Mindy arrived to JFK at midnight. She had flown in with another doctor who thankfully helped her off the plane (She couldn't handle the crutches yet).

Gwen was waiting for Mindy at the arrival doors.

- Honestly, this is like the worst situation ever. What am I going to tell people at work? – Mindy said as they got into the car.

- Um, kooky suggestion but, how about you tell them you broke your leg? Cause that actually is what happened!

- You want me to tell them the truth? Ugh! The notion! – Mindy looked out the window in disgust.

- I know, right? – Gwen said teasingly - But sometimes you don't get to choose. Look baby, you tried. I know you did your best and it's not your fault this happened. These things happen, you know?

Mindy fell silent.

- What? – said Gwen, looking sideways at Mindy.

- It kind of was… my fault – Mindy muttered sheepishly

- What do you mean?

- I mean I stepped out there into the wild, in the middle of the night, alone... I had it coming!

- Had what coming? Falling down a slope after your priest boyfriend accidentally hit you with an umbrella?

- Uh-huh

- You are insane Mindy

- That assessment is correct! My life is such a mess. Even Bridget Jones was able to solve an international political affair before returning home from a wild, exotic country. I got… nothing. – She said in a defeating manner.

- But I thought it was Mark Darcy who saved her!

- What the heck?! Read the book Gwen, I told you a thousand times! She gets out of jail all by herself. You know I am all for Colin and Renee, but they messed up that part big time. – Mindy said in a rage attack.

- Okay, okay, chill out please… I see there is no reasoning with you tonight.

- You just pushed a button. I'm sorry. – She said now more calmly.

- It's okay. Anyway, you want to come to my place? You can sleep over and then I can drive you home and help you unpack tomorrow.

- No, its okay, just take me home.

- You sure?

- Yeah, I'm dying to see my bed.

The highway lights beamed and zoomed past Mindy's face. Slowly, as the car went by, a familiar and comforting silhouette started rising on the horizon: it was dear New York City. Mindy felt her heart start to beat again, shy but steady against her chest. A few minutes of silence later they officially arrived in the city, and as Gwen started driving towards Mindy's neighborhood she asked:

- Incidentally, now that you brought up the subject: What were you doing up at night?

Mindy pretended to be asleep. Gwen knew better than to believe that, but she cut her some slack. She had a brief idea of what her friend was going through.

Okay guys I know it's been a while, I'm really sorry for the ones who were following the story! I've been having some crazy weeks but don't worry, I have more coming really soon! I have one more chapter in the editing stages and one in the making. I hope you tune in to keep on reading! Thank you thank you thank you for your comments and patience! Most likely I will upload the new chapter tomorrow :)
