In the midst of a rather uneventful afternoon spent in a solitude, Kathy finds herself pouring over a book ('The Hobbit'), the radio playing in the background, tuned to a station dedicated to country music. She is somewhat surprised at herself when she lowers the book to sing along, feeling rather when she discovers that she knows all of the words

I Hope You Dance

[john_carter_md]

Carter leans down to grab Rusty before the kitten has a chance to get out the door. Carrying the small ball of fur inside, he gently kicks the door closed. He can hear Kathy singing, and moves slowly tot he doorway, hoping not to interrupt her.

Her voice is soothing, and a erfect companion to the music coming from the radio.

When the song finishes, she freezes, looking to the closed door warily. She then reaches out, turns the doorknob, and pulls the door open, stepping back to find none other than Carter. She gasps in surprise, then laughs a little, before promptly flushing red.

"Sorry about that."

"What are you sorry about? Because, that was wonderful."

[kathy_tm]

"You can't be serious," she protests, her color deepening even further.

Re: I Hope You Dance

[john_carter_md]

"I am serious. I couldn't tell what wa the radio and what was you. You've got talent there, little missy. And a lot of it. Did you ever have any vocal training?"

Re: I Hope You Dance

[kathy_tm]

She beams. "No...I've never exactly sung for anyone before."

Re: I Hope You Dance

[john_carter_md]

"Raw talent like what I just heard is pretty rare. It's a gift."

Re: I Hope You Dance

[kathy_tm]

She grins, wringing her hands modestly.

"Thank you."

Re: I Hope You Dance

[john_carter_md]

"I should be thanking you." Carter smiles. "I want you to think about doing something with that talent. If you want lessons, I'll pay for it. ANd don't you dare say you won't hear of it. I've got more money than I need,a nd a gift like that needs to b recognised and used."

Re: I Hope You Dance

[kathy_tm]

A gift?

She continues to beam, the colour remaining in her cheeks.

"Lessons? From whom?"

Re: I Hope You Dance

[john_carter_md]

"A vocal coach, I believe that's what they're called. I treated a woman in the ER a couple weeks ago who said that's what she did." He shrugs. "I don't remember much, I was more concerned about her fractured femur, but I could look into it."

Re: I Hope You Dance

[kathy_tm]

She only hugs him.

Re: I Hope You Dance

[john_carter_md]

"I'll take that as a yes?" He grins at her.

Re: I Hope You Dance

[kathy_tm]

She grins back.

"Maybe," she responds teasingly.

Re: I Hope You Dance

[john_carter_md]

"Think about it, let me know what you decide." He gives her a small smile that says he really hopes she pursues this.

Re: I Hope You Dance

[kathy_tm]

She bites her lip in consideration, then looks back up at Carter.

"I decide that I'd like t'be better at singin'."
