Sixty-Five

Ellie 

I had just sent my patient on their way and sat down at my desk. I was in the middle of answering an email that I got from Christopher when Leo walked in. 

"Hey." I said absentmindedly 

"Hey beautiful." He said quietly, kissing me on the cheek 

I finished my last response and hit send. 

"What's up?" I asked him 

"Nothing, just wanted to see you." He said with a small smile 

 I looked up at him and he seemed a little vulnerable. 

"You okay?" I asked 

"Yeah, I'm fine. One of my patients got me thinking about you." 

"Really? Which one?" 

"Olivia." 

"I haven't seen her in a year. How is she now?" 

"Better. You should see her now, exponential improvement." 

"Well I'm glad you could fix her.... she ran out on me the last time I saw her." 

"Well getting through to her was no walk in the park, believe me. Took me about six months just to get her to talk to me in full sentences. But after she was placed with her new adoptive family, she opened up and made a huge change." 

"Always good to hear." I smiled 

I paid attention to my computer once more seeing that Christopher had emailed back. 

"So...you and Christopher have been getting closer." Leo said suddenly 

"We're only friends, don't worry." I smirked 

He got up from my desk and stuffed his hands in his pockets, walking around. Pacing. 

"I don't know Ellie... you don't see it do you?" 

I started typing my response. 

"See what?" 

"How he looks at you, his body language, his tone of voice." 

I stopped typing and looked up at him. 

"What are you saying?" 

"It's just.....I don't like it." He admitted
