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

     

    Kim knew that Abby cared for Luka, knew also that she wasn’t ready to love the taciturn immigrant. What she hadn’t counted on, however, was his depth of feeling for Abby. She had seen the two in corridors and elevators, but she wasn’t quite sure when the genial attraction she had observed in their encounters had turned to love. Perhaps it was only now.

     

    Their eyes locked and held, and she became aware of Luka searching for something in her face– some sign of what she didn’t know– before he shook his head softly and turned to go.

     

    "Luka…" She caught his arm gently, putting herself in his path, vividly aware of what Abby must have told him. "I’m sorry." Never meaning the words more in her life.

     

    "I hope you know what you’re doing."

     

    "We…"

     

    But he cut her off. "I’ve never raised my hand to a woman in my life, but I swear to God if you say that you never meant to hurt anybody…" His urgent words trailed away under the din and rowl of the ER.

     

    Kim nodded once, more than understanding the rage and pain that directed the words at her. How she was a far easier target than the woman he loved. "We weren’t thinking," she told him evenly. "Least of all of the people outside the two of us that we might hurt."

     

    "I’m glad at least one of you recognizes that."

     

    "Are you going to be able to get past this?"

     

    He snorted derisively. "I manage to work with Carter every day. I’m sure you’ll be much more discreet and pleasant about the whole thing. And with even less reason."

     

    "I meant you and Abby."

     

    "I don’t think Abby wants to get past it."

     

    "Luka…"

     

    He waved her concern away and pointed at the drug lock-up. "She’s in there. You’d best go see to her."

     

    The dark head was bowed as Kim edged into the tiny room, slim shoulders echoing the S-curve of her spine. "I saw Luka outside," she murmured, her instinct to go to the other woman and comfort her at war with all the things inside that knew better.

    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.
