stronger than ever

He loved seeing that smile on her face. From losing their parents when they were too young, to having the life that Sawyer had always wanted to herself, he couldn’t help but to smile, because he had helped her to get there. Sure, people in his shoes would have loved to take full credit in these situations, but he knew that it would be wrong, because Sawyer made her own destiny. She knew what she wanted and she fought the hardest to get it. Besides, the Rathbones had a way of making themselves known for their hard work in anything that they set their minds on, so he knew that his sister wouldn’t be different. “Is that so?” He asked, smiling at his sister as he moved one arm over her shoulders and pulled her closer, planting a kiss on the side of her head as they began walking down the sidewalk. “As long as it’s a good addiction, that’s fine by me. Hey, maybe we’ll have another Rathbone receiving the Rathbone award? How amazing would that be, sis?” And even if she didn’t get that award, he’d still be proud of her. Of all the things that she had done to improve her career. 

"I hardly think that would happen,” she rolled her eyes about the award. Since she had vivid in her memory the last person who had won one. “They would call it favoritism. But I know I’m awesome with or without the award and so would grandpa.” She winked at her brother before moving her hand to mess with his hair. It was great to spend some time with his brother as they grew older and responsabilities only grew along with it, sometimes the time they would spend would be just a few hours before she would find herself going after her bed to rest her tired body.

Delphine was currently that person that she hated: the one who’d had the entire time waiting in line to get their wallet out but didn’t until the last minute. So lost in thought was she that it took the cashier’s voice telling her her total to call her back to reality. Fishing her wallet out of her bag with an apologetic smile, she quickly flipped through the various cards it held, but didn’t see the one she was looking for. Slower this time, she thumbed through the cards again but still didn’t see her credit card. With her wallet clutched in one hand, Delphine stepped backwards, feeling her cheeks flush pink, and gestured to the person behind her.

Once she notice Delphine was in front of her, Sawyer opened a smile, waving her hand at the girl as she moved to make her order. “I want a large cup of coffee and whatever she’s ordering is on me,” she replied, sharing a smile to the blonde woman. “It’s the least I could do. I drink a lot of coffee, so you can buy me one at some point.” 

“It appears… i missed something.” Hugo said, cocking his head to one side and making a bit of a face. “Well, that’ll show me to randomly disappear again.”

"Whatever happened while you were away, I’m sure you used your time wisely to enjoy some other things.” She replied to the man in front of her.

It had been a good night, she didn’t know exactly why the starts had alligned to keep her happy that night, but onot only all surgeries she had scrubbed in had succeed, she was able to do more than suction, perhaps she was finally getting on the good side of the neuro surgeon, because by the moment he alowed her to clip the aneurysm and she didn’t do anything wrong, she could fill her body filling up with joy, so once she looked at the clock and shher shift had ended, the first person she called was her brother. She really missed having dinner with him and since she wasn’t on call that night she could enjoy some time with her brother. Her path home and to get ready was faster than she had imagined and once her brother got home she was lying on the couch watching Modern Family.

“You make a good point. If I’m just feeling like I want a warm body, that’s different. I hate to say it but, I think I might be growing up just a bit, though. Because now I’m starting to wand one whose vocabulary is more than ‘dude’ and ‘are you DTF?’” Juliette laughed, shaking her head at the thought of wanting someone to talk to before and after hooking up with them. That never used to matter much to her before. “The hospital, really?” She looked intrigued while she refilled Sawyer’s glass again. “Are they numbers of sexy doctors or patients?”

“You are doing what’s best for you and there’s nothing to feel bad about it. Truly, we are great and beautiful girls, we don’t need to settle for less than we deserve.” She moved both of her hands resting them on the blonde’s shoulders before she smiled at her. “But, yes. There’s a really cute intern who works with me that I could always introduce to you, he’s a nice and a very polite guy.” As someone who had had a relationship with her teacher, Sawyer was trying not to repeat the act in the hospital keeping herself out of relationships with coworkers.

“I would.” Cece said with a reassuring smile. She’d recalled observing the woman drink, but had lost track of her a while later after she’d found a male to talk to. “Did you ever get together with the guy you were talking to?” If Sawyer remembered that. Hopefully she did, she didn’t want to alarm her. If it was alarming. Anyway. “It’s okay, really. These things happen.” Cece knew better than anyone really. “But yeah, we can still do that.”

"The guy I was talking to...” Her memory was terrible,  but she didn’t want to make her image get even worst so she smile and nodded in disagreement. “It wasn’t a lucky night, but at least after I woke up and dealt with my headache, it was a great day at the hospital.” Smiling at the girl, she was hapy she was still up for the idea. “Okay, it’s settled!”
