Ethan
The day had been long and arduous, and with summer drawing to its close the days were starting to get shorter, I prepared myself to enter into an evening that was dusted in a subtle chill.
I pulled on my coat as I made my way to Edenbrooks quiet atrium, the cold white lights was definitely something I was dying to escape from. The plan for this evening was quite simply to go home and enjoy a sip or two of the vintage bourbon sitting on my kitchen shelf; a book in hand, not a sound, not a soul other than myself to break the tranquillity -
But as I came to the atrium floor, I realised that that plan might have to be put on hold.
There sitting in the atrium waiting area was Valerie. Not another person around but maintenance staff heading down the corridor that led to the ER, she sat alone with her bag on the seat next to her, simply watching her heels glide back and forth on the floor.
Her thick curls still perfect even after what I can only imagine had been a tumultuous day- as always she looked....beautiful. And naturally, as I have been since returning from South America, I have been drawn to her inexplicably.
...or maybe not so inexplicably.
I raised a brow as I approached her and said "V?"
She looked up startled a moment before relaxing into a smile "Hi Doctor Ramsey."
I checked the time and said "It's late, are you heading home?"
She sighed "Just waiting for the T. The times get a bit sparse this time of day and since my friends aren't around it's a lot safer waiting here than at the station."
The idea of her travelling alone at this time idea was enough to make me cautious - but undoubtedly the feelings that remained for her were the reason that I decided to abandon my evening plans altogether.
I leaned over and picked up her bag "Come, I'll take you home."
Her eyes widened "Ohno I couldn't ask you-"
I raised a brow "Well luckily you aren't asking. Boston is a relatively safe city but I'd feel much better if I took you home myself."
She smiled softly as her shoulders relaxed, her beautiful brown eyes shining as she said "Well if you're insisting."
She stood up and picked up her coat that was behind her and I stepped closer to her once it was on to adjusted it on her shoulders "I do insist."
