The following morning, Luke found himself once again heading for Dr. Oliver’s office. They had a standing appointment to meet at 9 am everyday so that Luke could continue to learn what’s necessary to running a successful neuro wing, from equipment to staffing to patient accommodations.

He couldn’t help but feel a flutter in his stomach at seeing

I've found that most people are fairly ignorant about the totality of what was included in the DADT legislation. Most only know about the literal meaning behind the title.

I mentioned to someone else that it was kind of hard for me to leave Scott in the closet...in Afghanistan, no less. I may have to give him a better ending sometime in the future. I'm not usually interested in writing sequels, but if it continues to bother me...

When you mentioned Luke's ignorance of DADT, I thought you were referring to the fact that there were also protections from harassment under the legislation as well (so, in a sense, I was kind of defending a portion of DADT), as Martha pointed out. I didn't make the connection that you were referring to Luke's interference.

My defense of him is that he's young and a little bit naive...I don't think it occurred to him that Scott might want to maintain the status quo once it was no longer legally necessary for him to do so.

We both know that your every thought must be voiced.”

Reid nodded and motioned with his hand for Luke to continue. “I’m sorry, I just can’t understand how you can sell yourself so short. Look at you. You’re this good-looking, successful neurosurgeon…neurosugeon, for crap’s sake…and you’re willing to be someone’s dirty little secret? That just does not compute for me. God, aren‘t you sick of it? If not, you certainly should be.”

The way you switched some of Reidianisms with Lukeianisms is brilliant!

Thank you...I wasn't sure how that would come off!

yeah, i don't know about this. scott isn't out to anyone. i don't see that changing after the 20th. reid, you know better than that. you are insanely secure in yourself. i don't really see how you are ok with scott not being the same. time will tell. don't get me wrong, i like scott. the little i know of him. but, it's an accident waiting to happen. but, at least reid and luke are getting to know one another a little better.
