“What a lovely wedding! Neela is just so beautiful.” Haleh’s voice wobbled as she was observing the newly-wed couple.
“Are you still crying? Oh Haleh!” Chuny took her in a warm embrace and happily rocked her. “You’re such a romantic.”
“I always cry at weddings. And this one was beautiful.” The older nurse smiled and escaping the hug, reached for a handkerchief in her purse.
“You’re not crying because Kovac didn’t show up and you can’t observe him with Abby.” Frank hadn’t been able to resist the temptation to tease her. She turned around and gave him a scolding look.
“Of course not.” She shook her head vehemently and added sure of herself. “And he is coming, I know that.”
“How can you possibly know that?” The older man wondered.
“Abby has been checking the door about 10 times in the last 15 minutes. As basically the only person missing is Luka, it’s safe to assume that he’ll show up.” She wiped her eyes and defiantly looked at him.
“Well you can’t know that for sure, maybe she is just waiting for Clemente.” He comically pronounced the doctor’s name and Chuny couldn’t help laughing.
“Very funny, Frank!” Haleh answered and shrugged.
“What is funny?” Abby had come out of nowhere. The startled looks of her friends made her frown. What had they been talking about? In the last weeks, she had noticed more than once that their conversations stopped when she approached.
“Ohh, how life is full of surprises!” Chuny was the quickest to recover. “Who would have thought this morning, that there was going to be a wedding?”
“Yeah, certainly not me! And once again I’m the maid of honor.” Abby relaxed. Maybe she was simply paranoid, surely they hadn’t been talking about her! “At least this time I could wear what I wanted. I still remember this pale green taffetas dress Marcy Andrews forced us to wear on her wedding.” She chuckled. “And I thought I was her friend. Believe me this particular shade of green isn’t very flattering.”
“Your turn will come.” Haleh patted her arm.
“What?” Abby looked at her friend quizzically. Suddenly understanding downed upon her. She gave out a little laugh. “Oh! I certainly hope not. I’ve been down this road once and that was enough for a lifetime.”
“Your first husband just wasn’t the right guy for you.” Haleh explained her. “Your One and Only One might still be out there, looking for you.”
“Yeah, right! Poor guy!” The young doctor chuckled at the idea. “And when he finally finds me after all those years, he’ll be up for one big disappointment! I wouldn’t wish me on my worst enemy.” She stopped laughing and became serious. “Ugh, this kind of didn’t sound right.” She held her glass up and giggled. “I swear this is only Club Soda.” Her friends laughed at her little banter.
“I think some people are missing. What do you think, Chuny?” Haleh looked around, pretending to be checking the people present. “I don’t see Sam, Clemente or Kovac.”
“Sam said she couldn’t make it.” Chuny teasingly frowned at her friend. Was she fishing for information again? “She couldn’t find a baby sitter at such short notice and Alex has an important test to write tomorrow...”
“Luka said he would come to the reception.” Abby answered most to the older woman’s satisfaction. “He had some stuff to finish. Whatever that was...”
“Oh... and Clemente?” Frank enquired.
“I don’t know about Clemente.” Abby sobered up and squinted at his little jest.
“So you’re not chummy anymore?” The desk clerk wondered.
“We just went out once. Is this going to haunt me for the rest of my life?” She asked her friends. “He practically begged me to go out with him and I gave in.” All three knowingly smiled. “And it wasn’t a date.”
“Hmm...” Haleh took a sip from her drink. She half-heartedly nodded, pretending she didn’t believe her.
“I guess you were there, you must know that better than me.” Chuny added.
“Yeah, damn right.” Abby crossed her arms and resolutely nodded.

Here is the update for today. It's a long one, so I hope it will make up for the delay. I'm not sure if there will be one tomorrow, as I reach the point where both stories need to be surgically separated.
“Still not here?” Chuny asked Haleh. She had been staring at the entrance since Abby had left them to talk with Neela.
“No, he must be damn busy…” Suddenly her eyes lit up. “Oh, here he comes. Finally! He sure knows ”
“Haleh.” Frank came closer to the nurse and put his hand on her shoulder. “Had Kovac known that you were so desperately waiting for him to show up, he would have come earlier.” His little jest made Chuny and Jerry chuckled. Haleh shook her head.
“Oh yeah... Blah blah blah, Frank.” With a shrug, the nurse turned her attention to Luka.
“Well now that he is finally here, we have something to entertain ourselves.”
“Haleh, this is a wedding. There are plenty of fun things to do.” Chuny noted. “Didn’t we speak about leaving Abby and Luka by themselves for the evening?”
“Yeah we did. But as they are both here, it can’t hurt watching them...” Haleh answered. Her friends laughed. “What is wrong with that?”
“Nothing is wrong.” Frank and Jerry exchanged knowing looks. “This is totally normal.”
“Completely.” Chuny agreed, winking at the men.
“Hmm, it’s a pity he wears a lab coat the whole day…” Haleh sighed.
“Well, it’s better than scrubs!” Chuny remarked.
“I don’t know with scrubs, we could better see his…”
“Ladies, please!” Frank lifted his right hand. “I thought we had agreed that those discussions were only to be held with no man present.” Both women smirked at their colleagues.
“That’s true, Haleh. We shouldn’t forget that they have fragile egos. You know they’re getting older...” Chuny reminded the other woman.
“Yeah, mock us. That’s fine. Jerry, some women just can’t appreciate what they have.”
“Oh, but we appreciate. That’s one fine piece of doctor.” Haleh laughed as Frank rolled his eyes and sighed.
“Yeah, whatever. Is Kovac still talking with Neela and Michael? I can’t see him from here.”
“Yes, he is. But he has discreetly been where Abby was. I think it won’t be long before he join her for a little chat.” Chuny observed.
“Oh I think, I need to chat with her too.” In a second Haleh was gone.
“Haleh!” Chuny called after her.
“She’s hopeless.” Frank sighed as he watched her reach Abby. “You realize that if those two hook up again, we have lost her forever.”
“Do you think they will cut the cake soon?”
“I have no clue.” Abby looked at her friend and wondered where this question had come from. “Why don’t you ask Neela?”
“I don’t want to bother her on her wedding day. It sure looks yummy.” She smiled and she sat down next to her.
“What the cake?” Abby disbelieving wondered. Haleh cheerfully nodded and for the life of her, the young woman couldn’t understand the sudden enthusiasm.
“Yeah!” Haleh hadn’t listened to the question. Her shout came as she finally saw Luka making his way towards them.
“I guess so, if you’re into that kind of things.” Abby giggled at her friend’s apparent eagerness for cake.
“Oh Dr. Kovac! What took you so long?” She smiled as he joined them. Abby turned around, pleased by his presence.
“I tried to save Maureen the temp from Clemente’s clutches.” His eyes were full of mischief. “But I must say that sadly I failed.” He theatrically sighed. “I need a beer to get over that.”
“Oh don’t take it so hard.” Abby giggled. “She’ll survive. She is safe at County, what can happen to her?”
“Well I don’t know…” He raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
“Oh Kovac, you have one dirty mind.” Abby laughed at his little joke.
“You haven’t seen the way, he was ogling her. You had a lucky escape.”
“Define lucky?” She leaned against the counter and waited for his answer. Haleh was entranced by the little exchange. This was better than going to the movies.
“Abby, would you like to dance?” The older nurse turned around to look at the intruder. How could someone come now and disturb them? She had been waiting for something like this for weeks.
“Dance… I’m not much into dancing, Malik. Sorry!” She turned towards her friend. “Why don’t you ask Haleh? She always loves to dance. Don’t you?” Haleh disbelievingly looked at both of them. She sure didn’t want to go dancing now. She had far better to do.
“I don’t know, Malik. My feet hurt a little tonight.” She looked at the male nurse and tried to get the message to him. Sadly he didn’t seem to get it.
“Oh, come on. I couldn’t take a second no.” Malik put his hand on his heart. Haleh sighed.
“Okay, let’s go.” She smiled at both doctors and followed Malik’s lead. As soon as she was out of hearing range, she curtly asked him. “Do you realize what you just did?”
“I invited you to dance!” The young man was taken aback by her tone.
“You prevented me from listening to them. I had a front-row seat and you took me away from it. It was getting interesting. They were definitely flirting with each other.” She longingly looked back at the couple.
“Haleh, you’re obsessed.” Malik noted. “They were just chatting, nothing is happening. They’re not even touching.”
“Well, but they are damn close.”
“You need to see a doctor, and by that I mean one for your head. You’re scaring me.”

Here is an update. enjoy and thanks for all the nice feedback. You're all so good for my ego “Malik must really have a death wish.” Chuny said as she watched her friends on the dance floor. “Why didn’t you stop him, when he went there to invite her?” “He wanted to invite Abby.” Frank curtly answered. “Abby never dances and you know that.” “Well maybe I forgot.” His smile proved the contrary. “Yeah sure.” Chuny chuckled. “I never thought Haleh would accept.” “Neither did I. She had been waiting for something like that the whole evening.” “She had been waiting for something like that for weeks. Poor Haleh!” Chuny glanced at Abby and Luka. “They sure seem cozy. I wonder what they are talking about.” “Probably congratulating themselves for having gotten rid of Haleh that easily.” Frank grinned and winked at his friends. “You’re so mean.” Jerry laughed. “Oh, our dancers are coming back.” “Haleh, you shake it like a pro, you go girl! You showed them all!” Chuny smiled as her friend sat down next to her. “Yeah. Once I was dragged on the dance floor, I thought I should give my best.” Haleh looked reproachfully at Malik. “I told you, I’m sorry.” The young man grumbled, rolling his eyes. “If I had known, how much spying on them meant to you, I would never have asked.” Chuny and Jerry laughed at his comment and Frank scratched his head, trying hard not to burst out laughing himself. “But once Abby said I should invite you, it would have been strange, if I hadn’t.” “You shouldn’t at least have insisted, when I said no the first time.” “Yeah, yeah, whatever.” He looked around and spotted Neela and Michael near the cake. “Ah! I think they plan to cut the cake. Let’s join them! Haleh, do you have your camera?” “Of course. You know I love to take pictures. Those numeric ones are just so handy, they fit in every woman’s purse.” Everyone stared at her. “What?” “You’re not planning to …” Chuny wondered. “This thought hadn’t even touched my mind.” Haleh sounded genuinely shocked. She looked over at Luka and Abby, who were making their way towards the newlyweds. “But who knows, it might become…” “No way.” Chuny shook her head. “That’s a big no. I want you to promise me, you won’t do that kind of nonsense.” “We might need it!” “Need it?” Malik wondered. “In case the others don’t believe us!” Haleh’s answer had her friends look at each other. “I already told you, Haleh. You need help.” The young stared at his friend disbelievingly. “Okay, let’s join them and get a piece of cake.”
