If we're strong enough to let it in, we're strong enough to let it go.

[harrietlincoln]

is law school really what you want?

“I wish I knew the answer to that.”

[harrietlincoln]

do you think you'll ever live up to the level your siblings are at?

“I know for a fact that I never will. They will always be better than me.”

[harrietlincoln]

is there something i should know? (from ry because I couldn't pick just one)

“No...you lost the right to know anything when you moved away from me.” The bitterness clear in her voice as she spoke.

i’m not leaving you here. (from ry)

“I’m fine, I’m not that drunk. You don’t need to protect me Ryleigh, I can look after myself. I’m going to have a few more shots and then I’ll go home.”

“I’m glad you close up for your older brother.” He said with a smile. He gave her a hug and kissed her cheek. “I did.” He said. “Now catch me up on your life. Any new boys?” He asked. “Or do you not want to tell me that because you’re worried I’ll shake them down. Well, the car that Jo and I egged when that boy was mean to you was worth it.”

Harriet couldn’t help but roll her eyes as her brother asked whether there were any new boys in her life. “No. No new boys. Nothing serious anyway really. Maybe a drunk or high hook up here and there but you don’t need to know that. I don’t need you to protect me anymore, Link. I grew a back bone.” She nudged his arm slightly, she loved having him protect her and she loved that he wanted to. “How about you? What’s going on with you?”

He noticed she dropped her last name, but women did that sometimes for a variety of reasons.  It never bothered AJ.  “AJ,” he told her, keeping with the theme.  Maybe she was a woman who liked mystery.  He didn’t care.  She was beautiful.  “Can I help you find a specific room?” he offered.

“Nice to meet you AJ, pleasure is all mine.” She smirked and shook her head as he asked her if she needed help. “I’m actually on my lunch break, I work down at the coffee cart.” She bit her lip a little and smirked again. “There may be a room you can help me find...an on call room perhaps.” She’d heard plenty about what the doctors got up in them.

it’s like we’ve become strangers.

“If you texted me once in a blue moon then you wouldn’t think that. I know we have never been that close, because of our ages but I will always want to spend time with you.”

AJ glanced up from his phone when he heard someone speaking, and she was complimenting his appearance so clearly he was the only person the woman could be talking too.  He quickly looked her up and down before extending his hand.  “Well the pleasure is mine….?” he trailed off, hoping she would say her name. 

Harriet shook his hand with a smile letting her hand linger a moment longer than she probably should have. “Harriet.” She left out her surname because for once she didn’t want to be Link or Ryleigh’s sister. She was just Harriet for now. “And you are?” She raised an eyebrow and gave another smile.

[harrietlincoln]

No. I’m happy with the family that I have, I don’t need to complicate that.

“Nice to see not everything changes.  Interns are still idiots,” AJ mumbled as he plopped down into the chair at the nurses station.  He grabbed a chart and pulled a pen out.  It had already been a long morning, and he had another few hours to go before he could even think about taking a lunch break.  “Remind me again why I came back to this?”

@traumasstart​

Harriet was having a wander around the hospital on her lunch break and had decided to stop at the nurses station to send a few texts arranging another night out with her friends when she heard a voice beside her. She looked at the man who had spoken and couldn’t help but let her mouth drop a little bit, he was gorgeous. “I don’t know who you are, or where you’ve been but I’m certainly glad you’re back...wow. If only everyone around here was that good to look at.”

“I’ll have a large caramel iced coffee and a side of extra ice and then a side of H2).” He ordered in a funny voice to try to disguise himself. He had on sunglasses. “Hurry it up.” He said to his sister. He took off his glasses. “Nah, I’m fucking with you, it’s me.” He have her a smile. “So, you’re not going to greet your favorite brother or what? C’mon take a lunch break, I’ll buy you lunch.” 

Harriet knew immediately that it was her brother behind the sunglasses but decided to humour him because it seemed as though he really thought he was hilarious. She rolled her eyes as he spoke, “I’m not like you, I can’t just decide when I want to take my lunch break, but for you I’ll close up for an hour.” She took off her apron and walked around to where her brother was, she wrapped her arms around his waist. “Miss me?”

Savannah didn’t run in stilettos for just anybody, but she actually liked this intern so when Harriet passed her holding black coffee and walking towards John’s office, she was instantly running after her. “Harriet- Harriet… Harriet! Stop!” she called out, catching up to her finally and taking the hot coffee from the intern. “John’s coffee, right? He says he wants black but to him black coffee is actually black coffee with two dashes of vanilla in it,” she said, letting out a breath she’d been holding in. “Bring him that in the mood he’s in today and he would have hated it, and you would have never heard the end of it.” she explained, taking the cup to her desk and grabbing the vanilla flavoring that she kept handy in one of her drawers, to fix the coffee before it was sent through to John’s office. “See that? They don’t teach in law school.” 

Harriet was interning for John Davenport for a little bit of experience in law, this would probably be how she decided if law was what she really wanted to do with her. She grabbed John his black coffee and headed to give it to him. She heard someone running up behind and then heard her name. “Crap, oh thank you...So he was tricking me to get me into his bad books?” She couldn’t help but roll her eyes a little, he was certainly one of the most high maintenance men she had ever met. “You just seem to know him inside out. What’s your secret?”

“Sure, don’t thank me for keeping tabs on your purse and making sure it wasn’t stolen. I could have taken the cash and the weed but here I am trying to be a decent person.” Amelia grabbed her drink and began to move from the table and towards the bar. “You sound like you’ve had a rough day, don’t take it out on innocent bystanders okay?”

“You could have, but you don’t seem to be quickest so I’d have probably seen you and would’ve had to kick your ass.” She rolled her eyes a little. “Dealing with stupid people just wasn’t on my to do list for today and I had to do it...all day.” She sighed and shot the other woman an apologetic look. “You’re right, I’m sorry.”

“Unless you have what I asked Savannah two hours ago on Marshall Biotech, don’t even bother walking in. I have no time to hold your hand.”

Harriet had decided that interning with the lawyers at the hospital was a good idea to get some practice in but as John spoke she wasn’t so sure. “I wouldn’t have walked in here if I didn’t have it. I’m sure other interns have fallen at your feet, but that’s not my style.” She raised an eyebrow. “And it’ll be a hard pass on holding your hand.”

Levi studied the barista as she made coffee, and he waited for his turn to order.  She looked so familiar, but he couldn’t place her.  Maybe she just had a familiar face.  He stepped up to place his order a moment later, and passed her his card.  “Are you Ryleigh’s sister?”  he asked, noticing her name tag.  

She smiled politely and nodded. “The one and only.” She was always Atticus or Ryleigh’s sister, she never seemed to be just Harriet and that bummed her out a little but she didn’t let her smile falter. “Are you guys friends?”
