“Someone, Dana?” Dr. Rudnick tried to keep her amusement out of her voice.
“Alice,” Dana clarified, feeling foolish.
“I think Alice would add a lot to the discussion,” the doctor agreed.
“Is this something you see as ongoing? Alice joining our sessions?”
“We didn’t get into the details. She just said she’d like to come with me and I’d like her to start coming,” Dana replied.
“I’m sure that will work itself out. I would
like to schedule an appointment to meet with her privately before our
session all together if that could work? I think she may feel a little
more comfortable, a little less ‘double-teamed’, if she’s met me.”
Dana agreed that made sense and told Dr. Rudnick she’d have Alice call
to make an appointment. After hanging up, she did just that leaving
Alice a brief message about the preliminary visit and the office number.

Later that afternoon at the Planet
Dana walked into the caf and scanned the restaurant for Shane. She’d
seen the hairdresser’s truck parked outside and decided to come join
her. Shane caught her eye, waving her over.
“Hey Dana,” she stood up and hugged her. Dana grinned foolishly, returning the hug.
“I saw your truck,” she explained.
It was so wonderful to be able to just walk into the Planet and not
worry about her welcome or making anyone else uncomfortable. The simple
pleasure of just grabbing a quick cup of coffee with a friend was
returning and she couldn’t imagine ever taking it for granted again.
In the months she and Alice didn’t speak their friends took great pains
to stay neutral and keep them both included in the family. Dana’s
absences were self imposed but she’d been starving for encounters like
this one with Shane.
“You just missed Carmen,” Shane told her, pulling out a chair. Dana sat down still smiling.
“You look a little more cheerful than the other day,” Shane noted.
Dana recalled the scene a couple days before when Alice had embarrassed
her about seeing Stella. “I’m sorry about that,” she apologized to
Shane.
“Don’t be! Dane. I’m just happy you seemnot upset,” Shane offered.
“We’re trying,” Dana shrugged, shaking her head. “I ended up going over
there that night, we talked about it a bit.” she disclosed.
“You did?” Shane was surprised. Alice hadn’t mentioned that at Milk when they talked about Dana and her going to counseling.

LOL Shane getting involved unwittingly was a joy to watch. My personal favorite scene in this chapter was Alice opening up to Stella and her little jokes. I love it that we’re getting some insights into Alice’s behaivour.
hahah ‘have fun watching grass grow’, loved that line! This is great stuff!! keep up the great work!
I love it. Each scene was great. Funny and poignant. And I would pay (more than my cable TV fee) to watch the scene with Alice and the shrink!
That was great!! I loved the conversation between Shane and Dana, both oblivious to what they said. But Awkward Alice definately stole my heart, with the shrink. Post soon! I’m almost becoming teary eyed, the fact that you considering writing a *sniff* Betty fic. I knew you had a thing for EZGirl…next week, we’ll work on Amy Ziff ;)
This is cute. I, too, loved the “have fun watching grass grow” line. I can’t wait to see where what’s going to happen next, so post soon…or else. :) Okay, how about post soon, please? :)
Well me too, but I hope a good storyline (maybe i’m a dork, lol). Thanks for this.
great job cape! very well written for each character.. post soon
Didn’t comment on you last chapter, and I should have so I’m going to comment on both here. I LOVE THIS STORY. Tell me about your mother I can’t wait to read your spin on that. I love that Im not the only one who can see them sleeping together and not sleeping together. Though I have a feeling yours is about to change. Love Shane in this story, love everything. Can’t wait for the next chapter. I’ll try to do better about posting comments. Just know even if I’m slow about posting I really, really, really do love this story.
