Summary: Vera knows she's making bad choices.
She lets him into her apartment knowing exactly what’s going to happen.
Hippocrates wouldn’t approve, she thinks somewhere in between, “god, it’s been a long time,” and a quick “fuck you” to her ex-husband as she runs her hands down Rex’s muscular arms.
Vera knows she’s already done things that would have the ancient Greek rolling in grave. Those choices were in the name of doing the best for her patients in an impossible situation.
As she tastes the musky, salty skin on Rex’s leg, she offers one last thought to the father of modern medicine.
This one’s for me.
