“How old were you when she died?” Dana asked hesitantly. “I mean…if you don’t mind talking about it.”
“I don’t mind. Not with you, at least. I was six.” Alice got off the bed and moved over to her dresser. There were several framed pictures on it. Alice collected together a couple and brought them back and climbed up on the bed next to Dana on the side opposite her broken arm.
“This is me and mom. I was about 4.” She handed Dana a faded photo that had an adorable younger Alice with a woman that could have been a twin of the adult Alice except for the blue eyes and dark hair.
“Do you have any pictures of your dad?”
“I do, but, I don’t have them out. I never really knew him…” Dana could almost feel Alice’s sadness.
Dana picked up one of the photos. It was another picture of a young Alice — maybe around 9 or 10 — and she was dressed in a worn school uniform. She was standing outside a weathered looking building with another young girl with a shock of dark hair. “Is this Shane?”
“Yes.” There was no mistaking the warmth in Alice’s voice when she talked about Shane. “She really saved me.”
Alice noticed Dana’s confused look. “You don’t know?” Dana shook her head slightly, still confused. “Wow. What do they tell you in training about me?” Alice asked with curiosity evident.
“Basic stuff, I guess. I mean, we see different pictures of you so we can recognize you and I know you are allergic to strawberries.” Dana trailed off. They had so many conversations and Alice talked about life on the island as if she had always lived here. Which Dana assumed that she had. For as much as she thought she knew about Alice, she was realizing there was a lot more she didn’t know.
Alice lay down on her side, facing Dana. One arm propped up her head and the other was absentmindedly tracing patterns on Dana’s arm. “My mom raised me by herself. I was born in New York and we later moved to LA. After she died, I was put into foster care.” Alice was quick to offer the explanation to Dana’s unasked question. “My father never told my grandfather about me. It was only after he died that Poppy found out and tracked me down. I ended up being in foster care for about four years. Luckily, Shane befriended me in the first couple days. I’m not sure I would have made it without her.”
Dana heart broke for the little girl that Alice was. By the same token, she couldn’t help but feel very proud of Alice for surviving and becoming the strong woman she was.
“I’m glad you had her. And now you have me, too.” Dana said sincerely. They sat together in a companionable silence, holding each other’s hand, until Alice saw Dana’s eyelids once again begin to droop.
Alice moved to get off the bed. “You should get some more sleep…”
Dana did not want to lose the moment — the closeness. She reached out to grab hold of Alice’s hand once again. “Can we…Could we talk more tonight?” Dana asked earnestly.
She was rewarded with a smile that lit up the room and warmed Dana’s heart. “I would love that, Dana.”
Both of them were pleasantly surprised that such a horrible thing as Dana’s beating would actually be the impetus to bring them even closer together.

AHHHH!!! I was just getting ready to shut down and go home. Whoo, glad i decided to check just ONE more time. LMAO at Al needing to ‘label’ the knobs in the shower…Yeah i’m really glad that bed is so big..You didnt catch me on any of that video sneaking in to check on Al and Dane did you? It was all in good fun. You seriously need to tell me how much this whole live camera feed and the bed sharing is going to cost so i can get the check book ready and work some over time. Awesome job Lil Buddy! I sooo love this daNg freaking story! :D LOVEEEE ;)
Well, now my smile made you smile, which in turn made me smile… aren’t we a happy bunch?? ;) Smiles all around for everyone… okay, getting kind of carrried away here. Hahaha I didn’t even go there with my innocent *ahum*, fragile *double ahum* mind, but yes… Nurse!Alice can rub anything she wants without complaints from me :D Also LMAO at the shower labeling thing. Why would anyone need more than 2 knobs right?? (Get your head out of the gutter woman! (Then 3 is the more accurate number right ;))*Steps out of the gutter herself :)* Anyway, loved it!
I am really sorry for not commenting earlier on this great Danish story. Am glad to see that Al and Dana get to know each other better. They seem to establish their relationship by sharing their past and their future plans with each other. But Alice being a nurse? I’m pretty sceptical there, lol. Also like the fact that Shane and Alice have such a strong bond and that Shane got to meet Dana. She’s like Alice’s big sister and looking out for her. That’s so damn cute. It definitely makes it easier that Shane approves of Dana. Way to go Dane, lol. Danish all the way through:-))) Keep up the good work, MaGoose! I’ll be here to read your next chapter…
Hiya MaG! I have to tell ya that Alice is so cute making sure she is taking care of Dana. I was laughing at how she explained the shower knobs! LMAO! Even funnier, was Dana just walking out of said shower without bothering to figure out how to turn it off!! ROFLMAO! I want you to know, that there is a find young lady and author, who is in Ecuador at this time, and not able to access the site. She requested that a mutual friend send copies of my story (why I have no clue), but when we spoke, I asked “Is there any other writer on the site you would like me to copy their stories in an email to you so you won’t fall too far behind over the month. She said, yes…MaGoose. So there you have it! You are being read in Ecuador, while this young nursing student tries to help the less fortunate. So…not pressure or anything Ma, BUT….you are part of her quiet moments….so…guess you’ll have to be sure to post FREQUENTLY! ;- )
fricking grade A chap…love reading the little bits of backstory, Al and Shane mustsa been cute as hell…the shower, well I am still chucking!

“snobs”? lol. I meant knobs. Pardon my typing.
And so sorry for the triple posts. I am getting delirious.
Oh! And hail_danalice, you’re not the only one who’s getting delirious, my dear. Join the club, we give out toasters upon membership. lol
Dammit, not first this time. Drat. Oh wells, I’m not on the ball. My apologies. I really liked this one! But I always love it when people are able to talk to each other, and it seems like these two are able to do that easily. Alice is a big piece of adorkable with her mumblings about labeling the shower knobs. That’s totally something I would do if I were a billionaire and had a complicated shower. She’s gonna have to laminate the labels though, or they’ll get all soaked and unreadable. Why am I analyzing the labels so much?? Who knows. Anyway, I love this and I think you’re the bee’s knees. I should really shut up now, I’m totally babbling like I’m high. I’m not, I swear. I’m just sleep deprived and hyper. Heart you!
My pleasure *bow* lol aaAaaAawww this just melted my heart. I absolutely LOVE it!! and Lloooo0oooovvee heehee And yes, I’d appreciate Dr. Pieszecki… with my Dana clones of course, I wouldn’t wanna steal da real Dane from Alice. lol Thanks sweety xx
“Senorita MaGoose, International Writer of Danish Fictions. My Danish Fictions weekly show. You’re my special A & D storyteller.” (borrowed it from D). Congratulations, you are wanted internationally and are as popular as Chicki. That is so awesome. Salute!!! Love the shower snobs scene. LMAO like everyone else. I love how attentive A was with D. It was great that they were able to talked about themselves and getting to know each other better without all the drama. The reason behind A wanting to be a nurse was touching. Still loving this story and many thanks to you, MaGoose.
Hello MG… the way you imbue your words with emotions… and tension… is incredible… you include so much detail into the souls of these two woman and it can only create a bond between the readers and the characters and that is a rare gift amongst writers… bravo… hmmmmm… other then that all I have is you are completely brilliant… and wow… yeah I think I might try my hand at a small danish piece soon enough… hugs, JC
