Everlasting Love: The Long Day Is Over
Izzie tiredly walks in to the locker room, fresh off of a double shift. She opens her locker, strips herself of her scrub pants before slipping on her well-worn jeans. Her head becomes stuck in her shirt while attempting to remove it during the exact moment that Alex enters the room. He chuckles slightly at the sight as he walks towards her and gently removes her scrub top. Izzie smiles lightly and leans her head on his chest, exhausted.
"How are you feeling?" He asks as his fingers lightly run through her hair.
"Not so good," she replies. "One patient kept making lewd comments towards me and his girlfriend was acting like I enjoyed it…and ugh…I'm so tired and…and…she's only five, Alex. Emily's a little girl, a baby, and she's in so much pain and so weak and so scared. She shouldn't have to be here," Izzie gasps broken-heartedly over her young patient.
Alex kisses her temple as he hugs her and states, "I know, it's not fair at all. We'll make her better though, okay? Tomorrow. Right now, I'm going to bring you back to my place, we're gonna relax, forget work for a while and sleep."
"Ohhh, sleep. That sounds amazing and sinful...Alex?"
"Hmmm?" He responds as he quickly changes his clothes and gathers his belongings before walking back over to her.
"Thank you," she says as she laces her fingers with his as they leave the hospital and head home.
