No matter how hard she tried, Abby couldn't get her mind off Neela's emails. She wandered out to the ambulance bay to wait for an incoming trauma. Shivering in the cold, Abby pulled her lab coat tighter around herself. Trying to figure out who could be sending the emails, Abby didn't hear Pratt come up behind her.
"I thought you were gone." His voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Nah, I told Luka I'd bring this trauma in." She replied.
"I got it. Go on home." He offered.
"It's all right. I'm not in any hurry." Abby said.
Truth be told, she didn't want to go home. She wanted to talk Neela but she knew it was rare for her and Ray to have the same night off and she didn't want to interrupt.
"All right, suit yourself." Pratt said, pulling the backdoor of the ambulance open and setting to work.
"Who was that?" Ray asked, walking out of the bathroom, wrapping in just a towel.
"Wrong number." Neela shrugged, turning back to her macaroni and cheese.
Ray raised an eyebrow in confusion. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her back again him. "You okay?"
Neela closed her eyes. "You don't think Tony would come back now, right?"
Surprised at the mention of Gates, Ray turned Neela around and pulled her into his arms. "I think he'd be very stupid to do so."
Neela sighed but didn't respond. She just let Ray hold her, feeling safe in his arms.
AN: Sorry it's so short, just a filler really.
Does anyone else think that Thursday nights episode was foreshadowing something between Ray & Neela? The picture and not staying at Tony's thing? Maybe it's just wishful thinking.. haha
Also, if I were to write a Doug/Carol story, would anyone read it? They remind me of Ray & Neela so I figured I'd give that a try too.
