Blood careening through arteries too fast for her own good, Abby rang the doorbell and was surprised when Kim almost immediately opened it– even more so to see that the tall blonde wore casual khaki shorts and a white tank top. "Um…" she raised curious brows, hoping to conceal the disappointment that sent her heart thundering to an almost complete stop.
A deep chuckle rumbled in Kim’s throat, and she stood back to allow the nurse admittance. "Christy was running late as usual, and I just got back about ten minutes ago. So relax, this wasn’t what I was planning on wearing to dinner."
"Was I that obvious?"
A rueful smile twisted its way across Kim’s lips, and she shrugged guility. "You did look a bit like a puppy that’s just been kicked to the curb," she admitted. "Give me forty-five minutes, and I’ll be ready."
Something in the set of her lover’s broad shoulders and the arc of her head– not to mention the fact that she hadn’t offered Abby any kind of welcoming kiss– set the nurse’s senses on alert. Kim looked tired– ironic considering she had ostensibly spent the day relaxing with friends at the lake. Instinct prompted her to reach out to Kim, tangling the blonde’s slender fingers in her own and drawing her near. "C’mere you," she murmured, mimicking her lover’s familiar greeting and wrapping her arms around Kim’s waist while she rested her head just beneath the psychiatrist’s chin. "I missed you."
The hesitation was only an instant– less even– but Abby recognized it in the brush of Kim’s lips against her hair. "How was your shift?"
"When they’re that long, it all becomes a blur– a good thing, I suppose– but was I ever glad when noon rolled around."
"Poor baby," the teasing lilt of her lover’s voice soothed some of Abby’s rapidly prickling nerves, and the tightening of those long arms around her eased the tension rising in her body. The nurse closed her eyes and concentrated on the visceral awareness of the cling of their bodies together. They knew each other– even though the secrets of Kim’s heart belonged to someone else and the mystery of her thoughts she still frequently kept veiled. Yet Abby trusted, nonetheless, in the delicate nuances of what Kim’s body told her. Desire, fear, hesitation and need were tangled in their embrace, irrevocably entwined in the impulse that kept bringing them together. Had things between them been simple, they would have both walked away from one night of out-of-control-need and filed it resolutely in the back of their minds, resolutely marked finished. Needless to say, neither one of them had– Kim as much a part of their deepening involvement as she; and this reassured Abby that she wasn’t alone here in this room with these burgeoning emotions rapidly threatening to escalate beyond her ken. "Did you at least get some sleep this afternoon?"

My heart is in my throat…tears are running down my cheeks. This was incredible. Oh my God, my heart literally hurts! Wow!! Bravo…you really got this right. Funny, I knew it had to end this way, but I am still aching over what Abby is feeling. She may not be sorry, but that doesn’t make the pain any less. Thank you for writing this incredible story. It is one I will go back and read again.

Thank you so much for this story….I love how you write and you capture the complexities of connection and love and need and desire and so many other things in such a unique way.I too knew it had to end this way but the heartache I felt was unbearable, perhaps because it feels like you truly captured Abbys character……I am thinking of that quote, people come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime and the hope was for these two that maybe it could be a lifetime when in fact it was for a reason. What wonderful hearts you gave them.

Wow!!! That story was powerful, wonderous and painful all at the same time. You did an excellent job of convey all the mixed emotions that all these characters had… and the pain of unrequited love from some many perspectives.. but all with the same result. Don’t let this be the end of your writings. Keep more coming. Thanks.
