Claire’s intercom buzzed. “Yes?”

“There’s a call for you from Leesha at Laurelton General,” the receptionist said.

“Put it through.”

A moment later, Leesha was on the line. “How’re you doing? How’s our Jane Doe?”

“Getting better. Still unaware. Still pregnant,” Claire said with a smile in her voice. “How are things going with you?”

“The emergency room’s run over by people who think they’ve got the flu. I was just wondering…did that nurse ever get hold of you? The one who thought she could identify Jane Doe? Dark hair. Medium tall. From Good Sam?”

“No one’s contacted me. Maybe she talked to Freeson, though I think he would’ve said something.”

“I gave her your name specifically.”

“It didn’t happen.”

“Huh.” Leesha sounded perplexed. “Maybe she changed her mind. I was kinda pissed, ’cause I thought the girl at the front desk gave out Jane Doe’s whereabouts, but she said no. This nurse must’ve figured it out on her own. She sure acted like she was going to come your way.”

“I thought the authorities were sifting through would-be identifiers.”

“They are. It just seemed like she might know something…hmm…”

They chatted for a few more minutes before Claire’s next appointment knocked on the door, a stunning athlete whose dream of playing college football had been dashed when he’d been diagnosed with an enlarged heart. He was having serious trouble redirecting himself and was so low that Claire had prescribed antidepressants and made sure he was never alone.

She hung up as he slouched himself into a chair. “How are you doing, Jeremiah?” she asked and spent the next hour pulling out monosyllabic replies that didn’t bode well for his overall mental health.
