Ewen signs the order for three days of observation at Shadybrooke for the jumper Epiphany sent his way and could kick himself.
"You can be a real idiot," he mumbles out loud. Elizabeth asked him out and what did he do. He did his job, the patient needed him. He knows he can be kind of spacey. It makes him a decent psychiatrist. He knows how to focus on the activity at hand, working with a patient, relaxing and letting his patient's worries drain away at the end of the day, but sometimes his priorities may seem strange to other people.
He was formulating an answer when his attention was caught by a nurse letting him know he could see his patient. He likes to assess suicidal patients as soon as possible after the attempt. It helps him to make the best judgment about possible treatments and gives him a benchmark to monitor the patient's level of improvement.
Elizabeth is the first thing he thinks of when his mind is free from helping his patient. He hopes he hasn't offended her. His mind wanders to Matt and his lame comment. Ewen knows that Dr. Hunter was comment on his and Elizabeth's conversation. He won't apologize for liking to paint. He learned a long time ago that some people's lame is another person's passion. Nor will he apologize for his interest in Elizabeth. From what he can tell, Elizabeth only considers Dr. Hunter to b a friend.
Which makes him ponder the quality of the men in Port Charles. He resists thinking that Hunter goes a long way to explaining why Elizabeth has extended so much effort on her ex-husband. Ewen senses that how Elizabeth reacts to Hunter and the liberties she allows are examples of how she responds to her ex. She has a very deep inferiority complex to overcome.
He shakes his head and thinks, "And I walk away without giving her an answer." He decides to track her down and give her an answer. Epiphany tells him that she went to Kelly's for a quick dinner before her next shift.
He's impressed with how she handles his walking away from her earlier in the day. "Maybe I'll see you there." She wasn't hurt by his actions, confused maybe ,but not hurt. It's a sign that she believes in herself more than when he first saw her at Shadybrooke. That or she doesn't think about him as much as he thinks about her. Ewen decides to forget that thought remember how she smiled after his invitation and look forward to taking Elizabeth to the ball.
