Work to Do Chapter 7
“Yeah. I went over there to spend the night and it came up,” Dana explained.
“Excuse me?”
Shane’s startled look reminded Dana they had been keeping her insomnia episodes low key.
“Great,” Dana thought, hanging her head.
“You spent the night there?”
“On her couch,” Dana stressed, confusing Shane more.
Shane reviewed, “That’s three times I know about that you have spent the night at each other’s place in the last month.
Alice told me that she’s going to go to couples counseling with you,” she added. “But you aren’t getting back together?” Shane was mystified.
Dana’s face fell. “Did Alice say that?” she asked. “Did she say we wouldn’t get back together?”
“No!” Now it was Shane’s turn to hang her head. “*****. No Dane, she didn’t. She just said. Look, she isn’t sure what kind of relationship you guys will be able to have. That’s why you are talking to someone, right?”
Dana looked at Shane with narrowed eyes, trying to decipher if she was protecting Alice or Dana or both.
“She only wants to be friends, right?” she asked Shane pointedly.
Shane grimaced, angry with herself for getting involved, however innocently.
“Dana, you two should be having this discussion. Anyway, what Alice
wants and what she believes is possible may be two different things.”
“I think it’s really great you are both working so hard to figure this
all out.” Shane massaged Dana’s shoulder as she spoke, watching Dana’s
eyes to see if she was hearing her.
Shane thought to herself that it would be very interesting to be a fly on the wall in that therapist’s office.

Stella Rudnick’s Office
“Alice Piezecki, to see Dr. Rudnick,” Alice announced herself confidently. She tried not to squirm.
A cheerfully distracted receptionist showed Alice into a large office
decorated more like a living room. Stella Rudnick was waiting for her.
“Hello Alice, it’s lovely to meet you.” Dr. Rudnick greeted her.
She shook her hand and indicated she should have a seat. Alice took in
the handsome, older woman approvingly. She smirked at
the couch along the wall and opted for the chair Dana always
chose. Dr. Rudnick took the armchair opposite her.
“I appreciate you coming in ahead of our visit with Dana on Thursday,”
the doctor thanked her again. “I thought it would be productive and
perhaps more comfortable for you, to gain some background from your
perspective?”

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
