“Hi Dr. Rudnick,” Dana said again, taking the couch as Alice was in her customary seat. The chairs and couch formed a circle.
“You haven’t missed a thing Dana. We were still just saying hello when you arrived,” the doctor assured her.
Dr. Rudnick wondered if the undercurrent she felt was simple shared
nervousness about their first session, or if something had happened
recently. Dana had never once been late to an appointment and Alice was
obviously jumpy about something.
“Is there something we should address? You both seem a bit anxious,”
she asked, deciding to put it out there. She glanced at Dana, while
sipping her water.
“Did you have a topic in mind?” Dana inquired.
“Dana.” Alice sighed. ‘Come on.”
“Come on, what, Al?” Dana asked, “Do you think it’s a mistake?”
Alice looked at her blankly.
“Going to therapy together?” Dana asked her.
“Do you?” Alice responded, surprised.
Dana didn’t answer her.
“I asked if I could come didn’t I?” Alice pointed out.
“Yeah, you did. But why? Why are coming with me?”
Alice held Dana’s gaze.
“This is about Shane isn’t it?” Alice confirmed.
“Dana? Is this about what I said to Shane?”
Dana looked at her, expressionless.
“Is what about Shane? I’m not upset Al.” Dana assured her, her voice flat.
“Dane.” Alice groaned. “Look at me. Dana,” Alice moved over next to
Dana on the couch. She reached over and held both of Dana’s hands in
hers.
“Dana, she misunderstood what I was saying, or she didn’t explain it right,” Alice insisted.
Dana gently removed her hands from Alice’s and looked at her skeptically.
“Alice, it’s okay. I go back and forth about us,” Dana admitted
quietly. “I just I was surprised to hear you’d already made up your
mind.”
Alice’s throat ached. She was frightened. She felt like the wrong words could lose Dana.
“Dana. I love you. I will always love you. I’m just not sure what form
that should take for us. I want us to get help figuring that out. I
have not already made up my mind.
I haven’t Dana. But I don’t want to feel that pain again and I don’t
want to hurt you again. And mostly, I don’t want to lose you.”
“Dana, do you have any idea how grateful I am to you for choosing a
‘couples’ therapist? What that said to me?” Alice watched to see if she
was listening.

“Would you like a kiss good night?” – Yes I do! LOL you’re an evil tease too. I love the famillarity they shared in the last scene, going about their nightly routine together without a
second thought. It’s so intimate and clearly shows the connection they shared despite the situation.
Another great chapter. Still waiting for the wild sex scene. Seriously though, loved the theraphy session and the nightly routine.
Layla Gray is right – such a tease! :-) Your chapter was definitely worth delaying my viewing of DH. I liked how they were able to talk to each other at the doctor’s office as though she weren’t there. I can’t wait to see how Dana and Alice proceed. Thank God for fanfiction. lol
Loved the way you depict Alice and Dana’s interactions with each other. Lookin forward to your next chapter. Thanks for the great writing!!!
I am one of your biggest fan Cape, this is one of my favorite story. Please post soon and hey? Check your PMs :) Both in l-word and MB
Thanks God for Mondays (never thought I would write that)! Really loving your story – you write pain and love so easily – Fantabulous!!!
I feel cheated. You lured me in here with the promise of a wild sex scene. Hmph! *sticks tongue out*
Okay, it was worth it anyway. Another great chapter. Looking forward to the next one. Oh, by the way, a wild sex scene would still be nice… =)
I am glad to see that they both want to see where they will end up even if it is as friends or lovers can’t wait to find out so please post soon I love it
I have to get up earlier on Mondays now since I know that you and layla will have both posted then (and I’m still suspicious about that). Anyway, I would obviously make a terrible couples therapist as all I could think of when Alice slid down the wall was the promise that “wild sex scenes ensue” . . . ! And since I always tell you what my favourite line was, I think this week it’s, “The look she gave Alice both broke her heart and stole it”. Ah, you’ll turn me into a romantic yet! Nice chapter.
