“Robbi?”  Abby skidded to a stop and reached over and Robbi pushed back on her strong legs, her back banging into the car tears falling from her eyes. 

            “Too small.”  Robbi stammered and Abby realized that she was having a flashback or an anxiety attack.  Her hands shook and her whole body was shimmering with a sheen layer of sweat.  Abby said nothing, she took her pulse, and Robbi pulled her wrist away. 

            “I’m okay.  Don’t doctor me Lockhart.”  Robbi berated her, even though she enjoyed the sweet touch of Dr. Lockhart she wasn’t much in the mood.

            “The ***** you are.  Does this happen often?”  Abby asked in her Doctor voice and Ro thought it had a ***** infliction in it.

            “Only when people start swinging the ***** end of my car around like a stunt driver from Dukes of Hazard.”  Robbi shot back and Abby grinned sheepishly.

            “Sorry.”

            “S’okay.”  Robbi muttered and then gathered herself, “I gotta pee.”  Robbi said softly and Abby helped her into the house silently resolving to not leave her alone.

            “I’m going to park the car, and then I’m going inside and taking your vitals.”  Abby called back and Robbi waved a hand to her pushing into her house. 

            Ro kicked the door shut angry with herself for allowing Abby here.  She’d been festering a minor crush on Dr. Lockhart since the moment she’d seen her at the dance club.  And she hadn’t even known her then.  Now that she knew Abby, she could easily fall into some sort of relationship with the woman. 

            Robbi walked into the bathroom, not bothering to close the door.  She hardly closed doors anymore.  The closed in feeling was sometimes too much for her to deal with so instead, she left them wide open.

            “Did you know you have like seven cars in the garage?”  Abby asked, peeking into the room that had light emanating from it.  “Oh *****!”  She yelled, turning away from Robbi who was sitting on the toilet.

            “Christ Lockhart, you’d think you’d never seen a woman on the toilet before?”  Abby heard the flushing and leaned even harder against the wall.  Ro got up and moved to the door.
