Abby chuckled wryly. "I look that bad?"
"Nope," Kim assured her. "But I did see Luka walking away from you with a frown on his face." She paused, wrapping her arms around her ubiquitous clipboard. "Which, I understand, is Croatian for I just had a huge fight with my girlfriend."
"You must speak the language better than I can."
"He being broody and inscrutable?"
"No…" she paused. "That would be me," she admitted.
"Ah…"
"This is harder than I expected."
"Tell me about it," she muttered, her next thought interrupted by Kerry’s returning presence across the desk.
"His parents want to talk to you. You mind?" Kerry looked at her expectantly, oblivious to the significance of the woman standing beside her ex-lover– and Kim suddenly found herself wondering what Moliere would have done with this.
"Be right there," she called over her shoulder, choking down a snort of cynical laughter and then returning her gaze to Abby. Her fingers surreptitiously brushed the nurse’s arm in tacit acknowledgment and support. "We’ll manage," she whispered, moving briskly past the slender figure.
"Not like we have much choice."
Kim rolled her eyes as the dry comment drifted into her hearing and shook her head. Joining Kerry on the other side of the admit desk, she fought the urge to flush under her ex-lover’s curious glance. "She okay?"
Despite the casual tone, Kim realized with a sinking heart that maybe Kerry wasn’t oblivious as she had hoped. "Just having a bad day," she remarked lightly. "And she needed to see a friendly face. Where are the parents?"
"They’re with him now. I told them to step outside when they were ready to talk to you." Kerry paused a moment, stuffed her hands in her lab coat pockets. "I didn’t realize you two had gotten so close."
Despite the sirens wailing dangerously in her head, something in Kim refused to back away from Kerry’s determinedly interested question. Though she had serious reservations about the wisdom of what had happened last night, she wasn’t ashamed of anything they had done– and she certainly wasn’t going to hide the geniuneness of their friendship and the respect she had for Abby. "Maybe she thinks of me as someone she can trust," she replied evenly. "After all, I was in the middle of everything that happened with Maggie."

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.

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.
