CHAPTER FORTY FIVE piece of my heart. season four, episode thirteen.
"THERE SHE IS," MARK GRINNED WHEN HE SAW WHO CAME THROUGH THE DOOR TO THE LAB.Addison, who was back in town from Los Angeles for a case, waved at him as she moved to stand over his shoulder.
"Just coming in to check on my patient's skin flap," she said, checking his progress.
"Amazing, right?" he boasted, pointing to what he was working on. "I pulled a couple of stem cells from the baby in utero, six weeks later, I have grown skin. Like god."
"This place is exactly the same," Addison laughed. "You are exactly the same."
At that moment, Cassie walked in with a grin on her face. Things between her and Mark had become a bit less awkward over the past few days, though the tension was thicker than ever.
"Hey Mark, I grabbed you some—" Cassie cut herself off when she saw who was standing in the room. "—coffee."
Addison shuffled her feet. "Hey."
Slowly, Cassie stepped right past her, setting the coffee down on the desk next to Mark. He raised a brow, confused as ever. "Cass, what's going o—"
"Hey?" Cassie whipped around and raised her voice at the redhead, who was startled by her outburst. "You move to LA without so much as a goodbye, and you have the audacity to say hey?"
Addison looked to Mark for help, who was trying to hold back an amused smile. "Sorry?"
"You leave for months, after I finally got over everything that had happened in the past, after you practically begged me to forgive you, without saying goodbye, and you say hey?"
Cassie had her arms crossed over her chest as she stared down the attending.
Addison, who had expected this to happen, took a deep breath, and moved to grab something out of a small cardboard box she'd brought with her.
Mark raised a brow in curiosity, before freezing in his place in shock once he saw what it was.
Addison smiled, reaching into the box and pulling out a tiny orange kitten, no bigger than the size of a cup.
Cassie's eyes widened so much that they looked like they would pop out of her head at any given moment.
