“Uhm, Lara?” A tentative voice sounded behind her.
Absentmindedly she responded, “Hmmmm?”
“Are you going to just watch the water, or are you going to add the grits?”
“What?” She looked down and realized that almost half the water had evaporated while she had been standing over the pot, reliving the past night’s events for what must be the thousandth time.
“Aww, dammit,” she cursed under her breath. Aloud she answered, “Sorry….I’m gonna need more water.” Walking to the sink she ruefully shook her head. She’d tossed and turned all night, her thoughts endlessly zooming back to Alice despite her best attempts to think about other things. Try as she might to deny it, she was beginning to realize that her feelings for Alice were possibly stronger than they had been since the last time she’d seen the writer.
After they’d left the cabin, Sandy had tried to ask her a few questions about her friends, but quickly recognized that Lara was still off balance by the sudden reunion. As Lara set a large bowl in the sink to fill she thought back to their conversation. “What’s wrong, Lara? You’re a million miles away.”
“I’m sorry, it’s just been so long since I saw…them.” Lara had been about to say ‘Alice’, but thought better of it at the last minute. She wasn’t at all sure how to broach the topic of her past relationship to Sandy. Hell, she wasn’t even sure what to think of it herself.
Unfortunately, Sandy had picked up on the vibes, and wasn’t quite so hesitant in bringing the matter up. After a minute of silent walking, the blonde athlete had sighed and commented. “You had something going with Alice, didn’t you?”
Lara stopped in her tracks. Finally she nodded. “That obvious, huh?”
Sandy linked her arm through Lara’s and continued their walk, slowly. “Let’s just say the two of you seemed pretty wound up around each other.” She was silent for a moment, before she quietly asked, “Do you want to talk about it?”
Lara felt unexpected tears spring to her eyes. She swallowed quickly and managed, “I don’t think so…not just yet, anyway.”
Sandy had squeezed her arm gently and responded, “Okay, just know that I’m here for you when you’re ready.”

Awwright, update! Wait, who are you and how do you know my name? haha, just kidding. Good to read from you again! I happened to check here tonight and you happened to have posted so basically, we rule. Naw, all the other commenters/readers do too, I like reading what everyone has to say about this sweet fic. Aw, three weeks? Dang! But thanks for the heads-up, and I hope work is the good kind of busy. OK, love the chappy. Particularly the pronomial ambiguity we find in the last sentences. Does the possessive ‘her’ as in ‘her eyes’ index Papi or Alice? Is the ‘she’ as in ‘she froze’ a cohesive tie to dear Alice, or to that sneaky Papi? Now, the lexical item ‘yo’ leans towards Papi but…I don’t know for sure and I LOVE it. just thought I’d geek out and ask, because it makes for quite the cliff-hanger. Your grits inclusion was well-researched, too. Of course Lara would know all that;) And I can’t get over how clever the setting of adult summer camp is, seeing as how we are in the throes of fun-in-the-sun season. Looking forward to seeing how Lace misunderstandings continue to churn up the tension. Keep up the delicious-ocity and see you next post!
Ah, Lara. How I’ve missed Miss Perkins throughout season 4. I have a feeling the hilarity of Alice and Lara in sumo costumes won’t be all fun and games. Please, please, please post soon.
Hey Gold! Sorry I’m so late reading this chapter, but I just had to post to say I loved it as usual. Alice’s bleary-eyed, cranky wake up was hilarious… I could picture her doing exactly that on the show (I’m loving the Shane-Alice interactions in this story, by the way – you’ve really captured their chemistry). I’m excited to see what happens with the sumo wrestling in the next chapter – anything that involves full body contact (setting aside the layers of foam in the sumo costumes, of course!) between Lara and Alice is definitely ok in my books. :) And, I too enjoyed the grits research – I now have a strange desire to try some! Anyway, thanks for another great update!
Well I guess its true, th more you wait the better it gets. Loved the update but wish you would update more often. I miss Lara terribly so I love your story. Oh and can Sandy just go away please? ^_^
Despite Alex saying they used bird species to group the campers, I *still* read that as “Powerpuff” at first. I guess Alice’s hairdo could classify her as Bubbles… Right, anyway. Sumo wrestling! That is gonna be a hoot. I hope they don’t get too serious (although, I’d *love* to see Bette wallop Jenny). And after that, Al and Lara have a whole week, right? That’s plenty of time. The three weeks between chapters is gonna seem like forever, though. Ah well, I’ll be waiting. Brilliant as usual, Gold. Thanks for the post.
And by “soon” I’m holding you to three weeks. “At least three weeks” isn’t much help – Anything more and I’m going to have major withdrawal issues. But, that’s for another time. Tight now it’s hours later, and this chapter, ‘filler’ as you may call it to be, is still a great read.
I can’t explain how happy I was to see this update. I absolutely looooove this story, you’re doing an excellent job. Can’t wait for the next installment.
hey!! i read this chapter a copple of dasy before, but there was no time, to leave a comment till now. i really enjoyed this chapter. the end is a perfect cliffhanger and make me wish that i could read moore at this moment. so i hope the next two weeks will pass fast ;-)hug, naren
