I think I like this much more than the episode itself, which filled me with so much hate. You completely nailed Abby with Abby does not cry in front of people. It is embarrassing ... That whole paragraph is spot-on, wonderful-but-painful characterization.

I confess I liked the episode a lot. I was giving these thoughts (and others like them) to Abby the whole time, so I liked it a lot.

Thanks so much for reading. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

I haven't seen this ep yet, but never mind, this was top class as always. Brilliant descriptions, especially the crying in the bathroom and I loved the way the city passed by as she was in the car. A pleasure as always.

Thank you! I hope you enjoy the episode, too.

She imagines lying here with Susan, taking corners, the top of Chicago over their heads, and their hands clasped together in the cold darkness, because she doesn't want to die alone.
Loved it! Great part.

Luka and Carter are the ones she sees bent over her. Of course. Luka and Carter.
Ooh, I liked that, too. And it never occurred to me that they would put her in a trauma room. It makes so much sense. Haha.

Great job. I really wanted to see this. *sighs*

Thanks! :)

Yeah, I figured they wouldn't know the blood came from anyone else, since they wouldn't know she had been with anyone else all that time. But yeah, I wish we had seen it instead...that's what I was waiting for all episode!

Wow ... I can't believe I've only just found this! I downloaded the episode a couple of weeks ago and I was so pissed at the writers for copping out at the end ... but this was great. Thank you for writing it. I love the way you write Abby. Especially when Susan's involved. :)

Thank you! Yeah, that was a seriously cheap ending. And honestly, I just don't think you can ever go wrong with Abby and Susan...it's not me, it's them. :)
