"I'm the best drunk driver there is!" she bragged
"That really isn't something you should say out loud. " he told her. The smile was now unconsciously etched on his face.
"So, why don't we just leave this bumper cars here and get into my real one. When we get to my house, I'll give you an even more amazing ride. "
She laughs to that. Loud and hearty. Not bothering to blush, instead his cheeks are the ones to go red.
"I don't know about that, I'm not looking for anything serious right now. "
"Neither am I. "
'I know. But you can't promise you won't fall in love and I don't want to be a heart breaker." she says teasingly.
"Oh, I promise. " he says with a smirk. He didn't do love and she wasn't even his type. "It'll just be a one night stand. "
"You don't know that yet. " she says with a smirk of her own.
"And how is that so?"he asks
Her lips widen into a mischievous grin then she stands on her tiptoes and whispers playfully into his ears.
"Cos you don't know me yet. "
Harvey sits down devastated at the bottom of the stairs.
Rachel is coming down the stairs when she sees him.
"Doctor Pearson, what's wrong?" She asks
With a sigh and tears forming in his eyes, he says.
"I'm terrible with promises. "
"What do you mean?" the intern asks
"At the start of my profession, I promised I wouldn't let my personal life mix with my work but then I met her," he says with a sad smile, "and then I promised her I wouldn't fall in love with her," he laughs at that, "but then she came to the hospital and then again I promised I wouldn't let her die," a tear
escapes his left eye.
'and now," he looks up as more tears fall down, "I'm not sure I can keep any of those promises. "
