"Hard day?"

Izzi looked up, frowning.

"Don´t try to make out you havn´t heard."

Marc Sloan shrugged.

"Of course I have- but that´s not the point, I simply wanted to know how today was for you."

"What do you think, it was horrible-"

"Especially since OMelley is showing no sign of support."

He stated calmly while pulling his jacket on over his shirt.

"That´s not true, George is supportive, he´s just-"

Izzi cast around for words but couldn´t find any- as much as she hated to admit it, he was right, George was not supportive, he was too occupied with dwelling in his own misery to even notice that she was having a hard time, too.

Sloan nodded lightly.

"I understand, don´t bother- I´m going to Joe´s for a drink, care to join me?"

Izzi looked back at him disgustedly.

"Thank you, I think not."

Sloan smiled amusedly.

"What would you have answered it I wasn´t your boss?"

"Like you said, you are my boss-"

"Just imagine for a moment I wasn´t."

"And get fired tomorrow?"

"What, that bad?"

"Yeah, sort off- why are you asking, anyway, you can´t be that lonely."

"Why, do you think I don´t like you?"

Izzi leaned back against the lockers, crossing her arms over her chest.

"I´m sure you like my looks, especially of certain parts but apart from that, no, I don´t think you like me- you don´t like anyone."

"I like Derek-"

"You don´t like Shepherd, you need him because he´s the only one who´s more or less willing to socialize with you."

"Addison was- and Burke."

"Burke only put up with you because he had to- and Montgomery didn´t socialize with you, she only- "

Izzi bit her lip, thinking that she would regret it if she allowed herself to get carried away.

"You mean she only was interested in my body- that happens to me all the time, no idea why, every woman thinks she can take advantage of me."

He sighed and Izzi rolled her eyes.

"You know what, I´m going home now, I have to clean the kitchen-"

"You prefer that to having a drink with me?"

"Well, I don´t want to take advantage of you after all" Izzi shot back, smiling coyly back at him.

"Turning my own words against me, smart move, Stevens but I´ll get you back for this."

"That´s all right, I´m not that fussed about plastics anyway- have fun at Joe´s."
