Resolutions- Chapter 2
Arching an eyebrow, Lara accused, “The Alex I remember, existed on cheese pizza and cheap margaritas…and knew nothing of haute cuisine. You got a subscription to Food & Wine, didn’t you?”
Alex whinged, “It’s food pornography…how could I resist? Besides, I had to do some research on the finer things if I hope to attract a certain clientele, right? And, believe me, there is a plan. Let’s go to the office, I’ll show you.”
Two hours later, Lara leaned back from the stack of papers she’d been quietly reviewing. “Damn.”
Alex looked up from her computer screen. “Yes?”
“I think this may just work.”
“So…is that a yes?”
Lara took a deep breath. “You’re like a dog with a bone. You won’t rest ‘til you get an answer, will you?”
Alex replied smugly. “It’s one of my finest qualities.”
“And one of mine is deliberation. Now if you’ll excuse me, I think I’ll go for a walk. I’ve got a lot to think about.” Lara stood and stretched. “I’ll be back in an hour or so, okay?” She pulled on her jacket and gloves.
“Take your time. Oh, and check out the creekside trails….just one of those things you could have daily access to if you cook for us!” Alex’s voice was muffled as Lara firmly pulled the door closed behind her. With a wry grin she struck off across the grounds.
Other than her sister Meghan, Alex was the most compulsive person she knew. Well, almost. A vision of Alice flickered for an instant. With an audible groan, Lara shook her head. Why was she obsessing on Alice these past few days? Back in the States for just over a week, she’d found that her thoughts returned time and again to the quirky blonde. She kept wondering how Alice was doing, and had been tempted to pick up the phone to re-establish contact. But in the end, she remembered an e-mail that Kit had sent several months previously. Updating Lara on all the goings-on, she’d casually mentioned that Alice was becoming seriously involved with a woman in the military, and that she was happy.
And why shouldn’t she be? Lara couldn’t help but think of the parallel between her re-entry into Dana’s life, and the heartbreak it had caused Alice at the time. How could Lara re-insert herself into Alice’s life once more and run the risk of causing more pain?

Wow, what a creative premise! Yay that you updated, I can’t wait to read more (hopefully soon?). Summer camps for adults–I’m thinkng potential to sneak in long walks, long talks and perhaps even inappropriate behavior after dark in or around the canoe launch, LOL. Seriously, though, the clever setting holds much intrigue. As always w/your fics, I look forward to seeing where you take Lace and us as readers….keep up the good work!
I agree with Mineralka – what a creative premise. And I especially like the idea of everyone in such a confined space… I can just imagine the chaos that’ll create. Well. Brilliant chapter. Can’t wait for the next. Please post soon.
i like it!!! that´s for sure! all the girls in a summercamp. there are so many pictures in my head right now… this will be fun ;-) (in this moment i think at the scenes after dana´s funaral, so there could be some melancholisch-moments for me)and also a very romantic atmosphere for lara and alice.hope to read more soon :-)ps: the brunch was great!big hug, naren
omg this is gonna be funny. I can just imagine Alices face when she see’s Lara. This is gonna get really good. PMS!
This is such a great premise, Gold! I love it already – I too can’t wait for Alice’s reaction when she sees Lara. And I agree with Min – I’m thinking there will be lots of opportunities for laughs as well as inappropriate behaviour at camp! Plus, I’m sure the gang will get up to plenty of shenanigans of their own… I’m looking forward to reading all about it! The idea of Shane at summer camp just makes me laugh. As for my story… I know, I totally suck! But, I’m hoping to get something posted in the next couple of days – as usual, you’ve inspired me to write! :)
This chapter just sparkled, Gold. The dialogue, the setup for the gang at camp, Lara climbing a tree(!), all of it. I’m really looking forward to see how this plays out. Thanks for the excellent post.
summer camp~!!!i used to go summer camp almost every yr….it was funnnnnn!!!!!pls update asap =]
