"What happened in there?" An excited Lily asked as soon as Jordan had taken two steps away from the door.
"A lot." Jordan said with a smile. "A hell of a lot."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Lily questioned, with a grin, knowing it had turned out well by the look on Jordan's face.
"Let's just say I'll be taking the morning off tomorrow, and no ass of a doctor named Slokum is going to stop me." Jordan laughed.
"Oh Jordan, that's great!" Lily said. She was really happy for Jordan and Woody. They belonged together. Anyone could tell that! "But what happened exactly?" Lily asked eagerly. She couldn't wait to hear all the details of how this enormous problem between the two was fixed.
"Well, you set it up very nicely." Jordan told her, "How did you know exactly how I felt Lily? You were right, of course, but I never told you any of that stuff." Lily just smiled, urging Jordan to continue. "Okay, okay. I'll tell you the whole story, as long as you answer that after I'm done." So Jordan proceeded to tell Lily exactly what went on inside that hospital room. Lily smiled, and listened intently as she drove back towards the morgue. Right as she pulled into the parking garage and Jordan finished her story, with the description of the light kiss on the cheek she had said goodnight to Woody with, Lily's car stalled, and then stopped. "What's wrong?"
"I'm not sure. My car just stopped." Lily answered.
"That's okay. My car's right over there, we can call a tow truck, and I'll give you a ride home."
"Well, actually, I have some paperwork and that I can just catch up on. I'll call the tow trucking people, have them come out here and take a look, and tell me how long it'll take. I can take a cab home or whatever later."
"You sure?" Jordan asked.
"Yeah, it's fine. See you tomorrow?" Lily told her, as they both got out of the car.
"Yeah, if I don't take the whole day off" Jordan laughed. "Have fun with Slokum and Nigel up there. Don't have too much fun." Jordan joked, but Lily smiled slightly, but she looked a bit confused. "Something wrong?" Jordan asked.
"No… nothing… it's just, I thought Bug was working tonight?" Lily said, trying to sound like she was innocently confused by the mix up of who was working.
"Oh yeah! That's right, he is. Sorry about that one." Jordan laughed; getting the feeling Lily didn't have that much paperwork after all. "Is something going on between you two?" Jordan asked, showing her sly smile for the second time that evening.
"No, nothing at all, why would you think that?" Lily answered, quickly and defensively.
"Oh, no reason at all." Jordan told her, still smiling. "But you'd tell me if there was, wouldn't you?" When Lily didn't answer at first, Jordan's smile grew even bigger. There was something going on between Bug and Lily! She knew it. After all the relationship help Lily had given Jordan that day, maybe it was time for some in return. "Lily, you know you can tell me if there is. It's not like I'm going to react weirdly to you two having a relationship…" Jordan said.
"Well, we don't have a relationship," Lily told her with a bit of a sigh, "But I don't know. Sometimes I wonder how much I wish we did. I don't know, I'm about as confused as you were with Woody, except he doesn't love me, and I don't know if I love him, and we haven't had any past together and…" Jordan cut her off.
"There's quite a lot of uncertainty in this isn't there? How do you know Bug doesn't love you? I mean, I've seen the way he looks at you, and talks about you. I'd say there's quite a possibility. Maybe you guys just need to have a little talk. How about we both go do some "paperwork" and maybe you'll end up with a date." Jordan suggested. Lily smiled at her friend. Jordan was right. Who said Bug didn't love her, or couldn't love her? Anything was possible; they might-as-well give it a shot.
"After you Dr. Cavanaugh" Lily said motioning to the door. She picked up her cell phone and called a tow truck from the elevator, and by the time they were on their floor a tow truck was on its way to get Lily's car.
