“Bill, nobody else has come around have they?”

“By anybody I guess you mean her.”

Dana’s head snapped up at this and tried to work out Alice’s confused reaction.

“Yeah, has she been round?”

“No, sorry love. We haven’t seen her.”

“Okay then. Well no big deal, it’s not like she cared anyway.”

“I wouldn’t know about that. If I see her, I’ll let you know. Now you get yourself home. It was nice meeting you Miss.”

“Nice to meet you too.”

With that Bill was gone and Dana was walking slowly up to Alice’s apartment. She really wanted to know who Alice and Bill had been talking about and she was ashamed to admit that she was jealous of the possibility that Alice was talking about a passed girlfriend. Still she didn’t want to push the injured blonde and was pleased that Alice had wanted her to be around enough to introduce her to people that she was close to and maybe take her to dinner. As they reached Alice’s front door she stopped and turned to Dana.

“Listen, I know that Julie has probably cleaned up the mess that Jackson obviously left, but I haven’t been here in a while and I don’t know what to expect.”

“Alice, none of that matters to me.”

“It matters to me. I would have wanted to make this, you know, special.”

Dana lent in and gently kissed Alice’s lips.

“The fact that you’re well enough to be out of hospital and let me be here for you is special enough for me. Anyway, I’m here for you, not your amazing décor.”

“It is pretty amazing though.”

“I’m sure it is.”

Alice kissed Dana again, then unlocked her door and threw it open. She limped into the hallway by herself and turned to Dana with a big grin on her face.

“Welcome to my home.”

Dana walked into the apartment and shut the door behind her. She slowly walked up to Alice backing her against the wall; she lent in and captured her lips in a feverish kiss. Alice moaned against Dana’s lips and opened her mouth, inviting in Dana’s hot tongue, as soon as her mouth was willingly invaded she ran her hands through Dana’s thick hair, tugging at it slightly.
