"What?" Aurora asked confused as Jackson's words didn't make sense to her. "You don't want to get married?"
"That's not what I said." Jackson smiled at her. "Do you trust me?" He asked her.
"Of course I do."
"Give me your hand." Jackson told Aurora that night at Meredith's porch. "Let's elope." Jackson stood up in front of her, offering her his hand to take.
"Jackson, that's crazy." Aurora chuckled.
"Crazy is how much I love you. How much I want to call you mine forever. Ari, I want the whole damn thing."
And Aurora took his hand.

Aurora was at the resident's room, putting on her white coat. Her chubby was between Jo's and Stephanie's and she continued taking glancing at both girls, who kept glaring at each other. "Why don't we go get a drink tonight? Talk about it?" Aurora suggested. She couldn't take the silence.

"You should ask her. I'm probably not qualified to answer that." Jo gave Stephanie a last glare before she walked out of the room.
"Just check your e-mail." Stephanie said and followed Jo outside while rolling her eyes at her.
"Thank you." Penny said awkwardly and gazed at Aurora, who was looking back at her. Her expression was hard to read, so Penny didn't know what to say to her. "Look, I'm sor-"
Aurora put her hand up stopping her. There was no reason for her to apologise again. "Just... good luck on your first day." She said and walked away.

At the elevator Aurora met with Amelia. And Aurora just wished she could be anywhere else than the hospital that day. After having three good days away, she was not ready to face anyone. Amelia stared at her as Aurora turned her back at her. She knew that she shouldn't have said that to her that night. She knew how it was like to lose a brother. And Aurora had lost both.
