Later that day, after Alice had been officially discharged, she stood outside the hospital entrance waiting for Dana to bring her car round. She was finally away from that place, yes, she knew that she had to go back for various checkups, but she couldn’t wait to get her life back on track. A life that was a million times better now than it had been before the accident and that was all down to one incredibly sexy and very sweet brunette, who had just pulled up in front of Alice with a smile a mile wide.

“Your chariot awaits m’ lady.”

“You’re such a goof.”

Dana was helping Alice climb into the passenger seat and stole a kiss from the grinning blonde.

“It’s been mentioned before, but the difference this time is that I’m your goof.”

“In that case I’ll let you off.”

“You ready?”

“Yep.”

“Off we go then.”

Dana got into the car and started off in the direction that Alice had told her earlier. They had only been on the road a few minutes when Alice started to shift around uncomfortably.

“You okay baby?”

“Yeah, I was just thinking, I haven’t been home since the accident; even then I left in a hurry. I’m not sure what state it’s been left in. Maybe it’d be best if you just dropped me off. It probably wouldn’t give off the best impression.”

Dana laughed a little at Alice’s shyness, she didn’t know if it was possible, but the blonde just kept on getting cuter and cuter.

“I’ve seen you in hospital for god knows how many weeks at your worst and now you’re telling me that your house proud?”

“This is a new thing for me. I want us to start right.”

Dana glanced at Alice and saw that she genuinely was nervous; she reached over and took her hand in her own.

“I think we started off great.”

Alice smiled and settled back against the seat. She was worried about her apartment, but then she realised that Dana wasn’t going to leave her over something as trivial as a few months of dust and whatever Jackson left on his departure.

Dana pulled up to Alice’s place and jumped out of the car to help the injured blonde out. Alice was still stiff and slow but she was doing a lot better and had refused to take a wheelchair. They made there way up to the building and were stopped by a large man in his fifties.
