We had been in Hawaii for a few days and Chris had worked every day since we got here, except for dinner when we arrived. I was getting ready in the hotel room to go to the beach and just relax. As I finished getting dressed my cellphone rang.

"Hello?"

"Miss Collins?" The voice asked.

"This is she." I said.

"Miss Collins, this is Melissa Scott from Massachusetts General Hospital." She said and I knew it was the lady I had set my interview up with a few days before we left for Hawaii.

"Oh yes, Miss Scott, how are you?" I asked sitting on the foot of the bed.

"I'm well, thank you. Listen I know you said you were on vacation for about a week and a half. The problem is there is an issue with scheduling, and we only have an opening for interviews in 2 days. Is it possibly you could come in?"

I just blew out some air and looked up at the ceiling.

"Um...shouldn't be a problem. What time?" I asked.

"How does 10am sound?" She asked and I groaned inwardly knowing jetlag and everything was going to be a bitch.

"Sounds perfect, I will be there." I said and I got up and grabbed a pair of jeans and a t-shirt from my suitcase.

"Perfect, we look forward to seeing you."

She hung up and I groaned. I quickly got changed and called the number Chris gave me if I wanted to get a car to go to set. Once I got down to the car the driver helped me load my luggage into the car. I knew I would have to get home ASAP so I would have time to adjust to he time change.

"Can you take me to set and then wait for me please?" I asked the driver.


"Of course, ma'am." He said and I pulled out my cellphone.

GENEVA: You filming?

CHRIS: About to go on break, why?

GENEVA: On my way, we need to talk.

I knew this would panic him, so I needed to fix that wording.

GENEVA: Please don't worry, its nothing horrible or anything...

CHRIS: Okay, I'll see you when you get here, even though I'm worried.

I sighed and put my phone away. Once we got to set, the driver opened my door for me and I got out with my set pass and started walking set.

"Geneva!" I heard my name called out and I looked to see Dwyane and Chris sitting together at a craft services table, eating. I smiled and walked over. Dwyane hugged me and I smiled, then I walked over and Chris who stood up and gave me a small kiss.

"Can we talk?" I asked Chris and he nodded as we walked off to the side and Chris sighed seeing my face.

"What's wrong?" Chris asked.

"The lady that I have been dealing with at the hospital called me a little bit ago. They have a scheduling conflict, and they need me to interview in 2 days. I have to go home. I'm heading home now..." I said and Chris just looked at me and sighed.

"Oh...are you coming back?" Chris asked and I just shrugged.

"I mean would it be worth it? I've been here 4 days and only seen you for a few hours in that time. You are filming and working. I know that's why we are here, but we eat dinner in the room some nights and then go to bed. I just think I will stay at home." I said and Chris sighed.

"Eva..." Chris trailed off.

"What Chris? You really want me to come back so I can go to the beach by myself, go shopping by myself and even go to bed by myself some nights? I would just rather do all of that at home where I know where I am." I said. Chris hung his head. "I don't say this to make you feel bad." I said.

"Well, you're not doing the best job." Chris said and I groaned.

"Listen, I have to go, I have the car waiting. I love you and I will see you when you get home." I said and Chris just half nodded. I wrapped my arms around his midsection, and he just looked down at me as I had tears in my eyes. "If I didn't have to go, I wouldn't." I said.

"Then don't. You don't need to work Geneva, I have told you this." Chris said.

"It's not about needing to work Chris, I want to work. I want to help people." I said and he sighed. He just leaned down and gave me a passionate kiss.

"I'll miss you." Chris said, I placed my forehead on his chest as he wrapped his arms tightly around me.

"I'll miss you more." Chris said. I lifted my head, and he kissed me again.

"I better go." I said and he groaned.

"I'll walk you to the car." Chris said taking my hand when we released each other.

"You leaving already?" Dwyane asked.

"Yeah, a job interview got moved so I have to head home." I said and he sighed.

"Well, it sucks you have to leave but I look forward to seeing you at the premiere." Dwyane said and I smiled as we walked to the car.

"Have you noticed Emily and Dwyane want to see me at these premieres?" I asked and Chris laughed and nodded.

"Looks like I have to keep you around then huh?" Chris asked and I nodded.

"I think so." I said as we got to the car. Chris opened the back door for me.

"Let me know when you get home." Chris said and I nodded. He leaned in and passionately kissed me, and I moaned as he did. Once we broke apart, he placed his forehead against mine.

"I will call and get you a ticket at the airport..." Chris said, and I shook his head.

"No, it's okay I can get it."

"I got it." Chris said and I sighed just letting his win this fine.

"Fine. I love you." I said getting in the car.

"I love you." Chris said and closed the door to the car. Once it pulled away, I looked at the driver.

"Airport please." I said and he nodded. I then just looked out the window and wiped he tears from my cheeks that had fallen.

***CHRIS POV***

I walked back to the set and sat down where I had been.

"So, she is going back to Boston?" Dwyane asked.

"Yeah, a job interview got moved up and she needed to get home." I said and Dwyane nodded.

"I'm sorry Chris. I know you were trying to plan the perfect proposal for tonight." Dwyane said and I shrugged.

"Yeah, I know...but I guess I will just go to plan C." I said.

"What's plan C?" Dwyane asked.

"I have no clue." I said and we both chuckled as I called the airport.
