“I know who it was. I remember her, and her name.” I frown, tears in my eyes, “Have I told you I love you?”
“We’re on the clock, but I’ve gotta…” He kisses me, pulling me close. “I love you, too. I was waiting for you to say it first.”
“Why?”
“Because you like to be in control. And I like to give it to you. Sometimes. Don’t get too cocky, Myers.”
Grinning, I slide my arms around his neck, and we kiss once more, slowly and enjoying ourselves.
Pivens walks by and mutters, “Sigh. I blame myself.”
As we head in opposite directions, Caden walks backward to say, “I’ll catch up with you later, Myers.”
I wink, “If you’re lucky.”
He laughs and spins around, snapping his fingers.
For a few more seconds, I hesitate and watch him go, because man, that swagger.
It’s all mine.
We never did find out why Janet hated Caden so much. Scarcity mentality, probably. Some believe the only way to move up is to send other people down. I think she kept sleeping with Chief in order to rise even higher, and more quickly. Or maybe she did it just to spite his marriage because she was so unhappy and lonely under all that drive.
I never go into that coffee shop anymore. Too bad. I was addicted to those mocha lattes.
But as Caden says, you’ve gotta make sacrifices for greatness.
My phone vibrates just as I’m about to open the door for the E.R.
Elizabeth, guess what? I love you.
Thinking to myself that all those chances I took brought something truly great into my life, I walk in to give my patients what they need most…my smile.
THE END.
I used to wonder what happens after “The End.” So I wrote everyone ‘Bonus Scenes’ — special, random moments from their futures. These answer that call.
