CHAPTER SEVENTY SEVEN something's gotta give. season seven, episode eight.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE BROKE UP WITH ME."
Mark put his head in his hands, a longing sigh escaping through his downturned lips. His breakfast had gone uneaten, his hot coffee turned lukewarm, and yet, nothing had changed since he'd woken up in a cold sweat hours before.
"Yeah, it's crazy."
There was a scoff, a pair of eyeballs practically rolling to the back of their owner's head, and another sigh. "Crazy? It's inexcusable, is what it is! How could she do this to me? How could she possibly leave me all alone?"
Lifting his head from his hands, Mark gave the person across from him a tired look, wanting nothing more than to go back to bed.
"Cass, Robbins went to Africa. She's not dead."
Cassie scoffed again.
Mark was pretty sure that if he heard that sound one more time, he'd have to remove himself from the situation. Lock himself in the bedroom with their cats, maybe. Take a long shower. Take a really long shower.
(I love her, he reminded himself. I loveher, and she's definitely not driving me insane this morning. Not at all.)
"She offeredto take me under her wing, and like, two seconds later she was all, oh, I won the Carter Madison Grant, just kidding! and then she—"
"—and then she left for Africa and left you and Karev alone to die, yes, we've been through this," Mark groaned, lifting up his coffee to take a sip before remembering that it was several hours old. "I love you, but I get it."
"Yeah, but no, here's the thing—"
Mark all but slammed the coffee cup onto the counter, some of the cool liquid splattering onto his hand. Cassie continued her rant, clearly not even noticing the sound, which gave him time to check his watch.
In doing so, he realized that he'd been listening to his fiancée whine for the past four hours. Since three in the morning. It was seven, now.
(Wait, it was seven already?)
"Babe—"
"—you think you know someone, you think you can trust someone, and then they surprise you in the worst way!"
