Alice shakes her head becoming mad at herself for her critical error. If only she hadn’t fallen asleep. “So that was the night Lara left you? And you decided you’d run to Milk and get laid?”

Dana looks hurt. “I was on my way to meet Lara there when I got her message. And I kept driving hoping you or Shane would be there.”

“Yeah, but we weren’t! So after everything that’s happened you go and ***** a stranger. Nice Dana, thanks.”

“Oh give me a break Al. What was I supposed to do? Call you? You haven’t answered one of my calls in weeks. You were the only one I wanted to call Al. My feelings for you haven’t gone away. But seriously had I called you and told you to come over you would’ve hung up on me.” Dana’s almost in tears.

Alice pauses to think about it. “You’re probably right.” She pauses. “More then likely I would’ve shown up at your door an hour later.” Alice smirks. Dana cracks a smile. Alice slowly moves closer to Dana. “I’m sorry Dane, I never intended to hurt you. And honestly it was a temporary fix, ask Shane. The next morning she asked me if it helped and I told her that all I wanted was you still.”

Dana moves closer to Alice. “You are all I could think about when I was with Lara.”

Alice moves closer, “Really?”

Dana nods her head. “I know it wasn’t easy Al. I just had to make sure that chapter of my life was over.”

They are standing so close together now that Dana’s forehead gently rests against Alice’s. A tear rolls down Alice’s cheek. Dana reaches up brushing it away with her thumb. Alice smiles so happy to feel Dana’s body against hers.

“And Harper?” Alice says.

“Yeah, Harper. I don’t know. It was all really innocent, we were just talking and she listened to my whole drama. She was just really nice, it was comforting given what had just happened. She made me forget I was so upset. I don’t know, there was just something about her.” Dana says.

“Yeah, I know.” Alice agrees. “But Jesus Dana, did you have to sleep with my girl.” Alice playfully slaps Dana’s chest.
