Dakota stifled a yawn but casually glanced at her watch. It was almost two in the morning but she made no move to stop Alice from jumping into another story. At this point, sleep was not a necessity, but hearing her parent’s stories surely was.
***
“I think I’m in love.”
“Of course you are.” Alice replied matter of factly.
“How do you know?”
Alice rolled her eyes and climbed out of the car, closing the door with her hip. “I feel like I’m having deja vu. Haven’t I heard this before? Like fifty years ago?”
Bette scowled and followed Alice into a clothing store.
“Ok, ok… fifty is an exaggeration. Stop sending me evil eyes. So you’re in love. Duh.”
“But how do you know?”
“Are you serious? Bette it’s written all over you. Of course you’re in love. You’ve found Tina again. Just don’t let her go this time.”
“Like I planned on it last time.”
“Well it was a bit premeditated.” Alice corrected.
Bette glared again. “I never meant to hurt Tina. I should’ve never had the affair but what’s done is done. I can’t change the past. All I can do is move forward and learn from my mistakes.”
“Good girl.” Alice patted Bette on the back. “Now help me find a dress for the big date tonight.”
“I don’t see why you can’t tell me who you’re going out with. Can’t you at least tell me if it’s a he or a she?”
Alice shook her head and looked at a short and sassy black dress. “Nope. Someday though.”
“You never keep secrets. I don’t know how you’re doing it.”
***
“They mystery person was Dana, right?” Dakota interrupted Alice.
“Correct.”
“And I was the only person who knew about you two at this point?”
“Another point for you. And we were worried that you would tell but you never did.”
“Why keep it a secret? What was the big deal?”
Alice sighed. “It’s a long and complicated story, Kody. Dana and I had dated before for many years off and on. It was brutal and never lasted. We were both in different places in our lives. And when we started dating and having fun again together, we didn’t even know what was going on. How could we tell other people, especially our close friends when we didn’t have the words to explain? As time passed, it kept getting more and more serious and at that point, we didn’t know how to tell people. We were afraid they wouldn’t support the relationship.”

Far….wonderful story. Glad you didn’t change it!
This was perfect, no re-write needed.. loved it as usual
haha.. awsome.
So glad you didn’t chuck the chapter. Loved it. Very well written as always.
What’s to rewrite. Its great, this story just keeps getting better. I love hearing the stories via Alice who definitly has all the juice. The way she talks to Dakota is so cute, and Dakota’s reactions are typical of any child when hearing things about there parents. Its also nice for us, cos even though we know the stories, we never get tired of them. Keep it up, and I can’t wait for the party and Dakota’s gift.
I too am glad you didn’t re-write it..It was great I love this story please continue and keep us all at the table..Wouldn’t life be great if we all could have a planet to go to every week…Post soon.
I’m glad you didn’t rewrite it – I like it a lot. Your chapters are always wonderfully written – even if you don’t believe so.
Thanks for taking us on this journey!
Hey fareast that’s was so Wonderful Story I Still Love it Keep going Post soon Thanks.
i love Dakota she is a great kid. great chapter
even though you doubted to post this one i am very pleased you did, because it shows so much the sweetness and humour of your characters. thanx.
what part of this needed rewriting??? So glad you posted it is perfect just the way it is…I’ll take more if you have it!!!
Fareast,
Fave line this time was “As long as I hear more stories, I’ll stick around.” Because that is exactly how I feel about this story. As long as you care to write it I will be here patiently waiting to consume it.
This latest incarnation of relating the events of their lives to Kody is a masterstroke and displays your fabulous talent and fantastic skills as an author.
Your self criticism is not warranted as I loved this chapter as much as any other. The stories continued your excellent standards and expressed you eloquence as always.
We are our own worst critics although please take it as heartfelt when I describe how much I truly enjoyed this installment.
You have crafted a rich and explicit universe where memory and recollection are the messengers for love, understanding, knowledge, hilarity, pathos and human emotions. Only by looking into the past can we change and improve the future.
Awaiting the subsequent exploit/escapade.
Your Loyal Fan.
why on earth would you want to rewrite something, so fun and heartfelt. please keep this up. its great.
You weren’t going to post this? Sacre bleu! Okay, I know what you mean, lol. But I’m glad you posted this. Dakota is such a great character, and you’ve interwoven her so skillfully with the rest of the characters. Love it.
Great chapter, very cute story just love it.
Absolutely perfect as it is!
I loved the bouncing back and forth between story telling and hanging out. Nice balance. They have such an easy going and casual relationship together – Alice is good for Dakota.
I think Dakota will eventually begin to see what she has in common with her parents and slowly begin to close the distance that she has created between them. I can see Dakota becoming a regular Saturday morning visitor.
Wonderful chapter.
i liked it just the way it was- perfection!
That wasAWESOME. No rewrite needed. This is such a great story. I can’t wait for the party. That could be a wholenew story.
aww so sweet is good to see Dakota more kind and gentle with her moms..great chapter as always thanks
