The songs played on and Carter kept a steady gaze on Abby and Jake. But she never seemed to notice him. Her head was resting on Jake's chest and she'd look up with those beautiful eyes and kiss him lightly on the cheek.

"Carter? Carter!" Wendall said.

"yeah" Carter replied

"You seem a bit distracted"

"Only because you're so beautiful" he replied

Wendall gave his a quick kiss "I'll be back in a bit. I need to go talk to Neela."

Carter looked over toward Abby again, but Jake was gone. As Carter made his way across the room Comfortable by John Mayer came on.

"Hey there"

"Hi"

"Susan sure knows how to throw a party huh?"

"Yeah"

"Where'd Jake run off to."

"Oh. He just wanted to ask Luka a few questions. He's nervous about graduation and all."

"Understandable." They stood there for another moment not quite sure what to say.

"Would you like to dance?" Carter finally asked.

"I'm sure Jake will be back soon." Abby said, trying not to meet his gaze.

"Please, just one song" She looked up at him and into those huge brown eyes that had done her in so many times before. Carefully he took her hand and led her back on to the floor.

Our love was
Comfortable
And so broken in

She's perfect
So flawless
Or so they say

Could this really be happening? She hadn't felt this close to Carter in so long. She glanced over at Susan who smiled a bit. And Sam just looked at her with a slight nod. She tried to keep some space between them, but part of her longed to feel him engulf her in his arms again.

She thinks I can't see
The smile that she's faking
Poses for pictures
That aren't being taken

"Abby"

I love you

"Yes, Carter?"

Grey sweat pants

"You look so beautiful tonight"

No make up

"You look pretty good yourself"

So perfect

Our love was
Comfortable
And so broken in

She's perfect
So flawless
I'm not impressed
I want you back

Abby turned her head to check where Jake was, but he and Luka were now surrounded by all the other med students. Carter pulled her closer and she looked up into his eyes.

"John…"

"shhhh" he hushed "Come with me." He took her by the hand and led her out into the garden.
