so I normally don't write stories on this show, even though it is one of my favorites, but after last night's episode I didn't like how it ended and I didn't like what Shaun said to that poor girl and hated how there was no apology, no nothing. So, of course, I had to do what the show writers did not and make amends with the two characters.
Shaun felt lonely. As he sat in his small apartment at the end of a very long day at the hospital he thought to himself about the people who he had cared about. , his brother, Lea. All of them were either dead, gone or didn't want to talk to him anymore. He didn't have any more friends, but he knew where he could get one.
"Hello is this Naja Modi?" Shaun asked into his cell phone after having found the number in her hospital records.
"Yeah, who's this?" She asked.
"This is Shaun Murphy" he answered simply. "From the hospital" he then added.
"Oh. Is there something wrong, did my tests come back ok?" She asked, wondering why he was calling.
"Yes, you are in perfect health," Shaun told her.
"Then why are you calling?"
"To apologize," Shaun said.
"Look you don't have to I'm-" Naja began trying to say she was used to those kinds of comments by now but Shaun cut her off.
"No, no I wasn't very nice. I wasn't very nice" he said. "I made assumptions that...that was mean. And I'm sorry".
"Well you're better than half the people out there, who don't have the decency to apologize" she replied, a small smile on her face that Shaun couldn't see.
"Some people just like to make others feel bad" Shaun added.
"Yeah, that's true. Just because some people are having a crappy day they look for someone to take it out on, and I'm always an easy target" she said sadly.
"I...I was having a cr-crappy day today" Shaun stuttered. "My girlfriend Lea moved away and doesn't want to be my friend," he told her.
"That sounds like it sucks," she said.
"It does" Shaun replied.
There was silence for a few seconds before Naja spoke again. "Shaun, would you like to get a coffee sometime, say Saturday? I know you're probably busy in that hospital".
"Yes I am very busy" Shaun agreed.
"So coffee?" Naja asked.
"Ok" Shaun replied before hanging up his phone and placing it next to his bed on his nightstand. He then smiled, thinking of how he had just made a new friend.
