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

     

    "I guess that was your heads-up," Abby replied hoarsely, not looking up. "Sorry that it was after the fact."

     

    "It doesn’t matter." Wanting Abby to look at her. It wouldn’t do either of them any good to embrace circumspection at this point. "How are you doing?"

     

    The concern evident in Kim’s voice must have found its way through the cacophony in Abby’s thoughts, for the nurse turned stormy dark eyes upon her. "I’ve been better."

     

    "I’m sorry."

     

    "Are you?" Abby barked. Kim flinched at the harsh sound, but kept unswerving eyes fixed upon the woman so recently her lover. "Because, God help me, I’m not. I wanted to be, standing here trying to explain this mess to Luka. And I couldn’t." She dashed away angry tears before they had a chance to fall. "Not even when Luka told me I may have destroyed your chance to make things right with Kerry."

     

    Kim rocked back on her heels, astonished as much by Luka’s accusation as Abby’s admission. Luka and Kerry had gotten close– that she knew. She had seen them go to lunch more than once or exchange hurried smiles in the ER hallways. His words could only mean that Kerry’s feelings towards her hadn’t substantially changed over these long months of their separation. And while that didn’t alter the essential terrain of Kim’s emotional landscape, it certainly made the air a little more difficult to breathe.

     

    Yet, at the same time– like Abby– she couldn’t bring herself to honestly repent of the impulse that first responded to the brush of Abby’s mouth across hers. It was the same fugitive stubbornness that had prompted her to respond to Kerry’s inquiries that morning. It surfaced vehemently now– moving her to reach out to the other woman and engulf her fiercely in her arms. "No, Abby. I’m not sorry. Not for making love to you. Not for asking you to say." She pulled back and captured the small face in her hands. "Never that."

     

    "I was afraid…"

     

    "Don’t be." She brushed soft lips across Abby’s mouth in a fleeting kiss that only reminded her it was unwise to do so. "The only thing I truly regret is that what happened is going to hurt other people. Until I saw Luka, that honestly hadn’t hit home with me."

    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.
