The night shift nurse came in and wrote Gwen up on a dry erase board. A short silver bob framed round cheeks.

“I’ll be taking care of you tonight. Can I get you anything?”

“How about a glass of wine and a cheese burger?”

“I’ll see what I can do, but don’t hold your breath.” She patted her hand and smiled, displaying a row of perfect white teeth. Katrine liked her smile; it was comforting. Some nurses were Ratchets and some were Nightingales. Lucky for Katrine, Gwen was definitely the latter.

“Didn’t your momma ever tell you to look both ways before you cross the street?” Gwen said as she checked the bag hanging from the IV pole.

“Yes, ma’am, but I’ve always been rebellious.”

Gwen winked at her and said she would be back later. “You press that button if you need anything, sugar.”

“Thank you. I think I’m just going to pass out for a while.”

“You do that. They’ll be in bright and early to take you down for your CT scan.”

“Another one? How early is early?” she asked, feeling exhaustion seeping into her bones.

“Don’t worry. Just get some rest. I’ll help you wash your hair before you go.”

As soon as Gwen left her room, maybe even before, Katrine was out.
