I choose you.

I should wear the armor, and you the gown.

The world has changed, and none of us can go back. All we can do is our best, and sometimes, the best that we can do, is to start over.  - Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

Three things you love to do when you have a day off.

Dear Elena, yes, you heard that correctly. Hell has frozen over. I’m writing it all down. Granted, I’m half a bottle in thanks to my 1950 Chateau Cheval Blanc, a bottle I waited 65 years to open. I used to spend nights sitting in my wine cellar convincing myself I could hear it age, tannins growing, fermenting, but appreciating its beauty didn’t make time go by any faster. The bottle just laid there on its shelf, torturing me while I waited for Katherine and time stood still. Eventually I convinced myself that no sip of that wine could ever taste as good as I dreamt it would. And that is the story of why I drink bourbon. I don’t know who I am without you, but I know that as long as I’m with you, time will stand still. So who is Damon Salvatore without Elena Gilbert? A selfish friend, a jealous brother, a horrible son? Or maybe with a little luck, I’ll do right by you. Because you may be a thousand miles away or a hundred years away, but you’re still here with me and my heart is right there in that coffin with you… until you come back to me.

What our patients really want to know is– is there hope? But, inevitably, there are times when you find yourself in the worst case scenario. When the patient’s body has betrayed them and all the science we have to offer has failed them. When the worst case scenario comes true, and clinging to hope is all we’ve got left.

Teenie - you brought men home?

I’m sorry, too.
