Note: Just a quick one-shot. An idea that amused me while I'm trying to think of a way to untangle the roomies multi-chapter.


Ray screwed up his eyes at the daylight as he stumbled out of his room.

"Morning," Neela's bright voice greeted him. She was in the middle of brewing up some fresh coffee, two mugs sitting out.

Bless her, she's always so thoughtful. Ray could never fail to be cheered up just by the sight of her. "Morning, didn't hear you get back." He perched on the kitchen table.

"Yeah, it was kind of a late one last night. I didn't think you would be up so early." Neela began to pour out the coffee. Milk in one mug, milk and sugar in the other.

Ray opened his mouth to say to his roomie that she should know that he also didn't take sugar in his coffee when he was startled to hear a voice call out from her room. A male voice!

"Hey doc, where's that brew you prescribed?" The tone managed to be teasing and inviting at the same time.

Ray could only stare speechlessly as Neela picked up the mugs and headed back to her room retorting, "You patients have no patience." She flashed Ray a smile before using her foot close the door behind her.

Something about that voice bothered Ray and it was a long moment before he realised that he recognised it as one he knew all too well.

Brett!!!
