Dr McDreamy-to-be

We run into each other for the first time in 5 months. He remembers my name (his returns to me 5min later) and notes my protracted absence. I am easily coaxed into gatecrashing the Pharm sundowner with him. He volunteers reflections on his experience in the current surgery rotation. I am almost ready to gatecrash the ward where he's headed afterwards. He moves closer ostensibly to get away from the shrieking girls behind him.

The whole encounter is dampened somewhat by a handshake goodbye... Like, wtf?

Next time I'm asking him to coffee and showing him what a proper friendly gesture looks like.
