Dave was still in the mindset of taking each day and see how it all pans out with his relationship with Ella. He had dated Aimee for a healthy amount of time, and they were still very close friends, but with Aimee so career-focused and working her butt off in her residency, they realised it just wasn't functioning like a well-oil wheel and it was tough to nail quality time together. Quality time was what it was all about, they both realised this. It came to its natural fade-to-black and they chalked it up as a nice time together, and no hard feelings, remaining friends in the wake of it. He had met Ella one night in a bar, and they just struck up a conversation together that was so easy. One thing led to another, and they soon came to be officially dating.

Ella had recently lost her mother, and cancer was something Dave literally understood first hand, because he had come close to losing his fight himself a few years back. His world had come crashing down around him, so he knew what a terrible time it could be. Especially knowing not everyone survived it. Dave was the sort of guy who thought laughter really was the best medicine. He had a wicked sense of humour and like to make people smile. It was just how he had always been, and Ella seemed to appreciate his type of humour. They laughed together a lot.

He smiled back at her teasing. "Oh, I don't know. I was so busy being all important and saving lives, that I maybe completely forgot to miss you," he joked and gave her another kiss. "How was your day?"
