“Alice!”
“What? I’m just saying…”
“Well for your information, they are actually going to fly me home. My arm is going to be out of action for at least the next six weeks, so I’m not much good to anybody in Iraq. They’re flying me out tomorrow morning, so I’ll be back in L.A. Friday evening your time”
Alice’s brain became fuzzy once again as her plan to have time and space to finish working through her feelings about Dana appeared to be going up in smoke. Again, the soldier on the other end of the phone feared that the line had been lost.
“Alice? Alice are you there?”
“Yeah, I’m still her that’s great, tomorrow, great…”
“Alice, is everything alright? I really thought you’d be a little more excited. I promise I’m ok, they’re really all just minor injuries, there’s nothing to be worried about.”
“I believe you Tasha, it’s not that, it’s just I, well, I really want to see you, but remember the letter I told you about that Dana left me, well I’m kind of still working through it. It’s brought up a lot of stuff for me that I realise now I need to try and deal with if I’m going to move on with my life. I suppose I thought I had another six weeks to make some progress before you got back but now you’re going to come home and find me in a complete mess. As you say the news that you are coming home should be exciting for both of us, this isn’t fair, not on either of us.”
“Listen Alice, I’m not interested in what’s fair or what’s easy, what happened to me the other day has reminded me of how you can’t take anything for granted. I understand that you’ve been dealing with some really heavy shit, while I’ve been here. I’m coming back to the U.S tomorrow. If you want to see me and talk about things then that’s great, if you need some time to process what’s going on for you I totally understand that too, you told me that you would wait for me, well the same applies for you. You take the time you need to work through this stuff and when you’re ready to talk to me about it I’ll be here waiting. Ok?”

“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
