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

     

    "No…" Kerry said after a long silence where they both caught their collective breath. "But I’m responsible for the pain that she’s running from right now. I can’t help her with that. Maybe Abby can."

     

    "Abby can’t help herself, let alone anyone else," Luka contradicted. "She’s only going to hurt Kim in the long run."

     

    "You don’t think Kim knows that?"

     

    Luka stared at her in surprise. "What did she say to you in that bathroom?"

     

    "More than we’ve said to each other in a long time," Kerry confessed. "More than I was ready to hear. More than I was ready to admit."

     

    "And…?"

     

    "And… I love her." She stared at the refraction of light in the shimmering gold of her glass. "I’ve never said that," she continued quietly. "Not to myself. Not to anyone. Certainly not to her."

     

    "She knows."

     

    "That’s not good enough." Kerry looked at him intently. "That’s what I realized today. I counted on her to know so many things, to know me better than I knew myself, and to act accordingly. And when she didn’t…" She shrugged. "Things fall apart. You know?"

     

    "So you can just forgive and forget?"

     

    "Not by half."

     

    "Meaning?"

     

    "Meaning, she told me today that the part of her that belongs to us has never ended. But that it could. Or we could go forward."

     

    "And?"

     

    "And I’ve chosen to go forward, Luka. Finally. Like you told me a long time ago. I don’t know if it will bring us back together. But, whatever happens, I’m going forward."

     

    ***********

     

    The knock on her door wasn’t completely unexpected, but still the noise started Kim out of the sullen bleakness she had allowed to swallow her normally sunny disposition. Ambling to the door, she swung it open to be greeted by Abby’s wry smile. Immediately her eyes focused on the bottle in her lover’s hand, and she frowned darkly. "Don’t tell me I’ve driven you back to the sauce."

     

    "Hardly. But I hear you like this stuff." She handed the bottle of Connemara to Kim. "Can I come in for a minute?"

    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.
