Chapter 2 - Secret lunch meetings

“Calliope.” Arizona said, smiling.

Callie frowned. “Hey, don’t laugh at that! That’s mean!” 

Arizona smiled even more now. “I’m not laughing, I’m smiling because I think that Calliope is awesome.”

Callie raised one eyebrow. “Awesome?”

“Yeah. It’s super.”  The blond said, now showing off full dimples. The woman seemed to be doing much better than before.

A comfortable silence came after Arizona’s words. Callie smiled back at them and they listened to the sounds of the night. During the day you could hear so many heartbreaking and creepy sounds but when the night came all you could hear were birds signing their songs and the soft breeze. It was beautiful actually.

Callie looked up to see a clear sky. There were stars everywhere and they were brighter than she could remember them. Arizona followed the woman’s gaze and they both watched the sky.

“It’s beautiful.” The blonde said.

“It’s awesome.” The Latina responded making the blonde burst out in laughter. Seeing the woman laugh made Callie chuckle too.

2 weeks later

Callie felt sorry. She had missed her lunch with Arizona because new trauma had just came in so she had to work during her break.

It was only the day after Callie had met Arizona when she saw her again. They had this camp with food and supplies a bit more north. It was a secured way towards the camp so you could walk there. It was about five minutes in total. Callie thought back of how lucky they had been founding out about this place.

Callie was picking up some food and supplies for herself and the patients when she caught the blonde sitting at a table and eating something.

The camp was made for people to actually eat there but Callie had quickly learned in her first few weeks that no one actually eat there, it was  a bit unsafe because it was more north and less secured than their own camps. So she was pretty surprised when she caught the blonde sitting there.

She smiled and then walked over to the blonde. “Hey.” She said as she went down to sit next to the blonde.

“Calliope!” The woman answered, sounding surprised. “What are you doing here?”

The Latina grabbed some of the food she had picked out and started eating. “I figured this place is kinda like a restaurant so we should use it that way. “

Arizona smiled, showing of her dimples again.

“How are you doing today?” She asked, taking a sip of her soup. “Okay, I guess. It’s been a quiet day but I did lose one patient that has been here for a couple of weeks now. I felt like he was getting better but then tonight he died. I don’t know what happened.” 

Arizona looked up at the woman, she noticed the sadness. They lost people every day, lots of people but that didn’t mean that it couldn’t hurt you anymore.

“I’m sorry.” She said.

They had talked the rest of the lunch and tried to meet each at their lunch times their every day. It was like the universe was working along with them because they had their lunch times at exactly the same time.

Sometimes one of them couldn’t show up because of new patients but they managed to see each other almost every day. Their friendship had grown. Callie had told Arizona about her friends back in Seattle and Arizona had told Callie about the awful doctors in her camp and how she had felt completely lost in New York.
