Us Against All Odds (En)

You miss me

Falling in love is terrifying, that's why we talk about falling in love and not floating towards love. Falling is scary. Floating is more like a dream.

It had been a little over a week since Maya was released from the hospital. Carina had returned to work the day before. They had spent every day since her discharge together.

Thus, the 24 hours of custody of the Italian, were a little long for the blonde.

Maya: I came out of physical therapy...

Carina: Hi Maya, it's Ashley, Carina can't make it, she has a complicated surgery, endometriosis surgery and another appointment afterwards.

Maya: not even 2 minutes?

Carina: she doesn't know what time she will be available, she apologizes.

Maya: Thank you Ashley

An hour after the blonde's last message, the brunette had finished her operation. But she was far from having finished her tasks. That's why she had opted for a twenty-four hour shift when she returned. She knew she would have a lot of work to do.

She had started at eight o'clock this morning and was far from finished.

She had made a video call to Maya as she moved from the OR to a delivery room.

/phone conversation/

- "Bambina are you okay?"

-"Yes, I'm fine," she said rather sadly.

- "no, it doesn't look good"

- "I miss you..."

- "ooohh Bambina, I miss you too"

- "not even true, you're too busy!"

- "it's work, but I assure you Maya Bishop, I miss you"

- "I can't come... Quickly?"

-"I don't even have time in my schedule to eat or sleep... And I get to the next delivery room"

- "you get off at eight tomorrow?"

- "yes, Normally"

- "come in"

- "I might be tired, I'll go home"

-"Carina, please... Come, sleep here... I just want to... See you"

- "Okay, I'll come. I have to hang up."

- "see you tomorrow"

-See you tomorrow. I ... Kiss"

- "I kiss you Carina"

/End of phone conversation/

She had hung up. Jo, who was next door, looked at her boss.

- "were you going to say 'I love you' to her or am I wrong?"

- "it's not far off indeed"

Later that evening, Carina had returned to her office, where a pile of reports and papers awaited her.

Jo had come knocked.

- "go on in"

- "I came to bring you food, I guess you didn't buy or order anything"

-"I didn't have time, I thank you for that, I don't even think I would have had time to tell you the truth."

- "no worries, do you need help?"
