    Summary

    “Look alive, Javadi.”
    Dr. Shen’s face is currently obscured by a giant plastic cup full of iced coffee.
    “For you,” he says, pushing the sloshing cup towards her.
    Victoria can’t help wrinkling her nose.
    “Oh, um. I don’t really drink coffee.”

    Summary

    He was tempted to ignore the call, but in the end, he knew he couldn’t do that. Not to her.

    “Hey,” he answered. He put her on speaker so he could keep typing.

    “I’m sorry,” were her first words. They were rushed and she sounded breathless and he wondered how insane the ED had been for her that day.

    Summary

    “What, um,” she swallows and pushes her braid back over her shoulder with her other hand, “what are you doing?” Her voice wavers, and she hates that he might hear it. Hates that he might be able to read her mind—she’s never been good at hiding her emotions, they’re always painted plainly on her face.

    “One, I need to hold onto something,” he explains, leaving no room for questions, “and two, I don’t want you to jump away from me while you help.”

    “Help?” Emma slowly raises her eyes to meet his.

    “Yes, help,” he says flatly, blue eyes boring into hers so intensely she’s sure he can tell what she’s thinking. “I can’t suture with one hand. I need you to be the other one.”

    “I–I’m not sure I’m the best person for this,” she glances over her shoulder, looking to signal Donnie or someone who’s actually good at sutures. Her brain scrambles for an out, something to ground herself, to slow this down. “I’ve barely been here a month and—”

    “And I’ve been doing this for twenty years, so you’ll be safe with me.”

    Summary

    “So ditch him,” comes out of his mouth before any critical thinking takes place. He holds out his hand. “Have dinner with me.”

    “What?” Emma’s eyes widen. “That’s okay, I’m—I can take the bus back home.”

    It’s clear from her tone she thinks the offer is just because her date stood her up and he feels bad. A miscommunication that must be rectified as soon as possible. Brendon doesn’t like being misunderstood.

    He lets himself look her over, take in her bare legs, her short dress, the way the straps drape over her collarbones. “Dressed like that? No you can’t.” Impatiently, he reasserts that she should take his hand.

    “Really,” she pleads, eyes wide and shining with emotion, “just go home. I’m fine.”

    “I know you are.” That’s not the point.

    It gives her pause. Two little lines appear between her eyebrows, adorably furrowed in confusion. “I—you what?”

    He softens. “I know you’re okay. I’m asking you to dinner because I want to take you to dinner.”
