“No; I thought she was with you,” Shane responded, suddenly feeling very confused. “Didn’t she stop by your apartment this morning?”
Alice laughed bitterly. “Oh, she certainly did. And she got quite a greeting – from Tasha.”
Shane’s mouth dropped open in surprise. “Oh, Al, you didn’t,” she said, shaking her head.
Alice shot her a disgusted look. “Of course not, Shane,” she replied defensively. “I wouldn’t do that to Lara; I love her. I let Tasha crash on my couch last night because she was too drunk to get herself home from The Planet.”
“Well, did you explain that to Lara?” Shane asked.
“I would have, but she left before I was out of the shower. I’ve been spending the past four hours trying to track her down, with no luck. I even stopped by your house earlier, but no one was home. So, I came back here, thinking maybe she would show up.” Alice felt tears burning her eyes as the hopelessness of her situation dawned on her. “I fucked everything up, Shane,” she whispered, trying to hide her emotion from the patrons sitting at the tables nearby.
“Hey, don’t say that,” Shane said, reaching across the table to grab Alice’s hand supportively. “Lara will come around. She loves you.”
“I don’t know; I’d be pretty pissed off if I were her,” Alice responded miserably. “I just wish she’d stuck around to let me explain.”
“She should have stayed,” Shane agreed with a nod. “But, she probably just needed some time to think things through by herself. I’m sure she’ll find you when she’s ready to talk.”
“You think?” Alice asked, wiping her eyes and looking up at her friend hopefully.
“Yeah, I do,” Shane confirmed. “Look, why don’t you go home, and I’ll give you a call when I see Lara,” she suggested. “You look like you could use some rest.”
Alice nodded. Shane was right; she was exhausted – three nights in a row of very little sleep was catching up to her. She felt as though all her nerves were on edge, and her emotions had kicked into overdrive.
“Ok, Shane,” she said, as she got up from the table and grabbed her purse. “But, you call me as soon as you see her, alright?”

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!
