Work to Do Chapter 15
“I told her how sorry I was for blaming her when I left the relationship.”
Stella sat up. “Sounds like that was quite a breakfast.”
“I’m not sure what fucked it up,” Alice told her.
“I obviously didn’t say what she needed to hear.”
“What do you think she needed to hear?”
“That we’re back in a relationship? I think she wanted to know if I considered myself ‘taken’. If she was ‘taken.’
“Do you think that’s an unreasonable question?”
“No. Of course not but maybe premature?”
Stella stared at her, exasperated.
“Alice. You’re in couple’s therapy with this woman. You wondered this
morning if you’d broken up. How is it premature for her to want to know
if you’re together?” As Stella was speaking she knew she was saying too
much. Frustrated, she had spoken before she could edit.
Alice looked at her startled for a moment.
Stella looked chagrined as she pursed her lips.
Alice smiled finally. “So I’m thinking you have an opinion?”
Stella half smiled. “You are a very bright woman Alice. I’m more interested in yours.”
“Meaning?”
Having blown her professional restraint already Stella took the gloves off:
“In this room over several sessions, both with Dana present and on your
own you have conveyed that you are in love with her. That she is the
primary relationship in your life. You told me you could watch grass
grow with her and enjoy it. That’s she loyal and has your complete
trust.”
Alice listened, wondering where Dr. Rudnick was going with this.
“It would appear that you both have a strong sexual attraction for the other based on simple observation and various stories”
Alice was getting mad.
“What’s your point?”
“Well that’s kind of what I’m wonderingwhat is your point? I think you hide behind semantics, Alice.
” If you’re not trying to be with Dana, what are you doing here?”
Alice faltered, stunned by the therapist’s frankness.
“My issues have nothing to do with Dana”, Alice stammered, once she found her voice.
“Alice. They have everything to do with Dana. Your past experiences
affect both of you and I think you understand that. What I don’t
understand is why you seem so stubborn about acknowledging it?”
“Of course you’re with Dana. You have been since you let her start
sleeping on your couch. You knew it and I knew it. What I don’t
understand is why you won’t let Dana in on the secret?”

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!
