He pounds on the glass, his knuckles bloody and teared.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Just let me see the cuts."
"I don't need a freaking nurse looking at me. Go do your nails or piss somebody else off!"
Throws open the door and runs to her bedside.
"Baby, I'm so sorry. I never meant to. Why'd you have to run? It was a simple misunderstanding. You understand don't you? Goddamn Caroline just answer me! Caroline! Fine! Whatever!"
Storms out of the room, runs out of the hospital.
"I'm beginning to see a pattern here Doctor Carson."

Leans in closer and whispers, "I'll see you tonight for dinner, right?"
Nods her head and finishes replacing the IV.
"Have a good night Caroline. See you in the morning."
