“I’m sorry Alice, It’s not something I intended to keep from you and I never thought that I would run in to her again either.”

“I know.  You’re still in love with her aren’t you?”

“Yes.  You remember we went to see Madame Stephanie, she told me that the one I would spend forever with was someone that I already knew, that she had dark hair and blue eyes.  I didn’t know who she meant then, but when I saw Jo yesterday, I knew it was her.  We went to see Madame Stephanie last night and she confirmed that Jo was the woman she saw.”

“That woman is amazing.”

“Yes she is, we never spoke about what happened did we.  Can I ask what she said to you?”

“Of course, she, oh god, it’s hard to talk about.  You know when Dana passed, I really blamed myself, I thought that I should have been there with her and, well you know how much I really struggled with everything.”

“Yeah, I remember.”

“Well she said that she had a dream and that she spoke to Dana and she asked her to tell me that she didn’t blame me and that she was glad that I didn’t have to see her die, because she knew that would hurt me more because I wouldn’t have been able to do anything.  She also said that she was sorry about how things ended between us and that she got scared and thought that she needed closure with Lara, but all she ever needed was me and she was sorry.  She said that Tasha was good for me and would take care of me.”  Alice wiped a tear from her eye.  “It was what I needed to hear and helped me to move on and let go of everything.

“You know Alice, you are amazing and brave and I am so proud of you.”

“Yeah, yeah enough mushy stuff.  So you think you will finally get laid?”

Helena rolled her eyes at her best friend, trust her to lighten the mood.

“Hi John, Is Tina in?

“Yeah, I’ll just let her know you’re here.”

“Thanks, and thanks for the coffee this morning.”
