After that, Tasha had felt the need to talk to the only person she had ever been completely open with about being closeted: Alice. Although she was aware that meeting with Alice so soon after they had broken up might be awkward, Tasha also knew Alice was the only person who would really understand where she was coming from. So, she took a risk and called Alice, who agreed to meet with her the following evening at The Planet. During their dinner together, Tasha had told Alice all about coming out to her parents – but the more she talked, the more wine she drank. Before she knew it, she was too drunk to get home by herself. So, Alice had offered her couch for the night, which Tasha had gratefully accepted.
She looked up at Alice now guiltily. “Alice, I probably shouldn’t have called you the other day. I knew you and Lara were just getting together, and I should have stayed away. It wasn’t fair to put you in this kind of situation. It’s just that I didn’t feel like anyone else would understand what I was feeling. You’re the only person I’ve ever really talked with about my parents.”
Alice gave Tasha a fond smile; only Tasha would apologise for getting in the way of the relationship that had effectively ended her own relationship with Alice. “It’s ok, Tasha,” she said. “Really. I’m happy to have been able to listen to your problems for a change. You spent enough time listening to mine over the past few months.”
Tasha returned Alice’s smile gratefully. After their dinner together last night, Tasha was beginning to recognise that her connection with Alice was first and foremost a platonic one. She was hopeful that they could re-establish their friendship, though she realised that might be a little more difficult after what had happened with Lara this morning.
“Well, my timing couldn’t have been worse,” Tasha pointed out, her face growing serious again. “Lara looked pretty upset.”
“Fuck,” Alice cursed quietly, almost to herself. “I can only imagine what she’s thinking right now.” Then, shaking her head, she looked up at Tasha sheepishly. “I’m sorry, Tasha,” she said. “I really shouldn’t be talking about this with you. I’ve already managed to put you in a pretty awkward situation.”

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!
