***

She meant that. There was nervousness in the pit of her belly, but she’d wanted this for a long time. Her footsteps echoed as her heels tapped along the concrete parking garage to her beat up Taurus. She slid behind the wheel, blasting the air as soon as she was inside. As she drove away, her mind wandered once more to Declan, his piercing grey eyes and the challenge she knew she was in for tomorrow.

The thoughts kept her company as she drove home. When she pulled up to her apartment, she realized that she was already a little exhausted. She’d just stepped off of a plane the day before, found a place, signed a contract. Her mother paid for the apartment now and there was a little saved up from her college days that she knew she could fall back on.

She stepped inside of her place. It was small, a one bedroom that was already furnished. It wasn’t the greatest place to live, but it was close to the hospital and pest free. She dumped her purse onto a chair before walking into the kitchen. Opening the fridge, she pulled out a beer before she popped off the cap and took a swig. It was only late afternoon, but she wanted to be in bed early. There was no way she was going to be late to her first day and risk the wrath of Doctor Declan.

Brionna tidied everything up, called her mom, said goodnight to her brother and was in bed by nine. She shut off the light, set three alarms, then shut her eyes. No matter how tightly she closed them, however, she couldn’t relax. Energy coursed through her body. Tomorrow was special to her, the start of everything that she’d worked so hard for. Bri forced herself to calm down, to get some sleep. A smile stayed on her lips as she dropped off.

The next morning started out badly. She should have known that it was only going to get worse from there. Her first two alarms didn’t bother going off, or perhaps she’d been in too deep of a sleep to hear them. Either way, she was now running around the apartment in a panic looking for her purse and shoes. The place was a mess of tossed about clothes, empty luggage and discarded moving boxes.

Finally, she found her purse, slipped into her sneakers and dashed out of the door. When she pulled into the hospital's parking garage, the red lights on her dash flashed 5:52. She hopped out of the car, twisted her hair into a bun and jogged to the elevators. The hospital was still a maze that she had to navigate, but she was choosing to approach one problem at a time.

As she waited for the elevator, she jabbed her finger against the button again and again as if her impatience would hurry it along. She stepped inside. A hand gripped the door just as it was almost closed making her sigh in exasperation.
