Although, he couldn't quite put his finger on the feeling, he knew it was something new.
Izzie felt the silence and quickly reacted by saying,
"If you have any other questions, please feel free to page me."
"Yeah, sure.. uh.. Dr. Stevens?" Denny intervened right as she was about to step out the door.
"Yes?"
"Can you give me that number?"
Her face flushed in embarrassment as she realized she hadn't given it to him. "Oh, I'm sorry, here's my card, everything is on there." she said as she gave a apologetic smile. As she walked out of the room, she smiled at her mishap and then spotted Meredith leaning over the counter looking over the various patient's charts. The look on Meredith's face only conveyed one thing.
"Long night?"
"I hate hangovers"
Izzie smiled as she responded, "I would feel bad for you... if you weren't sleeping with our boss."
"Is that all you see now when you look at me? I mean seriously, it feels like even on my grave it will just say, slept with boss."
As Izzie walked away she laughingly said, "I think that would be perfect for your headstone. In fact, I think that's what I'll most mourn... the fact that the joke would be gone to hell... literally.."
She heard Meredith mutter, "thanks" right before she walked out of earshot. She rounded the corner and spotted Bailey punching at the vending machine trying to pry something out. Izzie turned right back around to avoid contact and hounding.
"Stevens, are you ignoring me?"
Too late, she thought.
"Of course not."
"Good. Then you won't mind getting me my damn Snickers out of the machine, while I quickly see if my lab results are back yet."
"Fine with me" she said with a forced smile.
"I know it is." Bailey said with her ever present glare.
As soon as Izzie tried to make the machine give her the Snickers, she received a page that said: 911. Her heart stopped for a second as she realized that John was her only patient right now. She quickly dropped the issue of the Snickers and ran towards John's room. When she arrived there, she saw Denny and Kate's pale face and suddenly pressed the code blue button as the not so familiar flat line seared into her.
Denny and Kate were quickly ushered out of the room while Izzie was forced to put on gloves and all the other protective gear to try and revive John.
