Oxytocin

Jack Abbot/Female OC

Charlotte "Charli" Lockhart. Local ER nurse who works at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital. Mainly known for its emergency room department aka "The Pitt" as referred to by the staff (except Gloria).

Transferred to from her hometown San Diego, Charli was looking forward to a fresh start after getting away from a controlling ex-husband and just wanting to get away from the place she used to call home as her family destroyed the meaning of it.

Her dad. Means well, but it was like he never believed in her. Or her life. Wanted it to be his. She took off when she was 19 and got married to her high school sweetheart, Peter. Nursing school is when things started to change as it seemed like Peter did a 360 and went from a caring person to cold-hearted. After five years of that marriage, she left. Never looked back.

Before she knew it, she fell in love with the chaotic environment of The Pitt and stayed.

Jack Abbot. Former veteran and currently the chief attending for The Pitt during the night shifts. Widowed a few years back as his wife died in a car accident. He likes working nights besides what his therapist said on him finding comfort with solitude or darkness.

He had been widowed for six months when Charli first started at The Pitt. Excellent with kids. He would trust her with anyone. Including his own life.

A few years of knowing each other and after working some night shifts, Jack and Charli were close. Tied to the hip. But, he does get a bit overprotective and (according to some of his co-workers) jealous every time Charli sees someone new.

Maybe there's more to the friendship than what meets through surface?
