“Ok” came the meek reply.
“I’ll just go straight to my mom’s from the base. I’ll ring you from there and we can talk a little more.”
“No, Tasha, I want to see you. I might not be very good company and I might need you to go to your mom’s on Saturday to give me some space but please come by here tomorrow night.”
“I’d love to. Ok Alice, I have to go, but I’ll see you tomorrow night. Try not to worry too much, you’ll get through all this, you’ll see” and with that, the call was ended.
Alice replaced the receiver on its cradle and let out a deep sigh. “Why does it all have to be so fucking hard?” she muttered under her breath. She cast her eye to the box she had set aside earlier in the day and reasoned that she should continue. If she was going to start dealing with all this and try and talk to Tasha about it she had to know the full extent of what there was to know.
She picked up the box and took off the card and opened it
“Dear Alice,
After the letter I wrote you I don’t want to dwell on the negatives in this note, but the unfortunate truth is that because of how things ended I never got to give you a proper present while we were together. We didn’t pass any milestones in the months that we were going out, no birthdays, no Christmas and no big anniversaries. That doesn’t mean that I didn’t think about things I would like to give you when those occasions came around.
Enclosed in this box is one of those things. I hope you like it. Also, I want you to know so that you are prepared, this is the second last layer of this package, I know how you get when you’re not the one doing the surprising!
In case you haven’t worked it out yet I want to make sure you know something else Alice,
You are my one true love and that transcends everything.”

Filled with emotion, she set the card aside and gently prised the lid of the box open. Inside was a black velvet jewellery box with embossed gold writing. She read the words

“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
