“Helena if I had to do it all over again, I would have never made that tape or filed those charges. I would have told you I loved you. I’ve never felt that way about anybody. I didn’t understand how I was feeling and that it was real for you too. I knew it when I saw the pain in your eyes. I knew it when you asked me to tell you ‘I didn’t want to see you again’ and to tell you ‘I didn’t love you’. I knew it but I didn’t have the heart or the courage to say it. I felt it but I couldn’t say it. It’s a long time coming and it’s probably too late but yes Helena, I love you. I love you.”
With the utterance of those three little words the floodgates of pent up emotion began to flow from Dylan. She hung her head and began to cry in sobs. Helena looked at her not knowing what to think or feel about Dylan’s confession. How things would have been different if Dylan had only admitted it back then. She may not have lost access to her mother’s fortune. She wouldn’t have become a sex-slave gambler and then a thief. She might not have landed in jail and then run out of the country. She might not be in the emotionally aloof place where she was now. Whether they would have lasted as a couple or not did not cross her mind. She was stunned to finally hear the three little words she longed to hear back then. She realized she wasn’t wrong after all about what she thought Dylan was feeling for her. She walked over to Dylan and caressed her face. She tried to lift Dylan’s chin to look her in the eyes but Dylan was overcome with emotion and guilt and could not bring herself to look at Helena. Helena held Dylan’s head against her body and gently stroked Dylan’s hair. Dylan wrapped her arms around Helen’s body and held her close. She tried to contain her emotions but after years of being locked up, her tears flowed like a river and she continued to sob in Helena’s arms.
Dylan repeated against Helena body when she felt Helena’s caress, “I love you.”
Helena’s tears began to flow quietly as she rocked and held Dylan once more in her arms.

Squirl, that was a truly an introspective and creative review of the challenges Dylan may have faced as a child/teenager. Her experiences clearly may have led her to succumb to Danny’s exploitative demands due to a fear that Helena’s love was temporary. I am so glad to see that Helena was able to respond emotionally to Dylan’s story – I was fearful that she would remain cold and distant. I hope that IC handles their reconnection as eloquently this season – I’m keeping my expectations very low for the actual show to avoid the risk of being disappointed yet again. Do I get to hope for a reconnection date or romantic evening in the future for these two??? Hugs, East
OMG Squirl, you have just givin that line “the truth will set you free” a whole new concept. For Dylan to let all that out to one person all at once is most likely the first time she has ever done that and also the first time she has ever looked that deep inside herself. Helena would be wise to evaluate her own feelings before she says or dose to much. That was hard to read and a very powerful cleansing experience of truth. Thank you, Md
WOW, u managed to make me feel for Dylan…knew u could…where to from here..hmmmm…pps
Wow this was hard to read, it was so filed with emotions I had to swallow a couple of times myself. It all makes sense now and I hope Dylan is sincere and Helena is willing to give her another chance, afterall deep down inside she knows she still loves Dylan. Thanks for writing us this story, this is what should have got (or hopefully will get) in the show. Great job Squirl !
Welcome JC, then Latin nephew. I have missed and now welcome your master’s thesis evaluation of my stories. Actually you often give me insight into my own stories, so I am happy to see your “long winded response” to my even more long-winded story. And BTW you do make sense. Thanks
I finally-finally had some time to sit down with a nice hot cuppa coffee and catch up on my reading. (: Wow, Squirl, this was such a beautiful and moving chapter. Personally, I never quite liked Dylan in the show, she seemed so cold. But in your story, you have managed to bring to life the “humaness” I wish I had witnessed of her in the show. Thank you for letting into another dimmension of this pairing. (: Just amazing. I’m really looking forward for more to come. (:
J.C. was so right He hit it right on the head. Dylan was one of ,y faorite persons. She and Helena was so right for each other. It was like IC didn’r want Helena to be happy. Dylan was one of the best . Maybe Helena can forgive and not be such a hard core person thanks
Hello My Friend… first let me say that I feel like the biggest douchbag going… I have been meaning to catch up and catch up and catch up on this story of yours so much… I feel like such an A-hole cause Everytime I had some time and energy it was taken from me and I feel like I have failed you as a reader and a friend and I am sorry for that. But I have caught up finally; you have this unique gift to get inside your characters so deeply and with such a fierce passion that it becomes sometimes hard experience to read the inner thoughts and inner workings that you so powerfully display through your words, you take minuet details, minor pieces of body language, gestures, a millisecond glimpse and you create incredible profiles of humanity. Your ability to exercise each emotion within each character and create a real sense of retribution and redemption is awe inspiring. Each glimpse you gave us of Dylan’s past only served to build a more enchanting character, an all to human character that no matter what your stripes are in life is someone you know…. Someone you might even love and care for. Everytime Dylan pushed forward with her story you could feel not only her emotional well build up to that climactic moment when she finally uttered the words ‘I Love You’ to Helena, you also showed us just how the walls that hold up Helena can just as easily crash down, for not only did she blame Dylan for breaking her heart, but for also making her lose her way in life, her very identity, and yet here we are face to face, both souls unbearably touched by each others sacrifices, damages and love, only to what; Find out who they truly are… some say that Bette and Tina are soulmates, they were destined to be together no matter what no matter the trials and tribulations… but you my friend have crafted a tale of real Soulmates, the ones who never realize who they were or who they are or who they will be until they are broken, shattered and completely vulnerable and exposed. That is the sure sign, when you have nothing left in your life, but complete desolation and the only thought you have no matter how painfully hard it is, is a single name, and here it was ‘Dylan’ and ‘Helena’ for they each tore each others souls apart and never realized that the only way to heal them was to admit, and feel again… wow… I am so sorry that was such a long winded response that most likely made no sense but yeah, you completely rock and roll my friend, and once again I am so sorry to have let you down by not being here for you, love and hugs, JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels)
Thanks for giving us a lot more to go on then Ilene could ever be bothered to provide.
Now I feel sorry for Dylan…poor thing..I hope that Helena gives her a chance to prove her love. pps
