    Ten Degrees of Separation – (Chapter: Recasting the Primal Scene)

    "I’d say Kerry would agree with you." Luka nodded with his chin at the admit desk, where Kim and Kerry stood talking. A consult of some sort, Abby guessed, from the way Kim was gesticulating broadly with the chart in her hand.

     

    "We didn’t discuss Kerry," she replied quickly. Too quickly, she realized, watching the quirk of his brows.

     

    "No?"

     

    "No." Not until this morning– when the single, heartbroken catch in Kim’s throat as she tried to say her ex-lover’s name told Abby more than she ever needed to know about the nature of the psychiatrist’s feelings for the Chief of Emergency Medicine. "Do you and Kerry talk about Kim?"

     

    Luka smiled wryly. "Kerry’s not much for… that kind of talk."

     

    "And you think Kim is?"

     

    He seemed taken aback by the vehemence in her tone. "Abby, is something wrong?"

     

    "I just don’t understand why you feel the need to interrogate me about my dinner with Kim Legaspi," she snapped sharply, using the blonde’s full name to distance herself from the visceral recall of having called out Kim’s name under other, far more intimate, circumstances.

     

    "I wasn’t…" he started, then stopped, shaking his head. "I’ll talk to you later, okay?"

     

    Abby watched him walk away from her with a curious mixture of frustration, sadness, and relief. Luka wasn’t to fault for her own impulsive actions last night, nor was he to blame for renegade urge to repeat them. Those two little truths, however, didn’t stop her from taking her confusion out on him– and for that, she was truly sorry. Sighing and rubbing a weary hand over her brow, she wandered towards the admit desk and the lean figure that had been in her peripheral vision the entire time.

     

    Kim had been aware of Abby and Luka’s quiet presence from the moment she had arrived in the ER; however, her attention had been more than diverted by her own wary tango of a conversation with Kerry. Over these last weeks, they had been in the process of regaining some professional equilibrium; but– for Kim at least– everything had been thrown into dramatic disarray once more by the act of taking Abby Lockhart to bed. Shaking her head to dispel the conflict roiling in her thoughts, Kim took one look at the woman beside her and realized she wasn’t alone on the ocean of uncertainty. "You okay?"

    1. I have to admit that I stopped watching ER several years ago, but after reading this, two things came to mind. 1. If I could have watched this story, with this dialogue on my TV screen I would still be watching faithfully each and every week. 2. This was a great reminder of why I shouldn’t ever work in a hospital…way too much gossip!!!! LOL Wonderful story…beautiful writing. Thank you for posting this here. And thank you for inspiring Jacky. The degrees of separation continue to prove true. While you were writing this, did you ever think that because of someone somewhere reading it, that a fan site would be established for a completely different show, that would in turn change thousands of lives all around the world? I know, amazing isn’t it…the power of a story. Thanks again.

    3. Gosh! This is fantastic. I love all the characters on ER and you’ve done a truly excellent job with all the conflicting emotions and the power of irresistible forces of attraction between Abby and Kim. I enjoyed every word.
