6.
He couldn't believe it was four years already. He has finished his residency swiftly and now his sub-specialty was going better than he had thought it would considering the idiot he's doing it under...
He searched her with his eyes, making sure she won't spot him. They have never met during those four years. Some cards exchanged, few phone calls done, nothing more. She was busy studying and there was always something more demanding of him then visiting her. But no matter what, he couldn't miss her Graduation Day even if he had bad feelings about it.
He watched her every move. She hadn't changed much. Got a bit thinner, and you could see more of that appealing determination in her eyes. A soft smile graced his lips. He liked it.
Suddenly, he straightened. A blond haired guy walked to her with a hand sneaking easily behind her back. It screamed of familiarity and trust and he watched transfixed as her face relaxed and settled into a happy smile. He could not exactly understand the cold feeling sipping into his stomach.
While he was noticing all the subtle changes in her, his back tensed, his palms fisted. A flare of something burned in his chest, but he refused to name it. He turned away not looking back and headed to the exit, his jaw clenched.
He should have listened to his instincts. Coming here was a mistake.
