A/N This is sort of set up as a diary entry, written by Alice in the future. I was going to write it as a letter but I just got confused by the way I was writing. Big thanx to Cloloveswah and to Elliewelly1. To Cloloveswah for giving me chance to write this as she had the idea first, and to Elliewelly1 for telling me about that so it wasn't identical to cloloveswah. Please enjoy. Thanx to all my reviewers too. You guys r great x
From here on in it's Alice's POV until much later. Also there's no Charlotte, I changed it slightly.
Where do I start? I wonder. Best to start at the beginning I suppose, even though he didn't even know I was alive. The only woman he had eyes for was Sarah. Which of course was the way it should have been! Didn't mean I had to like it though. Did I love Danny from the beginning? Who knows I honestly don't! All I know was that it wasn't like a bolt of lightning like they say it some book. Nope, it was slow, gradual. It was like he knew how to make me fall for him and tricked me into it. One minute I'm fine the next it's like I've got a sucker punch to the jaw and I'm sprawled in the mud. That's how it felt, the shock, the freefalling effect. God I can wax lyrical today! I know that feeling that way about him was wrong, he's married for God's sake! and some of the stuff I said, especially when I argued with Sarah was wrong I tried to fight my feelings, so hard but his green eyes and soft smile, so warm so welcoming. He was just irresistible. The men in my life weren't always so great, I just seemed to pick the wrong one's, the married ones, the weirdos or the plain clingy ones. This time though I was gonna do it right! Or so I thought, I go and fall for a married man again. I knew it was gonna end in tears, and I don't mean he'll be crying nope it's always me whose left with the broken heart! I really hadn't on planning on falling for him, or being a home wrecker either, not that I was one I just felt like it!
Ok then let's begin. I'd been on the phone with Fatani, they needed a full time vet at Mara Lodge. I'd applied just as a spur of the moment thing, never really believing they'd even reply but I'd been overjoyed when they rang me and said not only did they like my application but they wanted me as there vet, ME! WOW. He'd also told me about the vet at the neighbouring place, Leopards Den. Fatani had made Danny sound like a old school vet, not open to change. Not that I agreed with some new practises like green hunting and things but Fatani had made Danny sound like he came from the stone age, using sharp stones instead of scalpels. How wrong was he! How wrong were we both!
