Ten Degrees of Separation – (Chapter: Recasting the Primal Scene)
"Isn’t it a little late to be worrying about your reputation?"
"It isn’t my reputation I’m worried about."
"Gallant of you to want to protect your lover." His face hardened, features threatening to twist into someone Abby recognized from a very long year ago. Someone who had stolen drugs and lied about it. Someone who was more than capable of taking the truth and completely distorting it to protect himself. "But I could really give a damn."
"Actually I was thinking about Kerry? Do you really want people talking about me and Kim in front of her?"
He stared at her incredulously. "She’s seeing both of you?"
"They’ve been over for months." Not adding that from where she was standing it seemed as though the two women still loved each other beyond reason. Not wanting to think about what that might mean down the road for her and Kim. If there was a road for them at all.
He shook his head again. "I don’t… I just… Why now? Why her?"
"I’m not going to debate this with you, Carter. It’s not for you to get or not get. I may have hell to pay with Kerry or Luka, but not you."
"Because we’re not friends."
"That was your choice."
"And if we were? Would that have made a difference?"
"In what?" She looked at him, baffled.
"In deciding to sleep with her."
Abby threw up her hands in exasperation. "Why is it so difficult for everyone to realize that maybe what happened between me and Kim wasn’t about anyone but the two of us?"
"Maybe because it’s affecting a hell of a lot more people than just you and Legaspi."
Before Abby could snap off a reply, the lounge door swung open and a blonde head tentatively poked through. "Malucci said you were in…" Taking one look at the angry set of Carter’s jaw, Kim pushed through the door and leaned casually in the frame, crossing her arms. "Why do I think my ears should be burning?"
"We were in the middle of a private conversation, Dr. Legaspi," Carter replied roughly. "So if you’ll excuse us."

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.
