(OOC: I haven't RPed in awhile, so I thought I might)
Sheldon sighed and leaned back against his couch. He felt the springs underneath the cushions pushing up into his legs and back, but he tried to ignore them as he flipped open the book in his hands to the first page. He couldn't get past the first sentance. He tossed the book on the the coffee table, along with four others he had tried to start, and sat up. He usually had no trouble when it came to reading, just open a book and start, but sometimes he found that he couldn't focus.
In those cases, Sheldon was usually antsy or restless. He had never really known what to do in those situations, and usually ended up pacing his apartment or snacking and watching TV. Neither of those options appealed to Sheldon at the moment, and he stood up to find his shoes.
After locating and donning his sneakers, Sheldon left his apartment, he had decided to take a walk. He hadn't taken a walk in a long time, and it was as good a time as any and a great way to get the rid of his restlessness. He took the stairs, not in the mood to deal with the moody elevator in his building, and walked swiftly out the front door into the brisk night.
Sheldon took a deep breath and began his walk, not really sure of where he was going.

(OOC: Me too. You don't mind if I join you? XD )
Doreen was walking along in Central Park, holding an MP3 player and was listening to Orson's "No Tomorrow". The cool wind felt nice.
She glanced up and saw Sheldon Consare walking, looking deep in thought.

(OOC: Not at all... isn't it funny how we always end up RPing together? ;D)
Sheldon stopped for a moment to glance up at the sky, but he knew there was no hope of seeing the stars. Not in Manhattan. He continued on his way, letting his mind wander from the day's events to how good it felt to be out walking.
He barely noticed Doreen as he passed her, but then he stopped and turned.
"Hey, Doreen." He called out, feeling a little embarressed that it had taken him that long to acknowledge her. He hid the feeling as he waited for her response.

"Hey Sheldon," she said, smiling.
"For once I get to see the doctor outside the morgue," she added jokingly. "Rough day?"

Sheldon smiled at her comment. "Well, it's good to see you outside of the morgue, too."
"Yeah, a rough day. I wouldn't mind it so much, except that I can't seem to relax." He gestured towards her MP3 player. "What are you listening to?"

She looked down at ther MP3 player. "Oh, it's this song by Orson called 'No Tomorrow'. It's a really great song. You should try and listen to it."
She turned off her MP3 player so that she'll be able to focus on her conversation.
"If you don't mind me asking... mind telling me why you had a rough day?"

"Car crash," was all Sheldon said. He knew Doreen would know what he meant. "Not to mention I couldn't focus on anything once I got home."
He sighed and moved quickly out of the way of a jogger before continuing.
"So, what brings you out here on this beautiful night?" he asked.

She shrugged.
"I don't know, I just felt like taking a walk, ya know? Felt a little bit bored at home. If my sister knew I'm taking a walk here alone at night, she'd freak out," she said, laughing a little.

Sheldon smiled. "Well, you're not alone now. If you don't mind my company, that is."

"Nope, I don't mind it at all," she said, feeling relieved. She stuffed her hands into her pocket.
"So, how's life? Apart from the,you know, rough day today."

"Life," Sheldon said, a sly smile coming onto his face. "It's looking up right about now."

Doreen smiled.
"Uh huh, I'm sure about that," she said, hitting him lightly on the arm. The wind blew again; this time a little bit harder. She pulled onto her jacket tighter.
"It's cold, isn't it?"

"A little," Sheldon said, slipping his hands into his pocket. "But it's kind of nice."
He smiled a little and glanced up at the sky.
"How about you? How's life?"

"It has a way of kicking you down, but it's alright," she said. "Hey, I wanna ask you something random; if you weren't an M.E, what job would you end up with?"

Sheldon sighed and looked over at Doreen. He didn't say anything for a minute, but he finally took a deep breath and responded.
"I was a surgeon before."
