Chapter 12

Mark: "Oh give me a break. It's not as easy as it looks. Besides I don't see you jumping up to tell people about us."

Sky: "That's because I want to see what this exactly is between us before telling people. You're just scared of Derek killing you."

Mark: "I am not." he says as she walks into Chuck's room with Callie beside her
➿
Callie: "The infection's made its way deep into the bone, so we're gonna have to take the rods out of your legs..."

Mark: "And clean out the dead, infected skin and bone."

Chuck: "You mean I won't get my 2 inches? All that pain for nothing?"

Sky: "Mr. Ruben, at this point, you're lucky to keep your legs at all."

Chuck: "Yeah, that's easy for you to say. What are you, 5'8", 5'9"? I bet he's what 5'10", 5'11"?" he looks between Sky and Mark

Gary: "Leave the doctors, alone, Chuck. They're just trying to help."

Chuck: "Oh, shut up, Gary. You are over 6 feet tall. Do you have any idea what it's like to have everybody you know literally look down on you? Or how humiliating it is to have to ask for help from a teenager at the grocery store 'cause you can't reach the top shelf? I've gone on two dates in the last six months, both with women I met over the internet, and hey, no one wants to see me again because no one wants to date the short guy."

Gary: "Chuck..."

Chuck: "I wanted those 2 inches, Gary. I wanted them so bad."

Gary: "It's 2 inches. I mean, wh-what's the difference between 5'3" and 5'5"?"

Chuck: "5'5" you can say out loud."

Mark: "What are you doing?" he asks when Sky sits next to him in the cafeteria

Sky: "You sleep with me, you lunch with me. New rule. Besides it's not like we didn't eat lunch together before. Hell we went to a bar together."

Mark: "Yeah but this time it's different."

Sky: "Why? It's not like I'm going to feel you up in the middle of the cafeteria. Unless that's your thing?" she asks slowly moving her hand up his thigh and he jumps a little in his seat before clearing his throat

Mark: "I just remember-I-uh-I have somewhere to be." he stammers before hurrying away and she smirks down at her tray in amusement

➿

Carolyn: "Mark." she turns to see him coming over to where she's pouring herself something to drink

Mark: "Mrs. Shepherd."

Carolyn: "You've been avoiding me."

Mark: "What? No." his voice goes up a little as he puts his hands on his hips

Carolyn: "You have that same guilty look on your face as you did when you were 10 years old and you put Derek's favorite frog into the microwave."

Mark: "I never pressed "start. "

Carolyn: "What's going on?"

Mark: "I'm sleeping with her." he sighs out

Carolyn: "Oh, Mark! Not again. How could you?"

Mark: "No, no. No, not Meredith. Her." he motions his head behind him without looking over at Sky

Carolyn: "Which one is she?" she looks around the cafeteria

Mark: "Sky." he hesitates before sighing and points to her as Carolyn's eyes widen at the fact
