It had been over a month since I last saw Dana. And to be honest, I haven’t thought of her as much. Yeah, when I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is roll over to see her, but when I realize she’s not there it doesn’t hurt as bad.

I lit the candles delicately placed on her kitchen table. Sarah was bringing over Tai food, which she had started to do with increased frequency. In fact, I hadn’t been away from Sarah anymore than 2 days in the past two weeks.

I ran to the door, stopping at the mirror for a final check before letting Sarah in, “Hey you.”

“Hi, you look nice tonight,” the tall, brunet said placing a kiss my lips.

Taking the food out of Sarah’s hands, I make my way to the kitchen, “So how was work?”

“Oh, it wasn’t too bad,” Sarah answered, noticing Alice’s backside as she followed her, ” I, uh, actually saw Dana there.”

Upon hearing this, I turned around with a confused expression look, “You saw her at the hospital?”

Why would Dana be at the hospital? Maybe some training injury.

Sarah works as emergency room nurse at Cedar Sini. Alice had actually met her there after an unfortunate turn of events with a bagel cutter.

They both sat at the table, Sarah reaching across for a container of food, “Yeah, I ran into her in the elevator. Not that she knows who I am.”

Sarah’s comment did not go missed, “Sarah” I say reaching across for her hand. “That is just a part of my life that I want to forget about. And I amwith a little help from someone special.”

The brunet shed a smile, ” I understand, I just don’t get how she hurt you so badly. I would never do that.”

“Don’t make promises you can’t keep,” I was reminded of the thousands of times Dana said the same words to me in retort to something Gabby had done.

Pulling her hand away, “I see.”

Seeing the hurt I caused, I got up, resting my arms around Sarah’s neck, ” I just really like what WE have. I don’t want to be reminded of anything or anyone else.”
