Abby inclined her head. "You’d be right about that."
"And…"
"Is this an official consult?" Abby asked instead of replying. "Cause if it is, maybe we should meet back later in your office."
Accepting the gentle rebuke with a rueful smile, Kim glanced at the clock again and reluctantly released Abby from their embrace. ""Speaking of which… I’m on in an hour and a half."
"That makes two of us."
"Can I interest you in a scenic tour of my bath facilities?"
"Will you promise to keep your hands to yourself?"
"No."
"Good. Then you’re on." Abby kissed her again swiftly and slipped out of bed, padding towards the bathroom. Kim remained supine, shamelessly enjoying the view until Abby shut the door on her with a roll of her eyes. Usually camouflaged by shapeless scrubs or bulky leather coats, the nurse’s unexpectedly lush curves had been something of a revelation that she had delighted in discovering and had hastened to explore. The sense memory of those well-defined legs wrapped around her waist roiled through Kim’s musculature, tiny neurons sparking in recalled pleasure.
Shaking her head to dispel the momentary paralysis, she rolled over and slapped the clock radio off. "You probably want to go ahead and turn the shower on," she called over her shoulder. "It takes a couple minutes for the water to heat up."
A muffled, unintelligible reply– followed by the sound of rushing water– emanated from behind the closed door.
Guessing that Abby would probably want to take care of some necessities before jumping into the shower, Kim made her way into the living room– where the sight of her jeans flung haphazardly under the coffee table brought her up short. Unexpectedly, the substantial weight of what she had done last night came to rest somberly on her bare shoulders. While she had long ago reconciled herself to having a tempestuous nature that sometimes overrode her better judgment, she wasn’t sure she could completely attribute last night to one of those times.
Maybe the concealed world of hurt bleeding out through sienna eyes too knowing for their own good had gotten to her. Maybe their resonance was an echo of a shared pain, acknowledged and cauterized by this healing touch. Or maybe it was just her own heartsore weariness of seeing Kerry every day and being unable to move on, despite her protestations to the contrary. Whatever the reason– an enmeshed coil of conflicting emotions, motives, and needs had all conspired to bring her to this point, and she couldn’t bring herself to regret it.

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.
