Dana gave her a quizzical look, but decided to remain quiet. She had a suspicion that she knew exactly where Alice’s mind had gone; it was the same place hers had been for the past three days. With Alice spending all her time at Dana’s apartment now, it was hard for both women not to be constantly reminded of their previous relationship. Although the circumstances of their arrangement now were wildly different from before, many of the feelings were still there, bubbling away under the surface of their friendship.
Dana felt a sudden flash of guilt as she recalled her conversation with Lara. She knew she had to tell Alice about it, but she couldn’t figure out how to bring it up without upsetting her. Alice had been so wonderful to her, and they were getting along so well; the last thing Dana wanted to do was ruin that. Despite their mended friendship, Dana knew it would hurt Alice to know that Lara was returning to L.A., even though Dana had no intention of getting back together with her again. Alice still harboured a lot of pain over what had happened during and after their break-up months ago, and Dana didn’t want to rehash all of that right now. Instead, she decided she would wait until the right opportunity to tell Alice about her conversation.
After filling their plates, the women wordlessly agreed to take their meal into the living room to eat, as had always been their habit when they were together. Almost unconsciously, Alice sat cross-legged on her usual spot on the floor beside the coffee table, while Dana sat close to her on the couch. They ate in companionable silence for a couple of minutes before Alice spoke.
“You seem to be feeling a lot better these past couple of days,” she said.
“I am,” Dana confirmed happily. “Thanks to you, Dr. Pieszecki.”
Alice smiled. “Hey, all I’ve done is order take-out and make sure you take your medication.”
“You’ve done a lot more than that, Al,” Dana said gratefully. “In fact, I’m feeling so good that I was thinking about venturing outside tomorrow. I thought maybe I’d come with you to The Planet to see everyone.”
Alice’s grin widened at Dana’s suggestion. “Really? That would be great, Dana. I know everyone really wants to see you… as long as you’re sure you’re up for it.”

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…
