Dakota smiled. “Can’t a girl relax every once in a while?”
“I suppose. I’m looking for my black shoes… remember I let you borrow them a few weeks ago?”
“I have them here.” Dakota saw them by the door. “I could drop them off tonight if you want, Alice.”
“I can pick them up tomorrow. No big deal.”
“I really don’t mind. I was going to run out to the store anyway…”
Sensing that Dakota really wanted to come over, Alice didn’t argue. “Ok, that’s fine. I’ll see you soon then?”
“Give me fifteen minutes.”
Dakota arrived at Alice and Dana’s front step ten minutes later carrying a six pack of beer.
“You’re early.” Alice said as she let her in. “And apparently not alone.” She pointed to the beer.
“A girl’s best friend.”
“To what do I owe this unexpected visit?” Alice asked as she sat down at the bar, popping off a bottle cap. “And spare me the bit about dropping off my shoes.”
Dakota chuckled. “I just felt like some company.”
“Don’t your friends come in handy for that? The ones your own age?”
“Not when I want to talk about my parents.”
Alice squinted in concentration. “What about your mothers?”
“I found some old pictures of them from the first seven years of their lives. Only a select few but enough to make me curious.”
“What about?”
“Everything.” Dakota sighed. “I know the story… mom and mama meet, fall in love, get married, be happy, mom has a miscarriage, mama has an affair, and they break up.”
“And that’s not good enough?” Alice raised an eyebrow, studying the brown eyed woman in front of her that resembled her mother in so many physical ways.
“They looked so young in some of those pictures.”
“They were. We all were. That was a long time ago.”
“One picture looked like it was taken at a bar and it was labeled something about their first year. What does that mean? They weren’t even looking at the camera, but at each other.”
Alice smiled. “I know when that was. Their first year anniversary. Your mothers were very much in love when they first met.”

Fareast,
A big Hello and hope you are all rested and recharged after your vacation.
You have been missed.
I fell for the line “You can learn from them because they have the most amazing love story.” Because it could be written as “I can learn from you because you have created the most amazing love story.”
The tale just keeps up such a high standard that have never dropped. If anything it gets better.
The interactions are beautifully crafted and executed. The story flows majestically from one memory to the next and like pooh sticks are carried along by the current.
Your wonderful imagination has created such a rich vein of storytelling that are chapter expertly mines.
Awaiting their next encounter/adventure.
Your Loyal Fan.
The daughter wants to make a DVD on her Mothers life, In any relationship you take the good and the bad Love this welcome back. thanks
Excellent!!!
I’m looking forward to see hoe Dakota’s gift is received. Hopefully her mothers’ love will inspire her to be more open to love.
They have the most beautiful love story indeed, and you are the genius who brings it to us! I love the flashbacks, they just add so much more to their relationship. I just wish the show did more of that- they should really hire you as a writer. I hope you had a great vacation because you deserved it (although im glad your back because I can’t get enough of this story) Can’t wait for more :)
It was nice that Dakota took the time to seek out someone that could fill in the gaps for her. Alice was certainly the right choice – she does have more dirt on them than anyone else!
Dakota needed to see that even with such a terrible ‘down’ that occurred in her mother’s lives that you can survive something like that to be rewarded with such an incredible ‘up’.
I think that Dakota is quite a bit like Bette and afraid of love. What a wonderful gift to hear the stories that allow her to see not only her similarity to Bette, but the possibility of love that she has within her grasp with her boyfriend.
Welcome back! Excellent chapter, just the right mix of humor and romance.
Greetings Fareast,
I’ve been reading this story sporadically during my limited time on the boards, and am finally all caught up. Your writing is warm, touching and heartfelt. Your words convey such depth and meaning and your characters are easily understood. The feeling I have when reading is one that I’d like to keep throughout my day. Too bad I give in to my surroundings and easily change moods. It’s nice to remember the feeling though. Thank you for sharing your wonderful story and wonderful writing.
Great chapter! good to see you back. I love the reflecting and thinking more about the emotions they went through at the start of the relationship.
Glad you are back. I went to the party and had a great time.
Fareast, welcome back. Hope your vacation was enjoyable, this update sure was. You write beautifully.
Beautifully written – as always. What a treat to wake up to one of your chapters – the drive to work will be a pleasant one this morning.
