Being close to someone like this who isn't James is strange. She doesn't wear her ring anymore, it was a sad reminder of how many times he'd been taken away from her. Even the staff at the clinic were calling her 'Doctor Burke' again.

But Jack is free and clear of any past ache. He's new and there aren't any hangups, no angst ridden history. Still, despite the fact that she'd very much like to kiss him, she smiles softly instead. "It's getting late. Well, it was late. Now it's really late."
