It had been hours since he'd left his shift at the hospital. Alex tossed and turned in bed. How the hell could he compete with a dying man? It frightened him on how Izzie had grown attached to Denny. If it had been anyone else, he would had down right punched the guy out to have ruined their relationship. Okay, he thought to himself. He was the opposite from Denny. Arrogant vs. Niceness. And Denny seemed to have won this round.
Izzie had been upset with Alex. Why the hell had he told Denny about their relationship? She was furious, but she knew deep down that Alex felt threatened and he should be. She had never been involved with a patient until Denny came along. She knew the rules. But, her heart ruled her head. Time. Surgery would allow more time for Denny and he agreed to it, just as long as she'd be with him everyday. And Izzie promised him that. Sometimes promises were meant to be broken. But, not this time.
