Ten Degrees of Separation – (Chapter: Recasting the Primal Scene)
Abby put a warm hand over the cool silk of Kim’s shirt, beneath which she could feel the strong beat of the psychiatrist’s heart. "Not here, you aren’t."
"Doesn’t matter." Kim shook her head angrily, upset not with Abby’s statement but with her own recalcitrant heart. "Speaking of which… what about Luka?"
"Luka will handle it like an adult. Carter, I’m not so sure about."
"Give me a heads up, okay? When you do it."
All that needed to be said between them, really; an acknowledgment of real world lives and loves pressing in, claiming them in a way that they never could or would claim each other. Except, Abby realized, she wasn’t moving, and Kim was responding by tangling her fingers over the trespassing hand that even now rested against her chest. "I don’t want this to stop," Abby found herself murmuring into the voracious silence.
"This?" Kim’s voice a burr prickling sensually against Abby’s hearing.
"You know."
"I do."
"But you don’t…"
"I do," Kim reassured her, ducking her head low and idly turning Abby’s palm upwards. "I can’t… justify it."
"Do we need to?"
"Your suitors might think so."
"As would yours."
"Thought you wanted to write last night off as a one night stand?"
"Waking up together pretty much took that possibility off the table."
"And now…"
"He’ll either understand or he won’t."
Kim looked at her solemnly. "He won’t, Abby. Not in a million years."
"You’re not giving Luka much credit."
"Carter," she corrected softly. "Carter won’t understand this."
"This..?" she questioned. "Two women?"
"You and me. This…" She brushed a fleeting kiss over Abby’s palm. "How it doesn’t change a damn thing, but makes it all… more tolerable somehow."
"I thought you didn’t have any particular insight."
"I guess I lied."
Abby looked at her closely. "Have you?"
"To myself? Frequently. To others? Rarely." She tracked Abby’s eyes down with her own and held them in an indigo gaze. "To you? Never."

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.
