Dana offered a small smile, though her eyes were everywhere but on Alice.
“Dane. When I told Shane about going to therapy with you, she assumed
it was to ‘get back together.’ I told her the truth, that I’m not sure
I can risk losing you again. I’m here because I want you back. I’m here
with you for ‘us.’ Whatever form that takes, I need to know that there
will be an ‘us.’
“What about you?” Alice took Dana’s hands again. “What are you thinking about in there?”
Dana’s eyes continued their tour of Stella’s office. She took a moment before returning her gaze to Alice.
After another long moment, she hunched her shoulders up and asked, “Do
you really think we could be just friends, Alice?” The look she gave
Alice both broke her heart and stole it.
Alice’s mouth opened but no words came to her, tears stung her eyes. “Not fair, Dana,” she managed.
They looked intently at each other.
Dr. Rudnick shifted in her chair and made a small cough.
“Don’t worry. It often takes couples some time to open up and access issues.” A small smile played on her lips.
Though Alice and Dana both returned her smile, theirs were strained.
Stella smiled deeper, “Being able to talk about what you want from
this process is important. It may be that neither of you is exactly
sure what that is yet- but thinking about it and talking openly with
each other about what you want, what you need, and what you fear is all
pretty much the whole point of being here.
Watching the two of you interact with one and other gives me very
positive feelings about what you can gain from couples therapy. You are
both introspective people, able and trusting
enough to articulate your feelings. That will help us accomplish a great deal.
I can provide you with some direction, and maybe a little
cheerleading. You are both here because you’ve made a commitment to
talking to each other and trying to find a way to be together. It’s as
simple as that.
There are complex issues that will need to be explored: what
happened with Lara, Alice’s bi-sexuality, the stalking, all issues of
trust. It comes down to making a commitment to work thru it. Is everybody still on board?”

“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.
