Answer to guess: I 'm agree with you, actually Arizona seems to be changing, she still struggles against her anxieties and resentments, although she doesn't hide her feelings but it is part of the character who is always hesitant in the commitment but who really does it, when she jumps the step. In my opinion their meeting can not be easy they both have a long history to process, so you're gonna have to be patient...THANKS FOR REVIEWS FAVORITE AND FOLLOWERS
Chapter 13 " I've met a ghost"
The conference was a great success. As agreed, Arizona and Sofia were in the front row and had supported Callie by the look
throughout her presentation, so that she had reached the end, with an assurance which she herself was astonished at.
She had even managed to control the emotion that overwhelmed her, when she recalled the work she had begun in
Seattle, with Derek , uttering a posthumous tribute to her friend, the great neuro - surgeon gone too soon.
Arizona had been impressed by Callie's so accurate description of how amputees felt . Taking a discreet look to her ex-wife She had
placed her sheets cards on the desk, and spontaneously she had described the various steps on the physical level of course, but also
emotionally step, as if she herself had lived this experience. She also explained the trauma of the surgeon who has to make that
ultimate call.
The "Arizona prosthesis" certainly represented a revolution for the recovery of the patient's autonomy but also by this fact, an
invaluable, comfort for the caregiver.
Arizona was moved, admiring and absolutely mesmerized by Callie's words, her ex-wife was an exceptional surgeon, technically she
was just great. But to the abilities of the surgeons are added precious human qualities that make her the fascinating being that she is.
All the people who counts as leaders in the scientific field is present, everyone congratulates her, and agrees to ensure that it is a
major breakthrough for amputees.
While she's busy with sponsors, potential investors, laboratories, colleagues, Callie's gaze is irrepressibly attracted to Arizona. She sees
her in great conversation with a very beautiful woman with brown hair and impeccably smoothed, who literally devoured Arizona with
her big blue eyes. This vision bothers her to a point that she would not have not imagined. She manages to free herself and sneak in
to approach the two women.
- Hey Callie ! It was great! you were wonderful oh and then, I listened to people's comments, you were unanimous, they really praised you!
Callie pays no attention to Arizona's enthusiastic compliments, she can't help but observe the brunette who had been strangely
neglected to introduce her. Shaking hands to this woman she already hated, she greets her in an abnormally cold tone.
- You are apparently an acquaintance of my wife?
- Ex-wife corrects Arizona without thinking, immediately blaming herself for having done so.
Callie throws a black look at her, of those Arizona doesn't like at all.
- Yes sorry, so I said, you are an acquaintance of my Ex-wife. Insisting on the ex for the blonde who was beginning to see this exchange in a bad eye.
- Uh yes, you could say that. But then, a really, very good acquaintance
The woman answers, purposely wanting to be enigmatic. As she introduces herself, she shakes Callie's hand energetically.
- I am really delighted to put a face on a name Doctor Torres. I've heard a lot about you in Seattle. Your work is really very inspiring
- Personally I have not had the opportunity to hear from you. Who might you be?
- Oh sorry, Eliza Minnick, orthopedic surgeon!
- Callie ...
Arizona does not expect to be witnesses of a verbal sparring match that had nothing cordial and really wishing to put an end to this embarrassing situation , interrupts the exchange between her exes
- Judith's mother invited Sofia to sleep tonight, I gave her permission. I thought you wouldn't mind and I didn't want to bother you with that kind of detail today.
- No problem
Callie answers more dryly than she would have liked. Without the shadow of a doubt, this Minnick had slept with Arizona, and seeing
as she was looking at her, she certainly intended to do it again. This idea boils the hot-blooded latin woman. Yet she knows that it is
not legitimate, they have been divorced for several years, and in addition she is the one, who wished the separation. But when she's in
this state, she can't reason with herself, she can't help herself, and thinking about it, except Arizona Robbins, no one puts her in such
level of anger.
- Callie, hey Callie! Arizona is kicking her on the arm. Where are you? I'm talking to you.
She knew too well where Callie's thoughts were taking her. Yesterday's demons re-emerged and Arizona had experienced them too
much, had suffered too much not to recognize and fear them.
- What ?
- I told you that I was going to drive Sofia to her friend's, I leave you to your fans. See you later and again congratulations !
Dr. Minnick had imposed herself and had not seen fit to have the discretion to walk away during this exchange and letting space to the
mothers so that she greets Callie and leaves at the same time as Arizona and Sofia.
