Author's Note: I am out of town for a few days so I updated with two chapters, thank you so much for the reviews I really appreciate them!
Chapter 3
Abby was never one to believe in fate, or love at first site. And up until now, she
had always thought that she would never see Carter again, but there he was right
in front of her and although she had known he was back, nothing could have
prepared her for this moment.He looks the same, she thought.Carter had been
occupied by the chart he was holding, but then he looked up. Their eyes met, and
Carter's mouth turned upwards into a smile. He walked over to his old friend,
Abby looked up half smiling,"Hey stranger,"
"Hey," they hugged in awkward way, which was painfully obvious as they each
stumbled for words. Carter looked at her, beautiful as ever. Her hair was much
darker now like it had been before they started dating, and her bangs covered her
deep brown eyes, the eyes he once fell into.
"How are you?" Abby managed to get out.
"Fine, I'm fine. You look…" Carter cursed himself how painfully stupid he must
sound now.
"Yeah you too," Abby quickly finished.
"So," Abby began, "What brings you back to Chicago? Are you here for good or...?" Abby let the question dangle a moment.
"I'm here for good, I think." He quickly responded.
Abby smiled once again, "Alright well I got a patient waiting to head up to surgery…"
"Yeah," Carter said, "Coffee later?"
"Um," Abby paused, "Yeah coffee later."
And as Carter watched Abby walk away, he had to stop and take a deep breath, because
she had just taken his away.
