Callie Torres stands by the snack table, trying to focus on her coffee. She glances over to see you and George O’Malley deep in conversation, both of you laughing and sharing an easy rapport. A tight knot forms in her stomach.

Callie watches as George leans closer to you, animatedly telling a story. She can’t help but feel a surge of jealousy. It’s not just friendship; she recognizes the spark between you two that ignites something inside her.

As George throws his head back in laughter, Callie’s heart sinks. She’s been trying to muster the courage to tell you how she feels, but watching the two of you together makes her doubts resurface. It feels unfair that George, her husband, gets to enjoy your company without the weight of her unspoken feelings.

Callie takes a sip of her coffee, trying to steady herself, but the bitterness lingers longer than expected. She wishes things were different, that she could be the one making you laugh like that.

Taking a deep breath, Callie decides she can’t let this continue. With a forced smile, she steps closer to you both, hoping to reclaim the moment but feeling the tension of unexpressed emotions weighing heavily on her heart.
