Setting the photo down, Stella turned her attention back to the blonde.
“How did you get the idea for your Chart, Alice? When did you first start drawing it, making the ‘connections’?”
Alice shook her head. “I’ve been drawing one version or another of it
since I was a kid. It started as a joke. My brother Nelson and I were
trying to figure out how many ‘Uncles’ our mother had brought home. I
ended up making this diagram and” Alice’s voice trailed off.
She looked at the therapist.
“Yeah I can see where we’re going with this.”
Alice shook her head in wonderment. “Ya know sometimes this process can be humiliating.”
Stella didn’t smile. “You drew the chart with your brother to
illustrate all the people who passed thru your lives and left. Some
people who were important at one time?”
“Till the next ‘Uncle’ came along,” Alice finished for her, flatly.
Alice was quiet for a moment, remembering her mother’s reaction when
she’d discovered the poster they made. Alice and Nelson had expanded on
her first effort using poster board and photographs they’d cut and
pasted from the various gossip magazines.
Placed in the center, Lenore’s photo was the largest. They had chosen a
rather unflattering picture of her leaving an LA club, clearly
intoxicated.
From that photograph, lines radiated out like a starburst to pictures
of her with her escort of the moment. There were many. Some were well
known, others remembered only by Alice and her siblings.
“What is this?” Lenore had scowled. She focused on the center shot.
“That photographer was terrible. He was jealous because he hadn’t been
allowed inside the party. It was a private affair. He waited till I
slipped to take that picture,” she told them.
Giving the diagram and her children one more dismissive look, she left them and went upstairs.
The implications of the memory settled over Alice.
Dr. Rudnick’s voice reached her.
“Alice, you’ve talked previously about time being an issue for you. You
said you didn’t want to spend a great deal of time rehashing your life
prior to your relationship with Dana?”
Alice acknowledged this with a nod, warily. She wondered if the doctor was about to recommend complete psychoanalyses.
“I’d like to try something with you think of it as the therapy equivalent to ‘speed dating’.

I love Dr. Stella, why can’t she be on the show to help out Alice? Oh yeah, she can’t be on the show cause she makes sense. And Drunken Dana, there are no ways to express my glee at that scene! Great update!
Oh Capesquad, how am I going to last a week without knowing what happens next? How did you develop such amazing insight into Alice?
I agree totally with you really knowing what is going on in Alice’s head. I like the explaination of the chart. I can’t wait to see where you go with this. Great update.
Thanks to you, cape, I’m not afraid of watching the stalking Alice now… can you also make sense to the cheating Dane story line?
Please post soon…I can’t wait a week.
I think in such situations, it’s all about you and you alone. Dana can be a trigger, but staying away from her will not solve Alice’s insecurities. Only, they remain hidden and silent but they stay. Beautifully written as always and the inner journey into Alice’s life, heart and past is heart breaking. Thanks a million times – and even more thanks for deciding to post in such a Danish-depressing day.
I’m sure that was slander against Lenore somehow! It must be against all the rules, but I’d love to see Lenore and Alice with Dr Stella . . . I like the outspoken Dr Stella in this update. And dancing Dana of course. I’m staying with your version of S3.
I know I’m late in commenting but I am loving this story more and more with each chapter. Wonderful job.
I love the way stella alway put her points a cross about what she thinks is going on with alice and dana I love it so please post soon so I can see what will happen next with alice and dana
Dr. Stella is baadass. I wouldn’t mind having a seesion with her. I also liked where the idea of the chart originated from. Also since starlai’s requesting, what do you make of the ‘cancer’ storyline and Dana going bald? Please tell me it was an act of revenge brought on by Lara pulling a Lucy, but instead of the torture, she shaved Dana’s head off for dumping her and for riding off into the sunset with Alice? That way, there is no cancer to speak of. Nice update!
