Us Against All Odds (En)

Mamma Mia !

Love is fragile and we don't always know how to take care of it. We just try to get by as best we can, hoping that this fragile feeling will survive in spite of everything.

Maya had left for an intervention. She had gone to their house to shower and change before going to the hospital. She had spent the end of her night in the captain's room, her fiancée's room. She knew very well that the blonde would not have thought of looking for her there, knowing that she had left in fury from the nightclub.

However, this had been her wild card. The next time she had a fight, she would not be able to hide here. But she had loved sleeping in the sheets, which smelled of her wife. The same ones where they had made love, not so long ago.

She may have been angry at Maya's behavior the day before, but she couldn't help but love her to bits.

She was in her office when someone knocked.

- "come in!" She said

- "Carina..."

-"Dr. Boswell. What the..."

-"I wanted to apologize for yesterday... Really this time. I know I had too much to drink and that doesn't excuse everything, but..."

-"Indeed, it does not even excuse anything..." Began coldly the Italian. Before taking hold of herself and asking more calmly: "your nose... Are you okay?"

- "I think I've earned it... I was kicked out... Well, nicely... But you had left the bar..."

- "yes indeed I have left. My... My fiancée, she came out of a coma a short time ago, she had forgotten me, forgotten our life, our history... So when I ask a woman or a man to let go with me, it's because I mean it. I really had a hard time waiting for her to remember me, or simply to fall in love again... So when I tell you that I'm not interested and that she's the only woman in the world for me. Believe me that's sincere. But also sure she shouldn't have hit you. You shouldn't have insisted."

- "I'm so sorry. Is she okay?"

- "First of all, I thank you for not hitting her back. And then, I don't know. She spent her night looking for me, obviously. And I sent her packing this morning. I tell her, I don't want anything to happen to her... I've been through a lot... I've been through a lot... And she just goes for it... What would she have done if you had hit her back and she had hit her head..."

- "it's all my fault..."

- "indeed..."

- "but Carina you are really a beautiful woman..."

- "What are you trying to say? That it's my fault because I'm too irresistible?!"

- "no sorry, that's not what I meant"

- "Why are you still in the hospital?!"

- "I wanted to see Dr. Bailey but I think it's a bad idea."

- "to come work here?"

-"Yes, but not all year round. I would like to make contracts with different hospitals around the country to come in first when needed."

-"Do what you want. But I want you to understand that you and I are never going to happen. We're do--"

Someone had knocked on the door.

- "yes we were done..."

- "Come in," Carina said, as Lauren left the office.

- "Is this a joke?!" Said Maya as she saw the doctor leaving her fiancée's office, as she walked in.

-"Maya, I'm sorry about last night. Alcohol doesn't excuse everything but..."
