Alex did her best to hide her disappointment. She refilled her Pinot
and sat back as well. “Okay then, ‘pal’, maybe
now you can tell me why Dana was hiding in your apartment the last time
I was here.”
Alice laughed, shaking her head, “I can’t. I have no clue. Dana just
does odd things sometimes.” Pausing Alice looked at her new friend.
“Thank you Alex,” she said softly.
‘”You’re welcome. I feel better knowing where we stand,” Alex assured her and it was true. She exhaled and relaxed a little.
“So the night she hid in the kitchen?” Alex prodded. Alice rolled her eyes, making Alex laugh.
“You told me that she was having some problems and that you let
her stay here. What did you mean by that? Does she stay here a lot?”
Alice thought a bit. It was a welcome relief to be able to talk to someone about this.
“She was having incredible insomnia. The first time it happened
she showed up here at dawn looking like a zombie. She hadn’t been to
sleep in a while and she pretty much just asked if she could take a
nap.”
Alex knit her eyebrows, “What was going on with you two then?”
“Not much,” Alice laughed without humor, “Our relationship ended
pretty ugly and for the most part we weren’t even talking.”
“And she came over and asked if she could spend the night?” Alex asked, her eyes widening.
“Thank you. It was strange,” Alice shrugged.
“But you let her stay,” Alex reminded her gently.
“I was worried about her,” Alice defended.
“I should probably begin by telling you that Dana and I were best
friends for seven years before we got together as lovers.”
Alexandra raised her eyebrows. Alice raised hers back.
“Breaking up with Dana was extremely painful, like nothing I’ve
had to experience before, but what I’ve mourned the most is my best
friend. I miss her.” Alice bowed. “Anyway, it was my friend that I let
stay here,” she concluded looking over at Alex for her reaction.
“Seven years, Alice.” She gave her a soft pat on her knee. “So what did she say? Why does she sleep here?”
Alice sighed. “So dysfunctional,” she shook her head.
The architect stared at Alice, her eyes narrowing. “You guys haven’t talked about it?” she sputtered.

This time I made super sure I logged in as myself before I post a comment lol. Very well done. A few thing that stood out for me :
– Alice believing that Dana is
angry at her really tugged at my heart
– The therapist visit made me laugh and
feel sad at the time.
– Dana goofing while attempting to be serious around was so in character.
– If Alice goes back to Dana, can I have Alex?
here is a report by detective starlai
1. cap is a computer idiot and layla is such a good friend, so layla posts the stories for cap everytime
2. cap is lazy, so she just asked layla to post it after she beta the story
3. cap and layla are living together for whatever reasons, so they use the same computer
4. cap and layla are actually the same person who suffer from multi personality disorder
conclusion: no matter what is the truth, they/she are/is excellent writer(s)!
You are my new favorite Danish writer–I’ve always read your posts on the msg boards and was really happy to see you post a story because you’ve always come across as wonderfully articulate…this story is great and I like how you are revealing the deeper layers and emotions to Dana. I know that I’ve at times found it hard to decipher Dana’s layers, but you do it so well. Keep up the great writing and post again soon!
Lol, starlai. I go with no.4
But I definatley agree with your conclusion! Cape, you’ve got it spot on with the characters! Who needs to watch S3!? I’ve resorted to reading The L word, now! Looking forward to your next chapter!
good job cape! or should i extend this to layla too?! lol… who is who now??
good report starlai.. anyway, don’t keep us waiting too long.. post soon cape / layla lol
I think that alice is playing off the fact that she thinks that dana might still been in love with her and dana is seeing a therapist because she is hiding her feelings for alice but at the same time that is what alice is doing without really knowing it but I do hope that they can find a way back to eachother where they belong I love this story plaese post soon
love how you show that Dana hides her feelings but then allows them to come out by shadowing them with other insights…interesting. Sorry I think I just confused myself..lol..anyway. It’s always good to have someone to help you sort things out and talk to…if only they could talk to each other. Hmm…we’ll just have to wait and see….loving it!!
I am still completely enjoing your story, but I have one question.
How can we be sure that layla_gray is indeed the real layla_gray? Could it be capesquad in disguise? Are there distinguishing features? I’m so confused! lol Please excuse my silliness. Keep up the good work!
Excellent report detective starlai
