Chapter Two

That evening, Ben pedaled his bike home from the hospital through rain-soaked streets until his thighs burned and his lungs choked on the cold night air. It would be summer in another two months, but for now he’d have to endure rain that gave so much life to the city. Normally he enjoyed the twenty minute ride, but tonight he just wanted to get through his front door and calm the fuck down. He’d focused during his two remaining surgeries, but the rest of the day had been consumed by memories of Miggie.

Margaret… Her name’s Margaret, old man, and you’re no longer in college together. You’re colleagues in the same hospital so get it the hell together.

Ben hung his bike in the mudroom, before peeling off his dripping wet raingear. Frick and Frack were immediately wrapping their long, furry bodies around his legs, pawing at the puddles of water left on the floor. He’d gotten the brothers as kittens five years ago - after his divorce from Michelle. He’d always thought of himself as a dog person, but between living alone and his unpredictable surgeon hours, these two suited him fine. More than fine, really - he loved the fuzzy guys.

The two cats trailed behind him as he walked into the kitchen, opened a can of their food and split it between them. Normally he’d have gotten the laser pointer out for a while to get them to blow off some energy before dinner, but tonight he had a date with a bottle of whiskey and the couch.

In his living room, Ben walked over to the liquor cabinet, poured himself two fingers of bourbon and quickly knocked it back. He savored the burn in his throat before pouring another and turning for the leather couch. Two feet away he turned, grabbed the bottle, then continued on.

Once on the worn leather couch, glass in one hand, the other rubbing tension from his brow, Ben finally allowed his thoughts to drift back to college, and to the pivotal night he learned more about himself than years of higher education ever had.

Man, I was a first-class dork back then.
