Peter and Dana broke apart and looked into each other's eye's not sure of where they should go from here. His hand was still in her hair and her hands rested on his chest, she was the first one to speak, "I think we should---" she was then cut off by someone walking around the corner, Lu stood there in absolute shock, Dana and Peter completely snapped apart, standing ten feet apart of what ten seconds ago wasn't ten centimeters.

Dana felt as she owed Lu an explanation, "Lu, it's not what it looks like".

Lu nodded, I'm sure it's not, so then what exactly is it?".

Dana began to speak when Peter interrupted her, "Dana was just checking my lymph nodes, they felt swollen, yeah, they're swollen, feel".

Lu blankly looked at him, "I was standing over there in plain view of the two of you for about two minutes, I'm not stupid".

Dana sighed, partly in relief, "Dana, what about Nick?"

Dana not being able to clearly think asked, "What about him?" then it clicked, "Oh, Nick's still sewing his wild oats". Lu turned around and backed away.

Again they were all alone, not a person in sight, Dana looked at Peter, "It was a moment that's all".

Peter agreed, "Yeah, just a moment" Dana walked back into her office and took a seat behind her desk not even a bit concerned about what just happened with Peter or what Nick's reaction would be if he found out, it was the farthest thing from her mind.

When I was young I never needed anyone And making love was just for fun Those days are gone Livin' alone I think of all the friends I've known When I dial the telephone Nobody's home All by myself Don't wanna be All by myself Anymore

Dana sat on the chase in her living room with a glass of wine in one hand and a magazine in the other. Then the events of the day caught up with her. She knew that she didn't love Peter but then again that did'nt mean she couldn't.

Dana kept thinking back to after they broke up, seeing him, hanging all over other doctors and nurses, right in front of her. Even at the time she pretended that everything was okay but, in reality it wasn't, he hurt her and now as she thought long and hard about it she really didn't know how to feel.

Hard to be sure Sometimes I feel so insecure And loves so distant and obscure Remains the cure All by myself Don't wanna be All by myself Anymore All by myself Don't wanna live All by myself Anymore

The next morning the clinic was booming as she walked through the doors, but what she did'nt expect when she shoved opened her office door was Nick sitting there on the couch in her office. "Oh, Nick, you scared me". She walked over to her desk and sat her briefcase down, "Is there something on your mind?"

She stood there looking at him, "Yeah, Dana there's a few things on my mind right now".

Dana sat down in the chair across from him, "Okay, what's up?"

All by myself Don't wanna live All by myself Anymore When I was young I never needed anyone Making love was just for fun Those days are gone All by myself Don't wanna be All by myself Anymore

Nick moved closer to her, "What's going on Dana?".

She looked at him and raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean what's going on?"

Nick sat back casually on the couch, "You tell me, are you having fun playing doctor with Peter?"

Dana's eye's looked as if they were going to pop out of her head and she gave a nervous laugh, "I don't know what you're talking about".

Nick stared at her, "I'm sure you don't".

All by myself Don't wanna live Oh Don't wanna live By myself, by myself Anymore By myself Anymore Oh All by myself Don't wanna live I never, never, never Needed anyone
