don't stand so close to me
season three, episode ten !








"Happy Birthday!" Marnie exclaimed, zipping up her jacket as she approached her stepbrother in the Seattle Grace car park.

The man in question, who was grabbing his things out of his car, almost jumped right out of his skin at the sound of her voice. "Jesus, Marnie," He breathed, narrowly avoiding hitting his head on the roof as he got out, clutching his chest. "You almost gave me a heart attack."

The blonde seemed unfazed and almost amused by his reaction, merely pulling an envelope out of her handbag and holding it out in front of her, "I got you a card." She grinned.

Jake let out a shaky breath as he got over his initial shock, a genuine smile creeping onto his face as she handed him the envelope, "Aw, thanks, Marn."

Cristina was prepared to endanger Mr O'Malley's life, and to Marnie, that was inexcusable.

"Maybe she'll be on the 'look, don't touch' patrol." Izzie pondered as she put on her sneakers. "At least then I'd have some company."

Alex shrugged his shoulders, putting on his lab coat, "Well, whatever she gets I hope it's bad. Really bad."

The Grey woman rolled her eyes at his comment, letting out a small sigh. "She made a mistake. We've all—"
