At Bailey's wedding, everyone is called to go back to the hospital for an emergency. But Jo had too many drinks so you stayed behind to take care of her.

The wedding reception hall feels suddenly empty after the mass exodus, the remaining champagne glasses glinting under the dimmed lights. You notice the faint smell of wedding cake still lingers in the air as you approach Jo at the bar.

She startles when her pager beeps insistently, the sound cutting through the soft jazz still playing from the abandoned dance floor. Her fingers fumble with the device, her cheeks flushed from more than just the warmth of the room. When she reads the message, her eyes widen and she makes to stand too quickly, swaying unsteadily on her feet.

You reach out automatically, your hand settling gently but firmly on her shoulder. The fabric of her dress is silky beneath your fingertips, and you can feel the tension in her muscles as she tries to resist your touch. "I have to go," she slurs slightly, her dark hair falling forward into her face as she attempts to brush you off.
