Chapter 20

Beverly shut her eyes, unable to believe that she had actually come clean with everything. Everything. She cringed inwardly as she wondered what his reaction would be to that little bomb.

“I’m sorry?” he said quietly.

“I’m not a doctor, Hudson.”

Hudson went quiet for a moment. “Well, why…were you…why did you tell Faith you were? If you hadn’t, you wouldn’t have had to come here.”

Now it was Beverly’s turn to go quiet. “I was once, Hudson. My medical license was stripped from me when I was caught stealing pain pills from the hospital pharmacy. I was a drug addict. I don’t know why I told Faith I was a doctor. All I can say was that it seemed like the right thing to do at the time. Faith seemed panicked, but very sweet. I felt I had to help her.”

Hudson nodded, imagining the big, brown puppy-dog eyes that Faith had laid upon Beverly. “How did…how did it all happen?”

“It was pretty simple. I was walking back to my room, and Faith ran into me. She said her friend needed a doctor, and that was about it.”

He was quiet again, obviously processing what she had said. “Well, Bev, you’re still a doctor. You care about people, you want to help them, and you’re a badass with a needle and thread.”

She didn’t say anything, but stared at the ceiling.

“Not having some stupid piece of paper doesn’t mean that you aren’t a worthy person, Bev. It doesn’t define you. You may not be able to practice medicine, but that doesn’t change the person you are. It’s not everything you are. There’s more to you than the title of doctor.”

She felt her body relax, and tears formed in her eyes. It felt good to be accepted for what she was, flaws and a tragic, rocky past included.

After a while she whispered, “Thank you,” threading her fingers through his.

“For what?” he mumbled, almost asleep.

“For just being so accepting of me.”

He acknowledged her words with a squeeze of her hand, and they both let the exhaustion they shared lull them into a deep sleep.
