Us Against All Odds (En)

The encounter

The flame of love could not be rekindled or extinguished like flipping a switch.

It had been three weeks since Maya came out of her coma. Travis had come to see her and was walking her around the floors.

- "so have you been hitting on anyone lately?" said the young man

- "I tried, Doctor Wilson, Jo I think her name is, but in my memory she was with another doctor, but I don't see him anymore. I tried Dr. Shepherd too, but she's looking at the one who treated my leg... Dr. Lincoln with the eyes of a fried whiting" she said, pretending to vomit.

- "love is not your thing"

- "no I've never been in love! And I'm fine with that."

- "anyone else?"

- "ummmm maybe one or two nurses, there's Grace but she's straight I think, and Ashley but she's in love with a manipulator and that guy there doctor Avery.... With his beautiful eyes..."

This made the firefighter laugh

- "what?"

- "hummmm no no touching... It's Vic's ex!"

- "ah shit! ..."

- "your list is long!"

-"I remember a guy too, but I didn't see him... Doctor ... Doctor... De... Aargh damn memory"

- "Doctor ... DeLuca?"

- "yes a dark-haired, handsome..."

- "he... He is... He passed away, he was stabbed a few months ago in a train station"

-"Shit ... He was nice ... And ... Handsome!" She said with a pout "Doctor ... DeLuca"

- "and you've decided on your list?"

- "there's Dr. Wilson, who said she might have someone to introduce me to"

- "oh yes Jack told us about it"

They continued to talk and walk down the hallways, when suddenly Travis stopped dead in his tracks.

- "heyy what's wrong?! You want to knock me off my chair?" Maya asked in surprise.

This voice ... The reason for Montgomery's abrupt stop. She had heard that voice, that voice she hadn't heard for 12 weeks now.

Carina had looked at Maya before she could see her in return. She wanted to shout to her 'my love, I love you, recognize me' but she knew that it would do nothing more than scare her fiancée... Ex-fiancee... Fiancee... She didn't know anymore.

Maya finally met the eyes of the brunette, she looked her up and down, while Travis had resumed his race. Before the hazel-eyed beauty was no longer in her field of vision, Maya looked into her eyes one last time, as if she was surprised by such beauty.

Carina feeling her tears rising, looked away.
Arrived at her level, Travis had then taken her arm and had mimed a "sorry", before replacing his hand on the chair of his captain.

Maya turned and grabbed her friend's hand on the handle, while watching the brunette walk away.

- "Who the fuck is that? I don't know her, I would definitely remember her! Is she new? She's so beautiful!"

The irony of the situation made the firefighter swallow he was not as enthusiastic as his Captain. If only she knew...

- "Montgomery, can you hear me?"
