Erin let out a sigh as she pulled her auburn hair out of it’s ponytail. She absently ran her fingers through her hair as she walked towards the locker room. It had been a long week, and she was exhausted. She was thinking off all the studying she still had to do when she walked straight into someone, sending a stack of papers careening onto the floor. She automatically began apologizing as she stooped to start collecting the papers. She almost dropped the stack again when she heard his voice. “It’s okay. Don’t worry about it.”
“Dr. Carter,” She gasped. “I’m so sorry. I wasn’t paying attention, and..”
He interrupted before she could go any further. “Hey, it’s no big deal. Really.” He flashed her an incredible smile, and Erin could instantly feel her cheeks begin to blush. After a moment they both rose to their feet, and Erin handed him the papers. His eyes never left hers as he took the stack from her.
“Good night, Erin.”
