@pinkauras - Ryan & Sienna
"I still can't believe you almost let me fly past your birthday without telling me it was coming up," he sighs, mostly to himself. Since the Gala, where he'd made it more than clear that he was in this relationship for real, even going so far as to call the intern his girlfriend, he's been trying really hard to leave Sienna alone at work. While he wanted nothing more than to let the small touches and lingering looks stay between them, with all the changes in the hospital, he knew it made Sienna uneasy. Still, without her mother as his boss, he'd hoped that maybe she'd at least like neuro a little more, if only to spend time working together.
In the skills lab, they were alone, where he showed her a stitch they'd been working on again on the fake patient's skin. "And then I would've felt really dumb if I'd barged in on a birthday party that your roommates threw or I wouldn't have been able to get you the perfect gift," Ryan continues, finishing up the stitch and handing the needle and thread to Sienna. The gift, however rushed it may have been, had come from the heart. He'd made a coupon for Sienna offering a free pass on any surgery she wanted, which would allow her to open or close and serve as his second. While it wasn't plastics, he'd thought of trying to get Ade to hand over a similar deal, but the secret would've been in far too much jeopardy that way, and he wouldn't take the risk. The coupon, flowers, dinner, hot sex, and a little more patience would have to do -- for now.
