“Well, I’m sure Lara will be happy to hear that,” Dana said, and immediately bit her lip as she heard the words come out of her mouth. A sudden awkward silence descended on the table, as Dana’s face registered anxious guilt. She glanced up at Alice, hoping that by some miracle she hadn’t heard her. But, one look at Alice’s shocked expression told her that she had picked up every word.
“You’ve spoken to Lara?” Alice asked quietly. Everyone around the table exchanged nervous looks as they caught the full significance of the question.
“Um, yeah,” Dana replied, trying to figure out a way to explain that wouldn’t make things sound worse than they were. “She called from Paris yesterday afternoon to see how I’m doing, and to, you know, catch up.” She cringed inwardly when she saw Alice’s face drop.
“So, she’s coming back to L.A.?” Alice asked, her voice sounding sharp and high-pitched to her ears. She dreaded Dana’s response, but felt a strange desire to know the answer to her question.
Dana’s eyes fell down to the table as she spoke. “Yes, she is,” she answered, trying to think of a better way to break the news, but wanting to be honest at the same time.
“Well, it will be good to have someone capable taking over my kitchen again,” Kit said, in an effort to break the icy silence at the table.
“Or at least someone who knows how to work a grill,” Bette added, trying to help change the subject of the conversation. “So, have you sold all the concert tickets yet, Kit?”
As the rest of the group started talking about the upcoming show at The Planet, Dana finally lifted her eyes to meet Alice’s hurt gaze. She wanted to explain, but she knew she couldn’t do that in front of everyone else. She had to get Alice alone to talk to her.
Meanwhile, Alice felt her heart thumping furiously as Dana’s words started to sink in. With dismay, she recognised in herself the same intense feelings she had had while Dana and Lara were first together – anger, jealousy, and hurt. Those were feelings she had hoped to never experience again, especially not in relation to Dana. And yet, here she was, feeling like she could burst into tears at any moment. Fearing that she might do just that, Alice got up quickly from the table and tried to make a hasty exit.

A&D think too much, they need to as Shane put it get over thier stubborness…This is good…PPS
this was such a could chapter we had Dana and Alice kissing and then we had drama.
These two need their heads knocking together – everyone knows they belong together except themselves. PPS
Yay for updates! I was wondering whether/hoping that Miss Lara would come into the picture somehow-you know how I ‘heart’ her as a character, with Dana OR with Alice, so the interaction with her and Danish will take some getting used to for me, even though I know everyone and their dog loves Danish;) So, I was glad to see how you’re weaving Lara in. I feel so bad for her, really. But I like how you have Dana remaining steadfast about expectations–very believable. (Hmmm, Lara just needs to have her world rocked by someone else, no?) All said, I look forward to seeing how you continue developing the story and I’m digging the way you are unravelling Danish. It’s such a refreshing change to the end of S3/all of S4, haha. Aww, you’re sweet, I’m doing well, and some day somewhere down the long road I may get enough time and confidence to write something on my own, we’ll see…you and Gold are tough acts to follow;) Looking forward to the next update!
Love this story. Always wished someone would write a storyline picking up from S3 (minus the dana-dying, of course). Thank you for doing it justice. PPS!!
argh – communication has always been such a problem with these two and you obviously captured that perfectly. but what a great chapter. i like the jenny with a thick skin comment. oh how true! post soon.
This 3rd chapter was a great way to spend part of my lunch hour! Now you’ve got the right mix going….nothing like a little added drama with Lara’s return…I was wondering if she’d some into the picture at some point. I loved that Dana wanted a danish by the way! You’re very good at building the tension between two characters by the way- I was very sad when the kissing scene come to an end. Also, had to laugh aloud when Jenny mentioned she had thick skin and could handle negative reviews! Good stuff again, blue! have a good weekend…
