As they turned towards their two rental cars, Alice caught a flash of something in her peripheral vision. She turned around quickly and scanned the street.
“What’s wrong?” Jenny asked.
Alice couldn’t quite put her finger on it, but there had been something so familiar about somebody who’d just walked into a store down the street. “Um….just suddenly struck by my sweet tooth,” she fudged. “How about some chocolate?” She nodded towards the aptly named Chocolate Fetish.
Helena, a diehard chocoholic started towards the storefront. “What a fantastic idea.”
Gamely, the group followed.
*-*-*-*
The shop bells tinkled merrily as Lara entered the rich smelling chocolate shop.
Looking up from the display case, a young woman smiled warmly. “Lara! We’ve been expecting you. I think Maureen has your truffles already boxed. Come on back.”
Lara walked through the swinging kitchen doors and greeted Maureen, a pastry chef, with whom she’d become friends in the last two months. “I have a favor to ask.”
“Shoot.” Maureen looked at her inquisitively.
“I know you have a few bottles of wine for special events….I was wondering if I could browse your selection.”
Maureen grinned. “You just want to visit the cellar again!”
“I have to say I was impressed the first time you showed it to me! But, I am having a special dinner tonight, and wanted something to stand up to your dark chocolate and cayenne truffles.”
Maureen considered for a minute, then asked, “Romantic?”
Lara only grinned.
“Hmmm….I think I have just what the doctor ordered. Come on down.” She opened a door off the back of the kitchen and led the way to the wine cellar.
*-*-*-*
“Oh my God it smells heavenly.” Helena closed her eyes in rapture.
The clerk laughed. “We get that a lot. How can I help you ladies?”
Alice scanned the room. She wasn’t certain what, or more likely, who she was looking for, but she’d felt positively compelled to follow the figure she’d glanced out of the corner of her eye. She noted the shop was completely empty save for the clerk who was explaining the variations in the truffles on display.

I just caught up with the last few chapters, this is so great (and it’s making me miss Lara). I can’t wait to see what’s next!
And it just keeps getting better! I’ll be waiting for the next chapter.
Yup, caught this in time, wow, thanks;) I’m enjoying your regional flavoring of the tale as well, nicely done. And I could totally picture the scenes of Alice and Lara barely missing each other, sexcellent descriptions and placements of everyone/thing! Plus hello, quality wine and chocolate, what’s not to love. The stage is set indeed–love it! By the way, what do you say to having Sandy wear a t-shirt saying “Drama Enhancer”? I chuckled at your comment about her. And goodness can you imagine Lara really coming back on the show and riding off into the sunset with Alice? I guess Tasha is OK but I aint seeing any sparks in that Lace way. Not that I’m a show addict or anything, yikes. OK, looking forward to the next installment, keep up the deliciousness!
Another fantastic chapter, and very well-timed to boot (I was in desperate need of a distraction from work today)! I too loved the scenes of Alice and Lara just missing each other, but “sensing” each other’s presence. It was a really nice, subtle way to show that they are still completely hung up on each other, even though it’s been months since they last saw each other. Speaking of months, I think your time line has worked really well – I would never have guessed that you’d written yourself into a corner! :) And, I agree that it would be fun to see what would unravel Bette’s world, other than dramatic table placements… maybe snakes or some other creepy-crawly critter? That’s why I love this story idea – it creates so many opportunities to reveal interesting aspects of the characters that we wouldn’t normally see. I suppose that’s why people think of camp as a “character-building” experience… sorry, that was a terrible joke. :) Anyway, thanks for another great update… as always, I look forward to reading more!
i love this chapter! you were builging pictures in my head, so this was more a new episode as a chapter. i could see it ;-) the scene in that little store chcolat fetish was so funny, i could smell all the different chocolate flavours. loveing helena for being a chocoholic ;-)so what could i say to our little lace part? i agree with min and blue, that was great! they could feel eachothers presence after all the month, they didn´t see or talk…i´m sure there is someone for sandy,maybe max? if she is bi… lol, i always want to couple…thanks for that fast update, can´t wait to read more! hug, naren
Ack, the near misses! Loved the line about the Taurus, the Scorpio, and the wormhole… actually, that sounds like the beginning of a rather lewd joke. Dark chocolate and cayenne truffles? Does Lara just have a thing for chilies and chocolate? Excellent Gold, I’m so enjoying the story. Can’t wait for the next installment and Al & Lara’s eventual meeting. Thanks
cant wait till lara actually meet alice…..
btw, im having my ap eng language exam tmr…. however im here…. datz how much i luv this story… pls update asap =)
