    Author Notes:

    Alice confronts the past with Dana at her side; Tina suggests a strategy to Bette for dealing with the TA; Shane gets an unexpected diagnosis; and Helena gets over herself when Lara gets a call from her estranged sister.

    She relaxed her grip and consciously directed her attention from the railing to the spot on the floor where she reckoned she’d come to that shattering halt. She closed her eyes and rested her head on Dana’s shoulder as she tried again to remember what happened, but had trouble distinguishing between the flashes of her actual memory, what everyone had told her they remembered and the excruciating detail of the recurring dream she’d had for months after of the fall itself.

    “I need to go up there,” Al said without opening her eyes.

    Lara took a rare day off, anxious to spend some time with Helena. The distance between them was palpable, although for Lara it came out of the blue. She wasn’t sure what to do to make Helena realize that she hadn’t meant to take her, or the children, for granted. The truth was she wasn’t entirely certain that she had, although she thought that, from Helena’s perspective, it must seem that way. Helena’s assistant assured Lara for the third time in 24 hours that she didn’t have a lunch booked while she finished packing up the picnic she’d spent the morning preparing. When the phone rang thirty seconds later, Lara answered without checking to see who it was.

    “Don’t tell me something came up,” she laughed into the phone.

    “Uh, I’m looking for Lara Perkins,” The tone was formal and impersonal. 

    “Speaking,” Lara answered quickly. She couldn’t quite place the voice. “I thought this was someone else. How may I help you?”

    “Lara, this is Lindsay.” Lara waited for the caller to continue in stunned silence. “Mother has asked me to inform you that Aunt Charlotte is gravely ill. Apparently she is asking to see you.”

    ”What’s happened?”

    “Advanced leukemia. She’s chosen hospice care at home. There isn’t much time. Will you come?”

    “Of course.” Lara wanted to ask her sister how she was doing and how her mom and dad were, but was too shocked to get the words out.

    “Aunt Charlotte will be relieved to hear that. And Lara?”

    “Yes?”

    “The courtesy of a call before you arrive at the house would be appreciated.”

    The phone went dead. Lara stared at the phone in disbelief. Twelve years. Without so much as a holiday card. And now this. An ever so civil, painfully concise, communication.

    1. OK first off this was the best chapter so far Sammy!!!! I Loved it,u write so freaking awesome and alls I can say Is Awww. Im pissed at Laras Family for being such Assholes! GAWD! And im proud at Shane for going to see Someone for her problems! Im VERY proud of Alice for going through that place and reliving that nightmare,And then Dana being so loving and careing (God u rock Sammy) The sex was Fucking AWEsome,u say i rock,not by a long shot,U ROCK~ Thanks and PPS

    2. Where oh where to begin. Helena’s insecurity is palpable and I am glad that Lara caught on. I feel so terrible for Lara having to deal with her family. I hope Helena takes care of her. The Alice and Dana was amazingly written pain, terror, reconciliation, and finally LOVE! Living with some who is clinically depressed let’s you see things in people and I wondered if that may be a route you were taking with Shane. It is mind numbingly terrifying and for friends and family it is confusing and painful. I hope with the groups continued love and support Shane will find her way through.

    3. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I am so proud of Alice and Dana to make it through going to that hotel. The support they show each other is really touching. Lora and Helena are killing me. I hope they don’t end up throwing what they have away. I am a bit concerned about Bette. I know Tina has faith in her (and so do I) but she does need to be carefully that she doesn’t impact her job in any way. I’m glad Shane has been diagnosed. I hope she will follow doctor’s orders — and tell her friends about it so they can help support her. Alice’s explosion of anger and tears was so real. She never really did have a chance to process those feelings. Could Dana have been any sweeter or supportive? And the NC-17 at the end? Excellent! I think Alice needed that after the day she had to reaffirm life. I simply love your writing. Every sentence is a thing of beauty. Thank you so much for this amazing story!!

    4. After a chapter like that, the only one doing any bar-setting here is you! You proved my point again, this installment is better than all the previous. Alice’s breakdown and the support Dana gave her during and afterwards were brilliant. Shane’s diagnosis wasn’t entirely surprising, and I’m glad she has such good friends to help her through. Lara’s family sounds a lot like mine. I feel so bad for her, but just as bad for Helena being so insecure. I hope Bette and Tina are able to overcome the slutty TA’s plans. And don’t worry, there won’t be any scrolling from me…unless of course I absolutely have to in order to keep reading.

    9. hiya,I’m kind of very late into this, since I was out of town for a while, but being able to read this with all the updates made it that more better! Fantastic story, great quality as always. Great to see Danish becoming parents soon. I also love the storyline about Lara and Helena. Hope Lara’s family is not going to be too bad to her. Can’t wait for the next update! :)

    10. Its always a pleasure reading your stories mama b. You know, its even better when I’m not doing a horrible job proofing for you. But you always have my back, even when I’m trying to have yours you had mine…its safe to say that when backs are being had you’ll always have the final back in the back having process. Also I must give kudos on you portrayal of Alice’s feelings at the hotel it really pulled me in and kept me. I’ve read it three times and it still really grips me. Also the sex was hot hot hot very smooth transitions on that ankle move, Dana’s no slouch in the sack apparently. I can’t wait for the next chapter and for the AlShaDane conversation. PPS Luv Lil’Cubz
