Alice felt an indescribable fury brimming inside of her in response to Lara’s accusation. “How can you even say that to me?” she asked, trying to keep her voice down so that they didn’t call attention to themselves from the group downstairs. “I have every right to be with who I want to be with. You left me, remember?” Unbidden tears formed in Alice’s eyes as her old, unhealed wounds over Lara’s abandonment started to re-open.
“I know,” Lara said in a defeated tone. Feeling her indignation rising again, she continued, “but, do you have to rub the fact that you’re in love with someone else in my face?” She laughed humourlessly. “I mean, seeing you with another woman is bad enough, let alone having to watch you two grope each other all evening.”
Even through the fog of her wine-addled mind, Lara knew she had said far too much. Alice was looking at her with a mix of anger, confusion, and hurt.
“What are you talking about, Lara?” she asked. “Don’t you realise how hard it was for me when you left? I finally managed to find someone who makes me happy, and you can’t handle it.” She scoffed angrily. “Come on, Lara – you’ve been gone for seven months; didn’t you think I might move on in that time?”
Alice’s words hit Lara like a punch in the stomach. She felt tears stinging her eyes, and her initial anger gave way to her overwhelming sadness over having lost someone who meant so much to her. She knew Alice was right; she had no right to be upset that Alice had moved on with someone else. Lara had made the choice to leave, and she had to live with the consequences.
Recognising how her harsh words had affected Lara, Alice felt a sudden inexplicable wave of guilt pass through her. Taking a step closer to the redhead, Alice said softly, “I’m sorry, Lara. That came out wrong. It’s just that this is all so weird, you know? Seeing you again, it’s bringing back all these memories…” Alice trailed off, and looked down at the ground. Lara glanced up at her hopefully. Although she knew her judgement wasn’t at its sharpest, Lara was certain that she heard an underlying longing in Alice’s tone that seemed to suggest that her angry words might not completely reflect her true feelings.

first off a big shout out to Midtown manhattan! Hells kitchen… lol this was just the kicker blue so this IS how S4 will go right? lol if only wishes would come true. Big kudos on the use of Papi character even tho the papi thing just sucks. Helena scared me here so another kudos for u. This looks like its gonna be a bumpy ride and im on it for sure! keep up the greatness and post soon plz :)
Ouch! Hel fire..lol..she is right though..their actions & decision need to be honorable b4 any possibility of a reconnection. Don’t care much for Papi character, Shane is bad enough. Nice update thanks!
I’m glad Helena had a little chat with Lara. Everytime the going gets tough, Lara gets going. When Dana became ill, Lara went to France. ALice starts to get close to her, Lara goes to Manhattan….hmmm…do we see a pattern ? Lara has committment issues and as much as I think her and Alice are cute together, I hope she doesn’t hurt Alice again. Thanks for the post. PPS.
oh and you also rock for keeping B&T together in this story :)
there are so few lace stories out there, and i have to say im extactic that you have this one! its really amazing an di love it! please post more soon, and can we get tasha out of the damn picture? i already dont like her…
nice work, love the whole lace ship so this fic is definatly going to turn out to be a fave. Post soon!
I am loving this!!!! Keep up the good work.
I just read the first two chapters & I’m definitely intrigued. While I will always be a Danish fan … I do enjoy Lace & would hope that they get a chance on TLW.
omg i LOVE IT! It’s totally satisfying until the premier of S4, I’ll be really interested to see how it turns out. Did I mention I love it? I loveee Alice and Lara and I don’t know why. I just connect with them. This story is fabulous and I love how protective Helena was, she made such a good point. I love Helena. Wow, it’s so crazy how things have changed over the season. I never would’ve expected to be saying these things you know? Anyways, I ‘ve done enough rambling. Can’t wait for the next update! You’re fabulous!
Welcome home… *Sad sigh* Lara IS a runner isnt she? I mean, first after the initial break up with Dana… then to paris, not to NY… What would be the background of that I wonder? Thanks for this wonderfull update! PPS!
I’ve just gotten around to read this story. I love it! It’s – just as your other story – well-written. You capture the feelings (the aching) of Lara and Alice very well. I like it that all the spoilers are wrapped up in this story. I’m actually getting excited to see how all this will develop in S4 (at first I was a bit skeptic about all the new characters on the show). I’m really glad to hear this is going to be a Lace-story (eventually)! They have to work out a lot of things but I hope they know their relationship has much more meaning than their inital reason for hooking up (out of grief of Dana).
Hm, Helena has a point. I liked it! Can’t wait for more!
I love this but I just hope that alice and lara work all of the shit out and then get back together great update
I hear what the other readers have to say about Lara’s penchant for bolting when the going gets tough, but, hey: This is still more characterization for the girl than we’ve had in the past three seasons. And that ‘talk’ just made me love Helena. I love this.
Great update, can’t wait to keep reading more. I agree with Helena that Lara has been a common denominator in Alice’s ‘low points’ BUT…the times that Lara has left, she’s pretty much been shown the door, no? What’s a girl to do? Tough one. Still, nice touch having Helena step in and say her piece and giving Lara something to chew over. Of course, I love how you keep that Lace spark on simmer mode–obviously the door has not been shut on these two, yay!, and lots of room for angsty goodness, not to mention character development. They are angry at each other yet still step back offer polite and kind feelings from the heart, so there seems to be that respect there. Of course, I’m interpreting it as LURVE. I’m looking forward to seeing how these two continue their journey. Update soon please;) Great job as always!
well of course I agree with Min, that Lara has been shown the door the times that she’s bolted….but, she’ll be allowed back in…no? Through the haze of Oktoberfest, Lara’s actions seems perfectly plausible, so….I’m hoping for some Lace reunion action soon….and as for mine…it will come early next week…I must return home first and concentrate! For the time being….I am SO glad you are writing again…and I am, SOOOOOOO enjoying your new story!Yay!waiting for more…..
