The First Time's Never the Last

"Jake, come on let me talk to you. Just let me explain!"
"You know, I never really understood why people said that. What is there to explain? I saw it. I know what happened."
Abby continued after Jake storming down the hall.
"No, just --! It wasn't what it looked like!"
Jake kept walking without looking at Abby.
"Oh, no? It wasn't two ex-lovers, neither of which are over each other, secretly making out on your bed? No? It wasn't you sitting 5 feet from ME and yet reuniting with your ex-boyfriend who still loves you?"
"No!"
"So what was it? The two of you having an innocent conversation and it just… happened! You were upset and he was comforting you? Right?"
"Jake--"
"It's ok. I figured something was happening."
"No, Jake! Nothing was happening! This was the first time!"
"Well, don't let me be the reason it's the last!"
"Jake!"
Jake reached the Ambulance Bay doors and Abby decided it was too cold to go chasing him through the snow in her hospital gown. Luka and Abby exchanged a glance, Luka shaking his head in shame and Abby awkwardly trying to find something to look at. Luka walked out the doors.
"Jake! You can't leave yet! You're still very injured! You need to stay for a little longer! Jake, come back in, don't be stupid!"
Ignoring Luka's attempt to get him to stay, Jake headed towards the El, still holding his shoes and buttoning his shirt. Abby turned around at the admit desk and saw Carter staring at her from down the hallway.

A few days later, Abby walked into Doc Magoo's for lunch. A voice came from behind her.
"You're late."
She turned around to see the speaker partially hidden behind a menu.
"You're early." Abby walked over to the booth seat being saved for her. She started to ask him what he wanted, but was immediately cut off.
"Abby, what happened?"
She looked up shocked that the question had been asked and couldn't find an answer for it. Looking around as if searching for an answer, she retreated back to gazing into his deep brown eyes. They both knew something was going on, something they both wanted, but neither of them was brave enough to say it.
