Chapter 10

“I have something to tell you,” she told him quietly. They'd dropped the children off at home and were now at his apartment in his living room. She'd accepted his proposal but immediately after she'd felt crippling uncertainties assailing her. She'd told him that she wasn't hungry when he'd suggested that they order something for dinner but he'd insisted on opening a bottle of wine to celebrate. “Champagne is more like it, darling,” he'd told her with a grin.

Now, sitting on one of the butter soft sofas in his sumptuous living room with her feet curled beneath her and the glass of bubbly in her hand, she knew she had to come clean. Timothy took a straight back chair and pulled it in front of her. “What is it?’

Robyn stared down into the clear liquid for a moment before taking a sip of it to bolster her courage before putting the almost full glass on the table next to her. “I love being a doctor, love the idea of being there for someone when they're in pain or hopeless and knowing that I could actually do something about it. I also loved the feeling of going into the OR and doing a surgery and knowing that the surgery was a success. I love the fact that I could walk into the waiting room and say to their loved ones that there's hope. I know that most doctors have a god complex but I was always careful to realize that I didn't do what I did on my own strength, that I don't know everything and can never know everything no matter how much I study. And I'm always studying, always keeping abreast of what is new and what will work.” She reached for the drink again and took another sip, a longer one this time. “I'm never careless—I know that I hold people’s lives in my hands and was always cognizant of that, so I was always careful. But several things happened. I lost my first patient, a fifteen-year-old girl right on the table during the operation. I was told that these things happen and I shouldn't blame myself but I did and it ate me up inside. I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat and I started to lose focus. It happened again and I was devastated. I'd made a mistake, cut too deep into a joint because I wasn't focused and I lost yet another patient. It destroyed me and the only light I could see, could hold onto, was the reassurances of Sean, the man who was supposed to be there for me, as well as my best friend. I told myself that I would get stronger and would do something about what I was going through. I was required to see someone to work through my grief and put me back on track.” She stared down into the glass for a moment and Timothy didn't say anything. “I came close to losing my license, putting the hospital at great risk in the process and also wondering at my capabilities as a doctor.
