"The old faiths light their candles all about, but burly truth comes by and blows them out"

Aurora walked into the scrub room where Amelia is washing her hands.

"Aurora! Uh, Grey" Amelia said.

Aurora smiles. "Hey, Dr. Shepherd. You finished your Laminectomy in O.R. two?"

Amelia starts to dry her hands. "I did. Uh, did you need...?"

Aurora then walks more into the room. "Oh, I'm just trying to see if Bailey can get in here for a bowel obstruction"

"Right. O.R. all hers"

"Great," Aurora said looking out the window into the O.R.

Amelia then walked closer to her. "I felt like last night's business was left... unfinished"

Aurora smiles and looks at her. "You felt that way, too?"

"Many agenda items left unchecked. And how is your Head?"

"Yeah, barely scratched the surface, really. And it's good" Aurora said.

"Okay good but anyway I think we need a follow-up"

Aurora nods her head a little. "Agreed"

"When we won't be... interrupted"

Aurora chuckles a little and would take glances at Amelia's lips.

Amelia would do the same until her phone went off. "Oh, my God," she said and pulled it out and started to make her way to the door.

"Hey, how about-- how about tonight, if you're not on call?"

Amelia smiles. "I'm not"

"Okay, then"

"Okay," Amelia said and turned to walk out the door but stopped and turned to look at Aurora and then walked out.

🏥🏥🏥

Aurora was walking to where she got paged on the trauma floor.

Aurora exhales sharply. "I just got a page?"

"Oh. Yeah. Now, I don't want you to worry. She's understandably embarrassed, so we went ahead and put her in trauma one"

Aurora started to follow Richard. "Richard, what are you--"

"Okay, now, she's shaken up, okay? She's got a big bruise on her back, and-- and aside from a nasty head lac, there's no evidence of other injuries. Shepherd with her now"

"Who are we talking about?" Aurora asked confused.

"I thought they told you"

Aurora shakes her head no and Richard pulls the curtain back and Aurora looks and sees her mom.

"Mom! What happened?!" Aurora said rushing over to her mom.
