Comment: Hello guys! :) Sorry for not posting this long! Last week and this week's episode have inspired me to load something up again :) This references episode 3x17 of Doogie Howser, M.D, one of my favourite episodes of the show. I hope you like it! Thanks for all the love I'm still getting for this! (:

When you press me to your heart, I am in a world apart

Robin remembers this one particular episode of Doogie Howser, M.D. Her mum used to watch it in the nineties, and it's become the kinda thing that's always been there, even though it's just a blur. She remembers most vividly the journal entry of that episode: The down side of growing up is that sometimes doing what's best for you means breaking someone's heart.

This sentence pounds through her head like a mantra as she enters MacLaren's shortly after midnight. And she tries her best to believe it.

What she doesn't remember is the last phrase Doogie typed.

(Including your own.)
