A Benday fic, set during 5x3 "they treat horses, don't they?" Elizabeth and Peter are discussing Elizabeth's choice to go back to being a intern.
All rights go to Warner Bros, blah blah blah
Disclaimer: I do not own anything to do with ER apart from some Dvd's :)
Choices_:
"This is rather nostalgic." Elizabeth says, scrubbing her hands clean. "My last day as a surgical fellow." She sounded very chirpy. "At least it's a beginning of something rather substantial, a gastroplasty on a 400-pound gentleman... Did I make the wrong choice." Elizabeth says rather than asks.
Benton who is also scrubbing his hands, hesitantly replies.
"It's not for me to say."
Smirking, Elizabeth then says.
"Still, I wouldn't mind hearing your opinion." She waits a bit for his reply but then adds.
"Is there some ominous portent in that long pause?"
Benton reluctantly speaks.
"I just can't imagine being an intern again."
Elizabeth raises an eyebrow and then answers.
"I'm determined not to whine about it, and I feel very good about not leaving the hospital."
Anspaugh then immediately walks in and says.
"You might as well take a coffee break Peter, our patient just expired in the SICU." He then leaves.
Benton sighs and stops scrubbing, flicking his hands as to dry them off.
'Bloody brilliant' He thought, sarcasm visible.
The End
