After the party was over, we cleaned up and then put the extra leftover food away in the refrigerator. Christopher and Josh stayed behind to help and it made it go by even quicker. Brandi showed Josh out while Chris lingered awhile.   

  

"Thanks for coming." I said happily  

  

"Thanks for inviting me. I'm so glad you're back."  

  

"Glad to be back."  

  

"So...when are we gonna have some time to hang out?"  

  

"Hm, I don't know. It's not like I'm working right now, I still have to find a job."  

  

"You're a smart girl, you can find a job anywhere."  

  

"Thanks. I do have a few offers lined up for the next three weeks. Maybe one of those would work out."  

  

"See? You're already half way there. I have total faith that you will land at least one, if not all of your job offers. Then all that's left is to choose your best fit."  

  

"That's true." I smiled  

  

"Well look how about this: When you get a job, I want to take you out to celebrate. How's that sound?"  

  

"Sounds pretty great. But you know you can't be my patient anymore right?" I teased  

  

"Yeah yeah, I know. I got a new doctor anyway."  

  

"Good. I see they are doing well, you seem better."  

  

"It's a battle, but my PTSD has gotten much better, and I hardly have nightmares anymore, so it's all good."  

  

"Good. I'm so glad to see you."  

  

He kissed me with a smile.  

  

"As am I. You know, you really had a guy waiting for a long time." He teased  

  

"I was still moppy. And I mean...you see where it got me."  

  

"Yeah, I know. It scared me, I hope it doesn't happen again."  

  

"It won't. I'm better now I promise."  

  

He looked at my arm with all the battle scars and kissed them.   

  

"Good. Come on, walk with me to my car I have something for you."  

  

"Really?"  

  

He smiled.
