“We have,” Alice’s voice got small, in a ‘not really’ sort of way.
Alex continued to stare, unconvinced. Waiting for Alice to explain.
“We have talked about it. It’s just that Dana can be incredibly
vague when it’s easier to be. as can I,” she admitted slowly. “She
hasn’t really spelled it out for me. I’m not sure she is crystal clear
herself.”
Alex sat quietly, watching Alice. After a short period the blonde
looked over at her with sad eyes. “Anyway, I’m pretty sure I understand
why she needs to come over like this.”
Alex gave her a ‘go on’ look.
“For the record, I don’t think Dana knows this- so you’ll be the first,’ the blonde tried to joke.
Alex didn’t laugh.
“Okay, Dana’s biggest problem, what it boils down to for her is.
she’s still really, really angry with me for things I did both before
we broke up and afterwards.
“I think she wants to see me. I think she really wants to spend
time with me. But either she doesn’t want to or can’t, forgive me. So
she comes and she sleeps. ” Alice rolled her head back and looked up at
her ceiling.
“Alice.” Alex whispered. “That must kill you.”
Alice smiled at the ceiling. “Yep.”
MELROSE AVE, WEST HOLLYHOOD
The next day
Dana waited outside Stella Rudnick’s office for 11 am to arrive. Bad
enough she was in ‘couples therapy,’ alone, she refused to sit in the
waiting room and advertise it.
The tennis player had chosen a couple’s therapist because there was
only one relationship she wanted to talk about. So many of the issues
and questions she needed to address either centered on Alice or were
affected by her. Dana wanted to make sure not to hire a therapist who
insisted on starting with her childhood.
“Hello Dana. How was your week,” Dr. Rudnick inquired gently.
Dana grimaced. She liked the doctor quite a bit but she dreaded her
kindness sometimes. It made her feel so vulnerable. A perception,
unfortunately, her therapist seemed to share about her.
“It was great,” she assured her, nodding emphatically.
“What was great about it?” Dr. Rudnick smiled.
“Oh. You wanted specifics?” Dana joked lamely. She winced. She’d been
determined to come in here this week and not joke around. It was clear
Dr. Rudnick thought she hid behind humor, which annoyed her because
that was one of the things Alice did that caused them problems.

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
