Tis the season for misplaced guilt

[secondshift]

I don't think you should feel guilty for writing me being happy. Yes, of course I still miss my family and my partner every day. I always will. But it's been years now and I can tell you that Chris would not want me to spend Christmas crying over him.

I have someone who makes me happy now, actually several someones if you count work, and there's no reason both of us can't enjoy that.

I do my best to make you happy.

[secondshift]

You make me very happy. Please don't think that you don't just because I lost my family.

I think my husband would approve of you.

[cardiothoracic]

That means a lot to hear.

[secondshift]

It's true. You remind me of him in many ways.

Are you free for dinner? Since we apparently survived me wearing a dress I feel like we should celebrate.

[cardiothoracic]

You set it up and I am free.

[secondshift]

Here you go. I'm really glad we met, Connor. Even if it was an accident.

[cardiothoracic]

Same here, Karen.

[secondshift]

You're my favorite accident.

[cardiothoracic]

I am very glad for that.

I'm going to guess your fundraiser went well and I didn't trip in the parking lot.

[cardiothoracic]

It went amazingly well and I had the most beautiful woman there on my arm.

Please. I'm sure with you in that expensive suit of yours I nearly fainted.
