Title: I spoke to you in cautious tones (You answered me with no pretense)
Fandom: Grey's Anatomy
Characters/Pairings: Cristina Yang, Burke/Cristina; mentions of Owen/Cristina and a blink-and-you-miss-it moment between Jackson and Cristina
Rating: PG, I guess, but it doesn't have to be
Warnings/Spoilers: Vague mentions to season six; but if you're up to date with GA then you're golden.
Word Count: 4500, approx.
Summary: So he doesn't, just purses his lips and holds the door open; figures he's pretty lucky that she's even here, and knows that anything resembling an 'I told you so' or even ’I’m glad you came’ is going to make her leave (a Cristina-shaped hole in the door for him to run his hands over in place of the real thing), and he's not sure he can watch her walk away again. A happy ending in reverse.

Author’s Note: First fic for a while in this fandom. Ever-so-nervous. I hope it's good enough, Jer.
