Ten Degrees of Separation – (Chapter: Recasting the Primal Scene)
They made their way to a quiet, out of the way pub she had discovered many years ago. A place that was amenable to a single woman bent on enjoying a good bottle of wine and the odd book or two. Where the few men who did approach were easily turned away and no one was tactless enough to be distasteful. She and Luka settled themselves in the discreet booth that had always been her favorite, a stiff shot of Connemara in her hand, a dark ale in Luka’s.
Grimly they toasted each other, and Luka slouched wearily against the back of the booth. "I threatened to hit her," he said.
Kerry looked at him in surprise, startled both by the non sequitur and its content. "Abby?"
"Kim."
She snorted into her drink. "What’d she say?"
"She seemed to understand."
"She would."
He looked at her closely. "You don’t seem as upset as…"
"As I should be?"
He shrugged.
"Truth be told, Luka, I think I’m in shock. But…" She took a deep draught of her whiskey, shuddering delicately as it chased its way through her palate. Connemara was Kim’s drink, rougher than the Macallen scotch Kerry preferred, but she had found herself drinking it more often of late. Remembering the taste of it on Kim’s mouth as they kissed, knowing how it represented the sometimes surprisingly jagged edges her lover had revealed beneath her silken, tailored surface. "I think too… as much as
Kim can, she understands what she’s doing."
"More than I can say for Abby."
Kerry looked solemnly at her new friend. "I’m sorry, Luka."
"Nothing for you to be sorry about."
"You would seem to be the innocent in this situation," Kerry disagreed. "Collaterally damaged in the fallout."
"You too."
"No… I did my part to create this mess between Kim and me."
"You didn’t put her in bed with Abby."
They both winced at the blunt statement, the loss of their lovers and the sanctuary the women had found in each other hammering home with painful reality.

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.
