“I did this morning, with what I said. I’m sorry, Dana. I hurt you when I treat you like some valuable antique instead of a person trying to move on and be healthy again. You do need that, Dana, and it’s nothing to be sorry for. And I’m really so proud of you and I know you need to move on from the cancer and start acting like yourself again…I just don’t know if I’m ready to let go of it all yet. And when I was out walking I was thinking that maybe we’re not right for each other right now.”
“Al, are you…please don’t leave me,” Dana begged, her lower lip trembling. Alice looked at her in confusion for a second, then hugged her.
“No, baby, I’m not breaking up with you! I meant it more in the sense that we’re not good for each other as we are, but like, we will be at some point, you know? Like, we just don’t mesh up right now and I’m asking you to be patient with me while I get my head on straight again,” Alice said.
“But I don’t want your head straight,” Dana protested with a hint of a smile.
“Good, because I don’t really want it that way either. But I think I might go stay with Helena for a few days, baby. My head’s just…not that great right now, you know? And I really want to get some distance to think about it.”
“Are you mad at me?” Dana asked.
“No, Dane. I’m mad at myself. But we’ll probably do more damage being together right now. I’ll go think and hang out with Helena, you stay here and work with Harrison and call the club and all that good stuff, okay? I need to get my head right, that’s all,” Alice comforted.
“Al, um…have you ever thought about maybe checking into a, uh…place that’d be able to deal with post-traumatic stress? I mean, it seems like it gets better for while, and them something really little happens and it’s like it’s worse than before, you know? I want you to get better, Al…”
“I can take care of it, Dana. I don’t need a hospital.” Alice said it in a cold voice void of compromise.

OMG, the return of the white oxford, YAY!!! I am glad to see Dana voicing her wants to Alice. Too bad Alice is still treating her like a victim, rather than a survivor. I’m sure they will work through it though. And there’s nothing like defacing a billboard to bring everyone together, haha!
“Socks decided to tag along, and jumped out of her cat bed to walk directly under Alice’s feet down the hallway.” I can’t stop grinning and love that Socks. On a more serious note, I totally comprehend the fear and concern A had. D was right about seeking help. Unfortunately A was forever so stubborn fixing things her own way. I hope she would change her mind going to stay with H for a few days, instead go seek professional help. I do agree that a short separation would do them some good. D also needed work on her anger and not explode like that each time they ran into a problem. I enjoyed the billboard scene with AlShaDane supporting each other. Thanks MT for another well written chapter which by the way make whole lot of sense.
Excellent chapter, MT! My poor girls… I can see both viewpoints. Dana must feel more alive than she has since leaving the hospital now that she has the possibility of getting back into tennis in some form. It must really hurt to have that negated by Alice’s treatment of her. That being said, she shouldn’t have lit into Alice like she did. Alice has a right to be concerned — especially the day after Dana was so exhausted. I am anxiously waiting to see where you take this. I know they are in good hands. Oh, and the sex? Hot! I hope the oxford makes frequent appearances. Thanks for the update!
Again, you have surpassed yourself with a great chapter. just hope that Alice can get through this feeling and get back to her wonderful self. Loved the billboard!! PPS.
great chap muted!! i enjoyed the drama so entertaining…..i feel like dana is being a little selfish rite now poor al but thats me pps!!!!! can’t get enough :)
Once again a late response, sorry ’bout that. Great chapter. I’m a little torn on whose side I should be. I understand both Dana and Alice. I get each of their argumentations, but I think after this chapter I understand Dana’s point a bit more. Can’t wait for the next chapter!b. ps.: Socks is cute!
I really hope they can get through this, which I am sure they will! I know we need Angst, but I also love happy Danish too! Thank You for the update! Great Stuff!
I really loved this chapter. It’s unrealistic to think that if Dana had survived things would have been blissfully happy with no complications. You have created a story which allows us to see them as real people in the real world struggling with the difficult issues in their way…I love it and want more!!!
