A Day in the Life of...[Open to any one crazy enough to go to the Hospital cafeteria]
Dr. Tam. Good Dr. Tam. Hard-working, never-eating, sometimes-forgetting-to-sleep Dr. Tam. He hadn't seen his sister in a while. He'd only briefly caught a glimpse of John, and that guy down the hall was a little creepy. Simon had thrown himself into his work, and he had to wonder if this was all he was meant for. He was even a little shocked that he'd some how accepted, for the moment, that River was becoming an adult and that she might be able to stop someone from turning into a complete monster - Simon had his doubts, but work was dulling them. He was also a little amused at his occasional wish to be out on some hair brained adventure that was going to end up getting at least one person shot and others incarcerated - escape capers were also good for the heart.
Dr. Simon Tam needed a vacation or a life or both. Nurse Ratchett had stopped giving him the evil eye and had gone so far as to say the doctor should take a break and have a little soup. The realization that the woman had only glared at him a little while she said it rather than giving him the evil eye that would probably cause sterility in lesser men made Simon actually sit down in the caf and contemplate his existence over a cooling cup of broth.
I should find River, maybe Inara. Think I saw Zoe at that crazy party. Maybe I should look for George - we never got that coffee... Thinking of George led him directly down a path he was doing rather well at avoiding, Kaylee. It wasn't that Kaylee wasn't in his thoughts when River, Inara, or Zoe were there but that George was a semi-possibility like Kaylee, well, not exactly like Kaylee. He couldn't see George covered in grease happy to be working on some capacitor or fuel in-take.
Good Dr. Tam sat and stared into his soup, thinking and possibly for the moment relaxing.
