TITLE: SENSE

AUTHOR: May,  mayrarm@hotmail.com

SUMMARY: This story is supposed to be about Ellenor but all the 
women of the Practice are featured.  It takes a while to get going but it is a 
continued story so please hang in there.

DISCLAIMER: The characters used in this story are not my own nor do I 
claim them to be such.  They belong to ABC and David E Kelley and I am 
not profiting from using them.

At the offices of DYD&F
Ellenor comes out of the conference room with a foul look on her face.

LUCY: not that it is any of my business Ellenor, but, I was just wondering 
are you seeing anyone at the moment?

ELLENOR: you’re right it isn’t any of your business Lucy.  If you just 
wanted to tell us about your Celtic boyfriend you don’t have to preface it 
with care or concern for anyone else’s love life.

LUCY: I was trying to say that I noticed this guy checking you out today 
when we were at lunch and that if you weren’t seeing anyone

Ellenor cuts her off saying: again that would be none of your damn 
business.

REBECCA: ENOUGH!

ELLENOR: You don’t want me to get started about you now Rebecca 
do you? Just stay out of it.

LINDSAY: Ellenor they were only trying to help, there’s no need to jump 
on them.

ELLENOR: No we wouldn’t want to be jumping on people around here, 
we’d just leave that to you.  You seem to have jumping a certain person in 
this office down to a fine art form. 

LINDSAY: What is that supposed to mean?

ELLENOR: Come on Lindsay, all working girls like you know how to 
make sure they get paid.

LINDSAY: First of all I thought we’d already sorted out this whole 
partnership thing, and second who told you about Helen and my trip?

LUCY: Are you and Helen hookers Lindsay and why didn’t anyone tell 
me?  No wonder Bobby keeps coming back for more.

LINDSAY: quiet Lucy.  Don’t tell anyone else or Helen will be 
devastated.

Phone rings.
LUCY: The offices of DYD&F Lucy speaking.  Oh hi Helen, hoe I mean 
how was your weekend?

HELEN shouts: PUT LINDSAY ON NOW!

Lindsay just shakes her head at Lucy and picks up the phone and she can 
already hear Helen shouting.  HELEN: I thought we discussed this Lindsay 
no one was to know, remember, otherwise I’ll loose my job.

LINDSAY: I didn’t tell them, anyway why did you ring?

HELEN: Oh just tell Ellenor that Richard is running late, he should be 
there soon.

LINDSAY: Alright I’ll see you at home hoe

HELEN: Funny, see you later.

Lindsay tells Ellenor that Richard is going to be late.  Ellenor visibly gets 
angrier.  Lucy, Lindsay and Rebecca look at each other.  Rebecca is the 
only one game enough to speak: Um is that why you are so angry today 
Ellenor, because you have to try another case against Richard?

ELLENOR: Why don’t you just but out too Rebecca.
Ellenor charges back to the conference room.

LUCY: I sense sexual tension there.  Rebecca and Lindsay look at each 
other disgusted at the fact that someone might find the midget attractive.  
Ellenor who is at the door of the conference room turns and starts to 
charge at Lucy who ducks behind Lindsay saying: you fought with her 
before I am sure you can take her again.

Ellenor walks right up and looks around Lindsay to Lucy and says: If you 
had any sense you would know I HATE Richard Bay, there is no sexual 
tension only sexual revulsion.  So just do your job and tell me when he 
gets here.
With that Ellenor goes back to the conference room.

Once the door shuts Lucy says to Lindsay and Rebecca: She’s in denial at 
the moment, she has one of those love/hate relationships.
Rebecca and Lindsay just look at each other and shake their heads.

That’s enough for now, this is a continued story so please send me 
feedback so I can write the rest the way you’d all like it.
