CHAPTER 11

Meri

With all the extra help in the ER, I seemed to have a lot of free time on my hands. Which would be welcome since for the past couple of months, I seemed to be doing the job of three people, instead of one. But with the circumstances that had brought in all the extra help here had my nerves working overtime.

Pacing in the front lobby, I looked at my watch. Ryker should’ve been here almost half an hour ago. He hadn’t texted me or called to let me know if something had come up and he couldn’t make it.

Please don’t let anything happen to him.

My cell phone rang and I looked at the caller ID. I wasn’t familiar with the number. Answering, I said, “This is Nurse Meri. Can I help you?”

“Hello. I found this phone and you were the last number called. I don’t know who it belongs to. Do you want me to bring it to you?” a woman asked.

I didn’t even know whose phone it was, but obviously, they knew me. They had called me. I couldn’t remember talking to anyone besides Ryker, Reesa, Brice, and my nursing staff.

Guess I’ll find out when I get the phone.

“Yes. I’m at the hospital if you want to bring it by.”

She said, “Would you be able to meet me in the parking lot?”

Why not? It wasn’t like Ryker was here and I had stitches to take out. “Fine. How long until you’re here?”

“Ten minutes. I’ll be watching for you.”

She ended the call before I could ask how I would know who she was. There weren’t a lot of people coming and going so how hard was it going to be for me to find her?

As I looked out the glass entrance, I couldn’t help but notice how beautiful it looked outside. I was about to head out when Brice came up from behind me.

“I was wondering where you were.”

“Is there a problem?” I asked.

“None. Just checking on you. Is everything okay with you? I mean, I know having the extra...staff in the ER probably has interrupted your normal workflow.”

“If by interrupted, you mean given me space to breathe, then yes, them being here has been a change. In some ways, a pleasant one. But I can’t forget the real reason they’re all here,” I admitted. “I appreciate you being here, but I wish Dr. O’Connor was back.”

“He’s on his way,” Brice said.

“Really? Is his mother well? I mean she just had bypass heart surgery. I’d have thought he’d stay a little longer. I mean, isn’t Dr. Henderson arriving today?” I asked.

“Logan was, but that plan has changed as well.”

It appeared that a change of plans seemed to be the only constant around here lately. I chuckled softly. “I consider myself organized. But I’m having trouble keeping up with all of this. Is there anything else I should know?”

“Not that I’m aware.”

A car pulled into the driveway but didn’t enter the parking lot. Brice looked around me to check it out.
