Leo was in Jenny's office waiting for her to come in, she didn't know that he was here and he didn't mind that. The element of surprise had worked for Jenny six years ago maybe it would work for him today. Leo heard the click of a doorknob as door opened Jenny entered the room.

"What are you doing here?" Jenny asked darkly.

"We need to talk. Can we talk Jen?"

Jenny went behind her desk and began to rearrange so papers and files. She didn't even look her husband in the eye "What do you want to talk about?"

"You." Leo said softly.

"Me? What about me?" Jenny asked looking at her husband.

"Well, for starters, Why weren't you happy to see me?"

"Leo I'm a doctor, a doctor who has been out of work for five months. I have a lot of work to do. So you will excuse me if I'm not happy to see you." She snapped sarcastically.

"Jenny what's happening to you? Six weeks ago you couldn't bear to be out of my arms, now you don't even want to be in the same room. You and I used to talk about everything, now we don't talk at all. So what has changed?"

"I don't know what you are talking about? Nothing has changed."

"Jenny everything's changed. You don't let me in anymore. After the honeymoon, you shut me out, pushed me away. I'm truly in love with you so much so that it hurts me to see you like this. Please, Talk to me. Let me help you. I want you to be happy and you aren't happy now. Let me in." Leo pleaded.

Jenny moved to her office door and began to open it when Leo stepped in front of her and pushed it closed. "Leo as much as I like your visits I have patients to see so, if you're done making whatever point it was that you were trying to make. I'll get back to my life and you can get back to yours."

Leo still stood in front of his wife blocking her exit from the office. "You are my life. You won't get rid of me that easy. Jenny, you and I know what's wrong all we have to do is think back to a June day six years ago and the long months before that day. I'm not here to lecture you. I'm here because I love you and I want you to know that you are not alone I will be here when you are ready."

"Ready…ready for what? Oh, by the way six years ago you don't have to worry about that with me it's not going to happen."

"Jenny." Leo said sternly loosing his temper. "Look at yourself! You are a mirror image of someone I used to know very well."

"Leo! This marriage can end right here and now if you want it to." Jenny screamed back at him while trying to get out of the door. She was unsuccessful.

"I'm not here to force you to do anything. I'm not here talking divorce nor do I want one. I'm here because I love and my heart is breaking seeing you like this."

Thank you for your concern but it is not needed. Now I do believe that you have a meeting to go to or a war to watch over or something like that. If you will excuse me." With that Jenny stormed out of her office slamming the door in her husband's face.

Leo stood in her office in disbelief. He had no doubt in his mind that she had a problem, a big problem. He only prayed that she would come to the same conclusion before she hurt herself or someone else. One thing was for sure from his own personal experience she had to come to this conclusion by herself in order for it to work in her favor. No one person could force her to do anything about it and he hopped she would do something soon.

Jenny stormed out of her office and down the hall to the drug lockup. She unlocked the cabinet, took out several pills and swallowed them with water before going to see her next patient. As she was walking to the exam room she replayed the conversation with her husband. How dare Leo say she has a drug problem? She doesn't have a problem. She is not him. She is taking medication because she is in pain not because she has a drug problem. She was still angry with him but she couldn't let it bother her anymore, she had work to do. She looked down at the chart and then entered the room to see her next patient.

"Hello Amanda."

"Hello Dr. McGarry."

"So I hear you took a spill off your bike."

"Yes."

Well, your X-rays look fine. All we have to do is take care of the cut. Jenny said taking a look at the gash on the young girl's head. "Are you allergic to novocaine?"

"Yes."

"Okay." Jenny walked over to the cabinet to get a suture tray and a local. She came back and injected the novocaine into the area surrounding the cut. Moments later the young girl passed out and stopped breathing. "Amanda!" Jenny shouted. "I need help in here!" Jenny shouted out the door and then turned back to the girl but she couldn't get her to respond to treatment.

Two nurses entered the room and began to assist Jenny. One helped do CPR the other started an IV. Seconds later Jenny's colleague entered the room to see her struggling to get the girl breathing again "What happened?" Allison asked urgently.

"I don't know." Jenny replied obviously distressed but doing her job.

Allison read the chart quickly and asked Jenny "What did you give her?"

"Novocaine."

"Jen, she allergic to it!" Allison said as she pushed Jenny out of the way.

"She said…. Oh my God!"

"Jenny go take a break. We can take care of this now that we know what we are dealing with. I got this go!" Allison ordered her friend.

Jenny slowly backed out of the room in disbelief. When she got into the hallway she ran to her office, got her things and, ran out of the office. What had she done?
