“Oh, yeah I know Denise she delivers my morning paper.”

“Well, that’s not all she’s delivering.”

“Helena!”

“What Kit a girl has needs one morning after her route she appeared at my house and put in some overtime if you know what I mean and mentioned when she delivered your paper she saw someone resembling Dana open the front door picking up the paper off the front porch. When she described her I put two and two together and figured it was Dana.”

“Why is she staying with you and not Lara?”

“Let’s just say things between her and Lara aren’t so good right now, “Tina says.

“Does it have anything to do with Alice?”

No, “Bette says staring at their table, “But I have a strange feeling it eventually could be.”

Alice and Danas table…..

“Lara has a very successful restaurant in London and she was presented with the opportunity to expand her brand by opening up another location here in Los Angeles.”

“That’s great! You both must be really excited you are supporting her dream and that’s fantastic!”

“Yeah well lately it feels like the more I support her the more we as a couple have become less than a priority.”

“Oh, wow I’m sorry Dane, I don’t think she is doing it on purpose she loves you.”

“I know she is busy trust me I get it but the one thing I wanted to do together she assured me she would be at my side and at the last minute she backed out on me leaving me solo.”

“If you don’t mind me asking what was the thing that was so important?”

“Bettes gala, she knew all along she wasn’t going to be able to attend but didn’t tell me until the day before.”

“Did you see tell you why?”

“Yup, she had to work, “she says taking the last bite of her corn dog then wiping her mouth.

“Dana, I really am sorry things will get better you guys just need to talk.”

“Yeah, that’s what she said I’m just not ready too.” Listening to Dana talk about her relationship that bad feeling that seemed to wash over her suddenly appeared. Dana felt neglected by Lara which presented a legitimate excuse for the strain between them, but her situation with Tasha was quite the opposite. Tasha hadn’t neglected her in fact she had called and text every day since she left for Virginia wanting to know how her day went, how she was feeling, to say good morning or good night, or to simply say I love you. She even sent her a bouquet of flowers at work, Tasha hadn’t been the issue it had been her and judging from their last conversation she had suspected something was wrong. The strange thing was since her and Dana rekindled their friendship at the gala they had been taking on the phone and texting non-stop. In fact the night before going to the fair, they had stayed up until 2 a.am. talking. During that time she received a text from Tasha saying goodnight and that she loved her………she never responded back. How she was treating her she knew it wasn’t right but she couldn’t understand why. In hearing Dana talk she was left with the following conclusion she was no better than Lara, if not worse.
