She sat there and Eric felt an intense look between them, so he left the table. Its view was a lake. A peaceful lake with a big mountain in the background.
- Hey! Said Patrick with enthusiasm.
- Hey. Ellen said looking down again.
There was a moment of silence, where it felt like the rest of the world had disappeared and it was just the two of them. Her heartbeat accelerated and so did his. The world had stopped.
Ellen felt something different, something she had never felt before. She knew that it was good but suddenly she started to feel guilty, right when her husband sent a text message.
Patrick noticed that there was something wrong with her, one moment she was happy and smiling but in that moment, after that text, her eyes filled up with tears and he just wanted to ask her what was going on or if she needed anything but he couldn't. He didn't know how to do it so he left the table to give her some privacy, but it wasn't what she needed.
Trying not to cry, Ellen went outside to breathe some fresh air. She leaned on the balcony and tears started to fell down. In that moment she felt that she wasn't alone. It was Chyler, who played Lexie Grey, Meredith's sister and they had met before during a table read.
- I'm not gonna ask if everything's okay because if it were, you wouldn't be crying, so I need to ask if there's some way I can help you. – Said Chyler
- No. Yes. I don't know. Maybe. I'm sorry; I'm just so confused that I'm being rude. I'm sorry.
- It's okay. Just don't cry or I'm gonna start crying too. – She said laughing
- Thank you – Ellen took a deep breath and made a move to hug Chyler
- No problem. I don't know what's going on, but if you need a friend, I'm here.
Chyler carried Ellen back to the table where Eric and Patrick where talking. They both smiled when she arrived and Chyler sat right next to her to make sure that everything was ok.
