“Well, I’ve got to talk some sense into her,” Alice said, making a sudden decision. She got up from the couch and grabbed her coat. “You coming?”
“No,” Shane answered, getting up and following Alice out of her apartment. “You two need to talk. I think you’re the only one she’ll listen to right now anyway.”
As they reached the main entrance to her apartment, Alice gave Shane a tight but brief hug and left quickly. Shane watched her stride purposefully to her car with a faint smile. As scattered as Alice could be at times, when she put her mind to something she had a way of making everything seem under control. As she started walking home, Shane suddenly felt calmer than she had all day; she was certain that now that Alice was in the loop, she would know just what to say to get through to Dana.

“Fuck!” Dana yelled as black smoke started billowing out of the bag of popcorn she had put in the microwave a few minutes earlier. Opening the microwave door quickly, she grabbed the bag and ran to the front entrance of her apartment to throw it outside before it set the smoke detector off.
As she swung the door open wildly and ran outside, she slammed head-on into Alice, who had been just about to ring Dana’s doorbell.
“Oof!” Alice grunted as Dana pushed into her. “What the fuck, Dana?” she asked once she had regained her balance.
“Sorry, Al,” Dana said, rubbing her shoulder, which had taken most of the impact. She lifted the bag of popcorn to show Alice the smoke still coming out of the opening. “I burnt my popcorn.”
“God, I thought you were being chased by an axe murderer or something,” Alice said.
They stood looking at each other silently for a moment before Alice suddenly burst into a peal of laughter as the humour of the situation struck her.
“Well, I’m glad the thought of me being stalked by a killer gives you such glee,” Dana retorted dryly, which only made Alice laugh harder.
“Come inside,” she said, joining in Alice’s mirth as she led the way back into her apartment. “I think the smoke has cleared now.”

I don’t know how I managed to miss the last couple of updates to this, but I apologize for it and I’m glad you posted this because it made me curious enough to go back and read the entire story again…and what can I say that will possibly do justice to your writing? I don’t think there could be anything good enough. I absolutely adore this story and the direction you’re taking it, and I can’t wait to see what happens. It’s truly addictive, and I mean that in only the best way. Superb job, and you make me more and more jealous with every post you make.
wow, this was absolutely excellent. You manage to get better with each chapter, blue. I can’t wait for another update!
Great update …. glad the girls have sorted themselves out, but they do need to talk!!
excellent. that was really good. i am glad they kind of worked things out.
Yeah they really do need to have that chat!! But loving the story.PPS
Hey! I was missing this story as well.. but it’s so good. I can’t wait for your next update! PPS
This was a good ending to a long day! I absolutely love the depth you’re giving Dana and Alice…and Shane–you’ve nailed them perfectly! You also nailed the problem with microwavable popcorn nicely too- I could practically smell that awful charred scent! As always, well done, and you’ve left me eagerly awaiting your next chapter! (And did I detect from your comment to Min that Lara might just have a love interest too??)
loved the update
Wow I hadnt read this story before so I just read the last few chapters and I love it! You’re a brilliant writer and I cant wait to read more! You’ve written Dana and Alice’s characters perfectly
omg wow sooooooooo good i enjoyed that very much can’t wait for the next one:)
Yay for your update! I really like how you place Shane in the midst of how Alice and Dana connect to communicate. She is indeed wise. And your unfolding of Alice and Dana’s deep bond of friendship is really delicious and thoughtful, via gentle words and gestures. Potential-rama! And of course I’m curious to see where you take our gal Lara, relative to how her inclusion moves the tale along. Please post soon, I’m such a fan-looking forward to the next installment;)
Great Update! Freaking Lara always gets in the way! PPS!
i’m glad they talked. of course i’d love to see them get back together but it’s better if they solve their issues first, at least as friends. i was kinda worried with the chemo but i hope the cancer won’t come back.thanks for the update :] i liked how shane helped them in order to talk.
