Celestial
She almost bumped into Bette Porter, who was waiting for her in the middle of the corridor, right beside the sliding doors of the operating room.
“Shit! Jesus!”, Carmen gasped in surprise, and Bette watched her sympathetically.
“Your head is always in the clouds”, she replied, flatly.
Carmen waved her hand in the air, as if she was chasing away a fly.
“Mmm… What do we got?”.
They motioned to the operating room together, their steps synchronized.
“54-year-old had a huge anterior wall MI this morning. Collapsed while jogging”.
Carmen put her cap on.
“Paramedics resuscitated him, but his EKG’s pretty ugly”, Bette explained washing her hands in the stainless steel sink.
Carmen observed the EKG file carefully.
“He’s hypertensive. This diagonal looks tight”.
Bette didn’t comment. She just put her gloves on.
“Who cathed him?”, Carmen asked, her eyebrows furrowing.
“Kennard”, Bette replied.
The door opened and Jenny Schecter’s – anaesthetist – hazel eyes appeared.
“Carmen. The patient wants to meet you”, she stated in her tiny voice.
Carmen sighed and nodded, and Jenny patted her shoulder as they both walked toward the operating table.
“He’s pretty out of it”, Jenny whispered into Carmen’s ear, and then, to the man, “The doctor’s here”.
Her voice sounded gentle and the man looked up. His half-closed grey eyes stared deeply into Carmen’s brown ones. Carmen smiled.
“How’re you feeling?”, she asked, gently.
The man grabbed her hand, and Carmen felt the warmth emanating from him despite the gloves.
“We’re just going to cool you down a little bit”, she murmured, trying to sound as reassuring as possible.
The man nodded, slightly, then his eyelids closed.
Carmen sighed as her smile disappeared, and her face turned as serious as it always was, when it came to her job.
Jenny turned on the music centre and smirked as the notes started filling the room.
“I love U2”, she stated, simply.
Doctor Mark Weiland looked up from the tray where every surgical instrument was neatly displayed and smirked behind his cover.
“Oh Jenny, I’ve been expecting this for so long!”.
Jenny just chuckled and ignored him.
”… Hey If God Will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
And if God will send his angels
Would everything be alright?”

Thanks for posting again veba!!! I remember watching this movie along time ago and I can’t wait to see what you’ll do in the next chapter.
still loving this story. thanks for taking the time to post another chapter. this is reeeeeeally good!!!will shane give up her “invisabiity” and become human because of carmen and learn to enjoy the taste of fruit for the first time or the comfort of a walk holding another’s hand and actually being able to feel it…always knowing that if that happens, she can never go back to who she was. hmm….thank you. bittersweet and serene, but a grand story.
