Posthumous Wisdom (36)
As she approached, she saw the writer’s hunched figure sitting with her legs dangling over the edge. Not wanting to startle her, Shane stopped a few yards behind her and softly called her name.
“Al? It’s just me, Shane. I thought I might find you here. I’ve been worried about you” she continued as she softly edged her way closer.
The writer turned and looked up, her face was red and blotchy, her hair was pulled back roughly clearly not having been brushed and the look in her eye was one of despair. She appeared to be turning something over and over in her hand. Shane quickened her pace and perched next to her. The instant she was seated the writer threw her arms around her neck and buried her face in her shoulder. Shane wrapped her arm protectively around Alice’s shoulder and found herself mumbling platitudes of her own in her ear.
“It’s going to be ok Al. We’ll figure all this out. Dana wouldn’t want you to be so upset. I’m here now, I’m going to take care of you.”
Slowly, the writer eased herself away and Shane looked at her face surprised to find that it was free from tears. “I don’t think there’s any water left in my system” Alice observed meekly as she saw Shane looking at her face.
“How long have you been here?”
“I saw the sunrise”
“That must have been beautiful”
“Yeah, it was, it was really beautiful and I was here watching it alone. It’s so unfair Shane. I thought I was getting a handle on all of this. Really though, all that I was doing was sweeping it under the carpet. Without Dana here to talk to, I never felt like I could work through it all because there were just too many unanswered questions. Now though, she’s pretty much answered all my questions and in some ways that just makes things worse.”
“She loved me you know?” Alice asked the question looking up into Shane’s eyes almost with an element of disbelief on her own face. “She really truly loved me” she reiterated. Shane was shocked to see how surprised Alice was to finally have this confirmation. How crippling it must have been for the writer since her break-up to truly doubt if the one person she had ever fully given her heart to had ever really loved her in return.

I love this story and I do read it all the time I just get behind so I can’t always leave a post to say how great it is to read so I am now up to date I just have to say I love this story please post again soon and great update as always
Shane is right, she’ll have to let Tasha in and see where it goes. If it’s not meant to be, it’s not an excuse to give up and stop trying. The first step’s always the hardest, and Alice will have to take it at some point. As always, wa, this was excellent. Thanks for the chapter.
amazing chap, amazing friendship…(see I need friends like that, mine are nutters..so no more confusion) :)
This story is so amazing and seeing Alice deal with the loss of her love is heartbreaking. I am so glad that Shane is there for her.
