“Who was at the door?” Alice asked as she came out of the bathroom wearing an old pair of jeans and a t-shirt and rubbing her hair dry with a towel. She peeked around the corner of the living room and saw Tasha leaning against the couch awkwardly. She looked worried.
“What is it?” Alice asked uneasily when she saw Tasha’s expression.
“Ok, don’t freak out,” Tasha began, holding out one hand as though that would calm Alice down. She winced slightly as she continued. “Lara came by while you were in the shower.”
“WHAT?” Alice barked, dropping her towel on the floor and striding into the living room. Her eyes were wide with surprise, but as Tasha’s words sunk in, a pained expression crossed her face. “Where is she?” she asked, looking around the room, as though she expected Lara to be hiding under the coffee table.
“She left,” Tasha explained. “I invited her in, but she wouldn’t stay. She left those for you,” she added, pointing to the bouquet of flowers sitting on the coffee table.
“Oh god,” Alice moaned, as she picked up the flowers and looked at them dejectedly. With a sigh, she sat down heavily on the couch. “Did you explain why you were here?” she asked wearily, as she bent forward and rested her head in her hands.
“I didn’t have a chance, Alice,” Tasha said apologetically, sitting in a chair opposite the blonde. “She left really quickly. I’m so sorry.”
“Don’t be sorry,” Alice said, looking up at Tasha. “This isn’t your fault; it’s mine.”
“Well, if I hadn’t gotten so drunk last night at The Planet, you wouldn’t have had to bring me back here so that I could pass out on your couch,” Tasha replied, looking down guiltily. “And, I wouldn’t have been here this morning to answer the door to Lara.”
“Well, you didn’t plan to get drunk last night,” Alice pointed out. “Besides, having a few extra glasses of wine is perfectly understandable, given what you needed to talk to me about. It sounds like coming out to your parents was pretty horrific.”
“Yeah,” Tasha agreed sadly, as she remembered the confrontation she had had with her family the morning after she had broken up with Alice. She had gone out to breakfast with them, and in the middle of the meal she had suddenly and unthinkingly blurted out that she was gay. Her parents hadn’t taken the news well at all; after a shocked silence, they had gotten up from the table and walked quickly out of the restaurant, leaving Tasha behind feeling stunned and upset.

awww!!! that was so cute….i hope that is the last of a running lara we will ever see!! although…im sure it would be a nice view from the back of lara running away…hmmm….what? oh sorry, got lost in my own fantasies!! lol great post keep it up.
I did not see that coming but I am glad to see that lara has started to open up to alice in will help them both in the long run as long as the both talk to one an other great update I love it please post soon
Love it. Really, Lara should be kept around for season 4. Looking forward to the next champter (or two). Excellent chapter.
Blue, you do not disappoint (my knickers are back in order, thanks;)) I love how your fanfics unfold and how you’ve portrayed the Lace journey so far. Excellent update!! Very asute weaving in of Tasha’s backstory, consistent with the cues we’d been given before. Bravo to Tasha for being mature about realizing that she and Alice are bound for friendship, and to Alice for being there in that capacity. Could it be that our heroines are growing more self-assured and trusting? I say amen to that. And hey, it does seem to be true that couples with that ‘i have to have you right now’ vibe are not to be messed with, isn’t it? And helloooo, Lara’s history-slash-demons, revealed to us through her self-reflection on her relationship with her family, herself, Dana, and also Alice was just damn tasty. I almost want her to give Alice that smooth shell she found, as metaphor for her new self-awareness and continued journey. I liked the touch of her not having even told Dana about her father situation, but then now willing to first admit it to herself and also realize she needs to share with Alice (again, suggests growth). And I, the total SAP, got all warm fuzzy about her letting her sadness out in the form of some honest CRYING into the arms of Alice: the one she loves and the one who loves her back. Sigh. Oh and btw, the tidbit about Alice finding Lara on the STEPS? Brill. Wow. Wow. Wow. Looking very forward to seeing how this tale continues, maybe even plenty of room for further, to swipe Gold’s sexcellent term, Laranlysis (paging Dr. Alice…paging Dr. Alice…) and of course, crazy hot lovesex? But I’ll leave that up to you as to when that fits in most appropriately, tee hee. Cause with these two…it’s gonna be special. Like your fics!
Excellent! Really like these Lace stories! PPS :)
hey blue! Well done, and to be honest, I don’t think you lifted anything from my story…I love the look at Lara’s history, and it certainly helps explain her actions in Reunions! So, if you want to give me credit…I’ll take it :) ….but it’s really not necessary! There’s plenty o’room in the Lara-nalysis department! (ugh, I can’t believe I just typed that!). I love that Alice was so patient, and I think the whole Tasha thing made great sense as well…..really, the whole coming out makes sense in light of the break-up, I think you’d alluded earlier that Tasha’s closeted nature was problematic for Alice, so it makes sense she might want to debrief with Alice…and I can see the whole getting drunk and passing out after such a bad scene with the parents. So….the flow, great, the resolution, very satisfactory! looking forward to the next chapter, as always!
Well, at least the Tasha thing is cleared up. And as for Lara, I’m glad she’s going to stop running. She’s got more than enough reason to stay put. Chapter was ace, blue. More, please!
