great update!
I freaking love this story. It is simply amazing. I can’t imagine what Dana has in the bottom of that box. Other then a trophy from the Mercedes Benz challange
