“Wow, what did you do, Alice?” Dana asked when she came out of her bedroom a few minutes later. Spread out on the kitchen counter was a variety of Chinese take-away food, emitting appetising aromas that made Dana’s stomach growl.
“Well, I wasn’t sure whether you’d feel like eating tonight, but I remembered how much you used to like that place around the corner,” Alice explained as she grabbed some plates from the cupboard. “So, I stopped by there on the way home and ordered half their menu, just in case you were hungry.”
“I am hungry, actually,” Dana replied, with a note of surprise in her voice. It had been so long since she’d actually felt like eating a proper meal that she almost didn’t remember the symptoms. As she peered inside a couple of the boxes, she smiled happily. After a couple of weeks of having no appetite to speak of, it was good to feel normal hunger pains again.
“Thanks,” Dana said, accepting a plate that Alice handed her. She smiled gratefully at her friend. “This was sweet of you.”
“Well, I was also kind of hungry myself,” Alice replied, brushing aside Dana’s appreciation with a wave of her hand. “And, I suddenly remembered how fantastic that Chinese place is,” she added as she poured some egg fried rice onto her plate.
Alice frowned as she spoke, remembering the last time she had eaten the food from that particular Chinese restaurant. It had been one of the last times she had been at Dana’s apartment while they were still together. After staying in bed all afternoon, they had decided to order in some food while watching a movie together. It had just been a typical, lazy Sunday for them, but Alice couldn’t remember feeling more content or in love than she did that day.
She hadn’t realised it at the time, but that would be the last Sunday afternoon they would spend together like that; just a week later Dana had come to her apartment to say that she wanted to end things between them.
“Hey,” Dana said, quietly interrupting Alice’s melancholy thoughts. “Where did you go?”
“Oh, nowhere,” Alice lied, flashing a bright smile at Dana. “I’m just hungry, that’s all.”

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…
