Alice: I don’t know, Dane. I guess we could give it a try.

Dana: You never know, it might help, and I’ll be there to catch you.

Alice: Okay, let me drink my coffee first.

They drank their coffee and Dana cleared away the cups. She moved the coffee table out of the way, to give Alice more room. Alice stood by the wall, holding onto the windowsill to hold herself up, until she was ready. Dana stood there, in the middle of the room, waiting for Alice to reach her. Alice took a deep breath and began to move her legs, letting go of the windowsill at the last possible moment. For a second, it looked like Alice was going to be able to reach Dana, until Alice began to lean forward, unable to balance herself. Dana was in front of her like a flash and helped Alice regain her balance.

Alice: See, I told you. I’m like Bambi on fucking ice.

Dana: Maybe, but at least you’re a cute Bambi on ice. Try again?

Alice: Maybe later.

Alice snuggled into Dana, revelling in the feel of her girlfriend. She hadn’t been able to cuddle Dana standing up, and she was determined to make the moment last. They stood there for a while longer, until Dana began to feel Alice slipping from her hold. She lifted her and sat her on the couch, before the phone rang. She kissed Alice on her forehead and went to answer the phone.

Dana: Hello?

Kit: Hey, girl!

Dana: Hey Kit, what’s up?

Kit: I’m having a party tonight, short notice, I know. I was wondering, can you and Alice make it? I already called the others and they’re all coming.

Dana: Erm, one second. ALICE!

Alice: YEAH!?

Dana: PARTY TONIGHT AT KITS, ARE WE GOING? THE OTHERS ARE!

Alice: TELL HER WE’LL BE THERE!

Dana: We’ll be there, Kit.

Kit: Great! It starts at 7pm until whenever and it’s at The Planet. Can’t wait to see you both!

Dana: Same here, Kit. See you later.

Kit: Bye, Dana!

Dana put the phone down and made her way to Alice. She sat on the couch with Alice, who was watching The Walking Dead.

Dana: I guess we have a party to get ready for.
