Who? Emma and Tim
When? Saturday mid-morning
Where? St. Mungo's - Nurses' station
What? Things are always as they seem - or are they?
Rating? TBD

Emma stood on the elevator, riding up to the nurses' station, a floor up from Intensive Care, where she had been visiting her mother on her break. Things were looking well; she was healthy once again and ready to be moved to the new Janus Thickney Ward, but her mind was still gone. It was going to be a long holiday season.

Pulling her hair back, pinning it in place, Emma stepped off the elevator and rounded the corner. Instantly, she recognized Tim as he stood at the counter. A smile was already on her face as she headed toward him, but quickly fell when she heard the high-pitch of female laughter. Upon closer inspection, the girl in question was another nurse and she was reaching out to touch Tim's arm as she laughed flitatiously at something he said. Emma frowned when she noted that Tim appeared to be flirting right back with her. She no longer knew what to think and found herself frozen on the spot, watching the scene unfold.

	"Are you?" He asked, watching her with fear in his eyes. "Are you in love?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She didn't want to scare him off... but he wasn't the type, was he? "I... yes..." she nodded. "I love you..." Emma told him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, shit. Well, he should have expected it. They'd done it a dozen times. Normally women fell in love after the first couple. "Oh." He said. Shit, now everything was going to be ruined. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It just happened... I shouldn't have said it, I'm sorry..." she breathed. Didn't he feel anything like she was feeling? Had she made a huge mistake with him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, fuck. Tim lifted his hand to run over his face, turning to look at anything in his office but her. Of course, nothing was as attractive of his attention. What was he going to do, now?

"Well... it's okay... I guess." He said, softly, frowning slightly. He was really going to ruin everything here, simply because he was far too afraid to admit he loved her, too.

"It's OK?" she repeated. "Wait... what? It's OK, you forgive me for loving you?" she scoffed. "You have got to be ####### kidding me!" Emma exclaimed.

"Oh, I'm beginning to think I've made a huge error in judgement with you! Are you serious? Is that really your reply?!" she cried. Emma could feel the hot tears in her eyes. The first time she ever told a guy that she loved him... and this?

	Tim was staring at her. He didn't know what to say. "What, just because I'm not sure how to respond, you've made an error in judgement?" He asked, frowning. He didn't know what to do, he couldn't stand to look at her, to be in here with her. He didn't know what to say, and he knew he'd already said the wrong thing. "Maybe you should go, then."

Emma couldn't believe what she was hearing. She wiped furiously at her eyes because she couldn't stand to cry at the moment. "I made an error because for a moment, I actually thought you felt the same way," she said.

"But you're right - I shouldn't be here," she said, shaking her head. Emma didn't say another word, didn't even say good bye, she just turned and headed back out the way she came.

She made her excuses at the nurses station, claiming to not feel well and she would be taking the afternoon off - Emma couldn't bear to cry at work and she just needed to get away for a couple of hours.

	Tim didn't bother watching her go. He had things to do, patients to see. He pulled on his robes, snatched up his clipboard, and kept himself busy with work for the rest of the day. He was going to drink himself stupid when he got home, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
