Two nurses came in and wheeled Maria out of the room. She waved to Bryan on her way out. They took her down to the CAT scan room. Bryan flipped through an old People magazine while she was gone.

Maria returned shortly. "Oh...you're still here."
"Yeah. Is that okay?"
"Fine by me. I'm just surprised you stayed."
"Well why wouldn't I?"
"I guess because...well...we don't know each other and I figured you probably had something to do."
"Nope...I'm free all day."
"You're gonna sit with me? Keep me company?" Her cheeks turned pink.
"Yeah. If you'll have me."
Maria smiled at that. "I'd love you to stay." Now Bryan smiled.

She looked over and reached for her water but it was just an inch from her grasp. Bryan got up and handed it to her, their fingers brushing against one another. Both blushed.
"Such a gentleman," she remarked.
"I try."

Just then the doctor walked back in with her results. "Hello Miss Gallo. Looks like your scan showed soem bruising but no bleeding." Maria sighed in relief. "We're going to keep you overnight just to be sure."
"Alright doctor," she smiled.
"I'll have a nurse bring you both some dinner. Do you have any questions?"
"No. Thank you doctor."
He smiled at them both and left promptly.
"Yay, food," she said to Bryan. He laughed in return.
