Dr. Elsa

There is another woman already. Did I really mean that little to him? He has taken over all of my senses these past few weeks. How has he had such an effect on me within such a short period of time? I stared across at Alan, who was sitting opposite a woman I didn’t recognize. What I would give to take the woman away from him and replace her. Dylan and I had decided to go out to have lunch since he insisted that I had been withdrawn and grumpy recently. I had been surprised to walk in and see Alan on a date with another woman.

He doesn't want you anymore. He made that clear, remember? Why are you still hung up on him? But I couldn’t take my eyes off him.

"Let me guess, he’s the reason for your grumpy behavior since you returned from that dinner?" Dylan said, cutting into my reverie and making me pull my eyes away from Alan’s table.

"I have no idea what you are talking about," I said with a shrug as I tried to concentrate on the cookies in front of me.

"Come on, sis, there has to be an explanation for your grumpy behavior. You aren't your usual cheerful self, and it's disheartening. Do you not want me around anymore?" Dylan asked, worry etched across his face.

"What? No, Dylan, this isn't about you," I said as I stopped myself from looking in Alan's direction again.

"It's about him, isn't it?" Dylan said as he nodded towards Alan.

"Can we just focus on our lunch?" I said with an exasperated sigh.

"No, we can’t. Not when I can help you," Dylan said with a shrug while I stared miserably at him.

"Just drop it, Dylan," I sighed.

"No, I need you to tell me what's going on. It's obvious you really like him, and maybe I have to talk to him to make him see what he is about to throw away," Dylan said confidently.

"It's obvious there is nothing you can do because, as you can see, he is with someone else," I said.

"That? Trust me, there is nothing between those two. Did you not notice the way both of you were staring at each other moments ago? The heat could be felt throughout the room," he said as he gave me a sympathetic look.

Is Dylan telling the truth? Were we that obvious? I thought as I glanced back at Alan. I need to leave here before I cross over to their table and demand that he explain why he treated me like trash after such a special night.

"Dylan, I'm sorry, but we really need to go somewhere else," I said.

"What, because of him? Listen, Elsa, you can't keep running from this," he said. “Whatever this actually is.”

"Well, he has been doing that so easily for weeks, why can't I?" I snapped before I could help myself.

"For weeks?" Dylan said and I watched a calculative look spread across his face.

"Oh, my goodness, he works at the hospital too and he also went to that dinner.
