Cristina was excited. This was her first time being invited to the cardio conference, which invited the most renowned cardio surgeons in the world to one place to discuss and debate the newest and most cutting edge techniques. What made this so special for Cristina was that she was the first female fellow to ever be invited to this prestigious conference. She so excited that she almost didn't notice that her flight was being called. She realized the time and took off, knocking over a young couple, and running over several people's feet in the process. She reached the boarding dock with only minutes to spare. She ran onto the plane and took her seat.
The plane crash had been a year ago, and flying no longer affected her. Finally a man around 35 came and sat down next to Cristina. He had red hair, and green eyes. Unlike Owen this man had a slimmer build, more muscular in abdomen, and less in the arms. Speaking of the devil though Cristina, Owen walked onto the plane and placed his bag in the overhead compartment and sat down. He noticed Cristina and smiled. Their divorce had been amicable, and Owen tried his best to be nice to Cristina, and succeeded, except when he saw her flirting with another man.
Cristina smiled at Owen, and leaned back in her chair. She soon fell asleep. She woke up an hour before the flight was due to land at Heathrow Airport. She had a blanket over her. The red head next to her and smiled.
"You were shivering, so I put a blanket on you. Sorry if it is a little creepy." Said the red headed stranger with an English accent.
"Ohh no, thank you. I'm Cristina." She said sticking out her hand.
"And my name is Harry." Said the Englishman. "So Cristina, what part of this beautiful country are you visiting?"
"London? How about you?"
"London as well. Except despite my accent I am not going there for pleasure I am attending a conference for surgeons!"
"Ohh my god me too!" said Cristina, "the cardio conference, or the trauma conference?"
"Trauma" said Harry, sounding a little disappointed.
"Well it doesn't matter. What hospital are you from?" asked Cristina, who waws rapidly becoming bored with this guy.
"the Mayo Clinic. Dr. Parker is here too."
"What?!" Cristina almost yelled.
"ohh you know him?" asked Harry.
"Yeah" said Cristina. "Well I am going to go back to sleep," Cristina closed her eyes, but didn't really go to sleep.
She had not thought this trip through at all. What other doctors where going to be there? Colin Marlowe most definitely going to be there, Burke was too, all she needed to do was avoid them, and she would be okay. All she needed to do was stay away from 3 of the best cardio surgeons in the country. That shouldn't be hard.
