[For George]

It only figures, Sarah believes. She gets a doctor and almost can put her trust in the woman and suddenly, she's gone. Just like she's dropped out of time, gone. And really, she knows that the woman had a husband and child and she has no claim. Still, she's relieved that at least the husband hasn't been left behind.

This leaves her with no doctor, though. At least, not yet. She has a chance, though. When it comes time for his clinic shift, that's when she shows up at the door, arms crossed and leaning against the doorway. "Hi," is all she manages with a tight smile, as if somehow he could read her mind and figure out what she's doing there.

He'd have to give the file a thorough look later, but Ellie had been the kind of doctor George had been happy to work with -- nice, personable, and neater than most. "Well, right now I'll give you a physical, and use today's results as...kind of a measure of sorts, for the next couple of months."

Sarah presses her lips together and debates whether she should be honest before or whether he's going to find out after. "There are some...I've got some..." she's stammering, slightly, but what could be seen as anxiety is just worry that she won't be able to come up with a story. "My life hasn't always been so calm," she settles on saying. "And I haven't always known the best of men."
