No Dana in the Planet, no Subaru parked outside the Planet Alice won at least a day to analyze about her attraction to Dana. The gorgeous, ***** and delicious tennis player.

Alice was obviously having some concentration problems. Looking  at her PC monitor and browsing through the tasks she needed to be done, she felt more and more out of working mode thanks to her best friend.

The chances were not helping either. The article with the highest priority assigned to Alice was about “Best 10 health clubs in LA” which involved the particular club that hosted the weird event last night. Alice found herself lost in its photos and brochures imagining Dana in them. Mostly in courts and the locker room.

After a while, Alice thought she needed a very much undeserved break and decided to call Tina, to make sure she was fine. “Hey Tee, how are you?” she asked, trying too hard to sound casual but unfortunately her voice weren’t able to hide her concern.

“Good Alice thanks” answered Tina, sounding very tired but better than in the morning. “Thank you for your concern, I still feel blank but one thing I’ve figured out is that I can’t leave Bette. Not now, not like this anyway.” 

Alice couldn’t help but felt relief washing over her. Even though she knew Bette messed up her relationship with Tina, she would never want them apart. There were obviously some serious problems and apparently Bette – being Bette – tried to deal whatever the problem was in their relationship but only to make it worse.

Alice talked with carefully chosen words: “I understand Tina and I think it is a wise decision. As long as you’re both willing to bring back the old days, I’m sure everything’s gonna be fine.” “I hope you’re right Alice, it just feels like a bad dream you know? I’m loosing my mind thinking of the exact point where we started to take each other for granted.” Tina answered sobbing through the phone. “Hey, hey don’t feel bad Alice, OK? I’m fine I talked with Bette after you and I did. We’ll probably get some more therapy. First we need to deal with the Provacations’ Opening night” she continued.
