“I’m glad I did.”

“Me too.”

“I’ll call you-” I don’t get more out of my mouth before her name is being called. When we look over, Tessa says, “Natalie? What’s up? I called the extension and they said they needed me.”

“Sorry about that,” she begins as her eyes take in my presence, “Noah told me that you were busy and I tried to cover for you instead, but Dr. Hart is asking for you in triage three. We’ve got an attempted overdose. They’re pumping her stomach now. She swallowed a whole bottle of sleeping pills. Dr. Hart asked for you to assist and wasn’t sure if you’d also want to bring a resident to observe.”

Whatever else is said next, is lost to me. My mind just keeps hearing the word ‘overdose’ over and over again and I suddenly feel nauseous. Tessa turns to me and the look on my face must alarm her. She grasps my arm, her brows furrowing in concern. “Ryder? What’s wrong? Are you okay?”

“I’m alright. Go. You need to go.”

She looks unsure at first and begins uttering apologies. The truth is, I don’t really hear any of it – not really. I’m pretty sure I nod, and I even manage to give her a quick kiss on the cheek.

As she moves away from me, she looks back over her shoulder once more and waves. I return it and try to smile the best I can, but my mind has completely gone to another moment – another time – and I race out of there as fast as my feet can take me.
