I really really hope that there are more Neric scenes in the rest of Season 5... What with Densi being in such a disastrous state and everything :(
Eric took a deep breath as he looked down at his scared, sick coworker who was currently lying in the hard hospital bed made of stainless steel metal bars.
"I like you a lot, Nell. You are beautiful and smart and funny and determined and strong and amazing. I like you more than a best friend. But you can't know this, or I couldn't even be your friend. So this is why I am saying it now." Nell opened her mouth, as if to speak, but in her confused drug-induced state no words came out. Instead, a single tear rolled down her cheek. Eric saw how bewildered and frightened Nell looked, but continued; "Whenever I speak to you, make a joke or try to ask you something, I can't talk properly and I go red and I mumble. I always embarrass myself, whereas you are so calm and collected all the time. I even accidentally offend you with what I say, I am so clumsy when I speak. But it is all because I love you, Nell. I love the way we work together. I love us." Eric was now red in the face and Nell was just staring at him, her eyes glazed over. "Ok. So yeh. please get better soon Nell because I... I- yeh." he trailed off at the end of the sentence, took his glasses off and laid his head down onto the starch white sheets of the hospital bed.
Teeny tiny chapter sorry!
