I've been drinking
I've been doin' things
I shouldn't do
Overthinkin'
I don't know who I am
Without you
I'm a liar and a cheat
I let my ego swallow me
And that's why I
Might never see you again
I'm alone in my head
And lookin' for love
In this stranger's bed
But I don't think I'll find it
'Cause only you
Could fill this empty space

"My gosh Dr. Skye, I can't believe this is your last day! We're going to miss you!" Megan smiled sadly at her as she tagged the blood samples from the penguin that had just been examined.
With an airy laugh Skye looked fondly at the keeper she had become friends with, "Megan, I AM returning you know... I'm just taking an extended leave to let these two girls continue to bake safely!"
"I know, it's just... you're a part of the zoo family now, it's going to be weird not having you just a walkie call and a quick cart ride away." Megan replied.
"You can always come visit me you know... In fact PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come visit me!" Skye quipped making the other girl laugh.
"It's going to get extremely boring extremely quickly, I will need the distraction."
"We promise we'll come visit, keep you up on all the zoo's latest." Aubin added. "But Megan is right, you can't be replaced Dr. Skye... it's refreshing having a Vet that is somewhat close to our age with all your experience."
"I told you girls, I'm only a vid call away, and I'm still available for consultations. I will be on leave but I can still contribute.... And, if you REALLY want to keep me happy you could always smuggle one of the meerkats into my hospital room when you come visit!" She joked, earning laughter from the other two girls.
"Whoa.... Damn, rock star super hottie at 6 o'clock behind you Dr. Skye. That's one serious smolder." Aubin remarked looking over Skye's shoulder.
"Hmmmm, I don't know... I wouldn't really call it a smolder. He looks kinda pissed if you ask me." Megan added.
"A guy like that, angry IS a smolder, and it's seriously dangerous hot... but maybe you're right Megs, it looks like he's gripping the handrail hard enough to bend the metal." Aubin agreed with the other keeper.
Skye lifted her tablet off the rolling cart and tapped on the screen, bringing up the page to add her clinical notes on the penguin she just examined. Shaking her head she spoke absentmindedly as she typed.
"Hmmm, well, he's probably just one of those easily offended 20'somthings that saw me take a blood sample and now their panties are in a twist thinking we're harming the animals instead of providing health services."
"I dunno," Megan responded dubiously. "He's literally staring daggers into your back Dr. Skye. It's kind of freaking me out to be honest... Aubin, maybe we should call security."
Aubin scoffed, "with as tight as those pants are I don't think he has anywhere to hide a weapon... they don't hide ANYTHING.. If you know what I mean wink wink."
"Aubin!" Megan looked at her fellow keeper shocked at her response. "Dr, Skye is carrying EXTREMELY fragile cargo! A person meaning to do her harm wouldn't even need a weapon."
Skye looked up from her tablet dumbfounded at the girl's conversation. "Hello... standing right here ladies! I GET it, everyone is taken aback by my leave of absence and the circumstances surrounding my Mono Mono twins, but I'm not some fragile little thing you need to fuss over!"
