Usually, a long break revitalized me and made it easier to throw myself back into the commitment of nursing school with a will. I wasn’t afraid of hard work and long days, but sometimes I started to get burnt out. I had been feeling that way during the week before Mardi Gras, and the two days we got off to celebrate hadn’t been enough to give me the break I needed.

Then, spring break had rolled around. Normally, a weeklong break would have been absolutely perfect. I would have relaxed at home, cooked with my mom, done some shopping, handled one or two adult responsibilities that I had been putting off due to a lack of time… Generally surrounded myself with low-key, simple things that had no impact on my future as a successful nursing student. By the end of the week, I would even have been a little restless - unsure of what to do with myself all day and ready to return to the grind and put the next six weeks before the end of the term.

But then, something had happened. Spring break was way too short. I had run into Marty and ended up spending the whole week reconnecting with him. And I was so disappointed the week was over that even right now, in Tulane University’s library on a Monday evening, I could feel my chest tighten. If I focused on that feeling, it turned into a dull ache that pushed me to call Marty, just to hear his voice.

I had been so worried those last couple days of break. Friday had been perfect and dreamy, everything I had ever imagined or hoped for…and then, the next day, I had woken up with a sick pit in my stomach with no idea how to deal with it.

Technically, I got just what I wanted. I’d gone on my spring break and had a spring fling of my own, just like Zoe and Abigail. Now, it was time to take a step back, get refocused and throw myself back into the task of finishing my rotations, passing my nursing board exam and graduating.

I’d gotten what I wanted…but it made me want more. Marty was intelligent, caring and funny - not to mention handsome - and I couldn’t imagine meeting another guy like him, not even if I spent years and years dating. I had known that during our special summer together, but I still decided to leave for nursing school.

Yesterday, Sunday afternoon after we finished closing the shop for the last time I would work there, Marty and I had gone out for dinner. All week, we had avoided any talk of him and me- us, together or not together. We had just enjoyed ourselves and lived like the week was forever, and it had taken us until Sunday to admit that all good things come to an end.

That was when I had realized I needed to make a choice. I could say “Thanks for dinner,” give Marty
