Do you get it yet? I dont want anything else. I want you.
I want to get it. Really I do. Im just not buying it. Not her sincerity, because Dana doesnt have an insincere bone in here, but if shes thought about it enough to really know that answer.
I know you believe that. But how do you know? I mean Ive had a bunch of relationships. Good and bad. You havent had a lot. Arent you afraid that one day youre going to look at me and think why did I jump into this so fast?
She actually laughed at that. Im not sure whats so funny. Fast? Alice, weve known each other for years. Ive been attracted to you from the first time I saw you. Fast? No, I look at you and wonder how I got lucky enough that the person who knows me best, who knows the best and worst there is to me, loves me.
I almost believe her. She makes it seem so easy. I want to believe you Dana. Im just scared that this is going to blow up at us.
Then lean on me and when you have doubts, use my faith. Alice, youre right, Ive never had another real relationship. Lara doesnt count, I mean, not really, I didnt let it last long enough to see what would happen. But maybe I got lucky my first time around. Isnt that a good thing?
She can be so nave. But I love her for it. Im telling you, this Lara thing is going to come back and bite us in the *****. Notice that she didnt answer me about her. She didnt tell me what she feels about her. But Im done trying to talk about this. I want to remember those words she just said, with nothing bad attached to them. I dont know if I will ever have that much pure, unadulterated love spoken about me again in my life. Its never happened before, so Im not going to hold my breath on the future. People tend to get over the novelty of me pretty easily.

We got to Bette and Tinas ten minutes late. Bette wasnt going to let me forget it either. She still wasnt over the fact that I showed up late for lunch. Plus we have one of those relationships where we can just annoy the ***** out of each other, but still like each other. Its kind of cool. I think it comes form the Hey, I used to sleep with you thing. But it works for us.

I know I already told you this but it can’t be said enough. Nobody writes Alice better than you, I would gladly take your version of Danish over the one on TV. You have just made my day.
There was a lot that I liked about this chapter, but I’m just going to comment on the three I loved best.
1. in the recap from the last chapter with the Alice POV of how people get over the novelty of her quickly. Aw.
2. The Dana being more touchy feely than usual. Yes! So spot-on. Dana is the less touchy-feely person whereas Alice IS more tactile. I loved that
3. “You gave that back to me” and that entire discussion on Dana’s childhood home lacking warmth and Alice’s insecurities about her ability to be a good mother.
There was more, and I’ll probably go back and comment more on that, but eh, this is it for now. And thanks for the comment in my journal!
Sulkygeek – thank you – and I so stole the Bette in dirty clothes from you – but I loved it and had to use it. Sorry!
I feel like I’m reading Alice’s journal right now…the way that way you portray Alice is perfect. Her words, thoughts, insecurities, strengths, actions–it’s absolutely Alice.
My favorite line is, “I wish you could see yourself through my eyes for just a minute. You’d never doubt yourself again.” I’ve always thought that to be true in life. Possibly the best portrayal of Danish–Showtime should hire you. Post soon!!
I love this story. I look forward to your updates. How I wish we would see something similar to this in S3 (never hurts to wish, even though the other writers have me liking the Helacious!). Thanks for giving us a version of Danish without the spoiler issues. Great writing.
you are the best fanfic writer of all time – please post soon. and drowning too. i am addicted to your stories.
I couldnt stay away any longer, I had to read this chapter! This story is so much fun, I love Alice’s thoughts. “She’s handy that way.” For some reason that one had me cracking up lol.
“dana doesn’t need any glasses.” No but you know she’d look hot in them. :P
You never disappoint me, ever in angs chapters. For my happiness this is not the case, beautiful. Thanks. And I agree people do dumb things a lot, but I need to believe in the humanity :P, that is called utopia and I know IC doesn’t know it, but for that exist the fanfiction.
Loved it, especially Dana’s speech at the end.
love the way you ended the chapter with alice accepting dana’s love and how dana is there just innocently loving her. dang insecurities. thanks for sharing the song too, it’s really nice. you’re doing great and this is one of the stories i really look forward to reading updates on. love it!
Wow, lucia, I thought you couldn’t better the last chapter, but you did! The way you write Alice’s POV is awesome, so apprehensive and cutting. It’s really well-observed and beautifully written. Thanks for posting.
