Chapter 2

Jenna Wainright stepped into the locker room to swap her nurse’s smock for her denim jacket. She had an hour’s break and hoped her new patient would sleep during that time.

“Hey Jenna, ready for lunch?” Chelsea, her best friend and fellow nurse, peeked into the locker room.

“I’ll be right there,” Jenna replied, shrugging into her jacket.

With Chelsea and their mutual friend Gwen, Jenna strolled to the bistro near the hospital where the trio liked to lunch when their shifts allowed.

“So, is it true that the patient who came in this morning is Mitchell Carmichael?” Gwen leaned her elbows on the table, her eyes wide.

“The one and the same.” Jenna sighed, rolling hers. Having such a high-profile patient in her care would be the talk of the hospital, but she hadn’t expected Gwen to be in quite so much awe.

“Is he still cute with his face all busted up?”

Jenna shrugged. “I didn’t really notice, to be honest. He’s not my type, you know that.” She picked up the menu and perused it.

“Come on, Jen. What’s he like?”

Putting the menu aside, Jenna cracked her knuckles, a habit that annoyed her brother, Kyle, immensely. “If you really need to know, his face isn’t too bad. It’s mostly the fractures to his lower limbs that are the problem. I’m guessing he’ll need a couple of surgeries and that he’ll probably be in the hospital for a while.” She stifled a groan at the prospect of putting up with her patient’s pathetic attempts at flirtation for an extended period.

“Hopefully he won’t be as bad as he’s reported to be,” Chelsea said. “He has to be in a lot of pain.”

“Yes, but he’s tried flirting with me already.”

“Really? Why are rich, attractive men always so gross?” Chelsea shook her head in disgust.

“I wish I knew.” Picking up her menu again, Jenna quickly made her choice and gave her order to the waitress who’d arrived at their table, pen poised.

After the waitress had taken their orders, Jenna steered the conversation away from Mitchell Carmichael, but a little later, as the trio strolled back to the hospital, her thoughts turned to him. Despite his antics, she realised she felt a little sorry for him. After all, what kind of emptiness must someone feel to behave the way he did?

Why would a man with all the trappings wealth could buy feel the need to act so obnoxiously? It was evident to her he had more issues to deal with than merely his broken bones and drug problem.

Arriving at the hospital entrance, Jenna bid her friends goodbye and then made her way back to her floor. As she approached the main desk, she came face to face with Dr. Fletcher, the doctor overseeing Mitchell Carmichael’s care. Nearing sixty, his hair was thinning but he had a kind face and was respected by all the nursing staff for his professional but easy-going manner.

“I’ve just seen the Carmichael boy. I’m not sure we can hold the police off much longer. What do you think?”

Jenna appreciated that the older doctor was interested in her opinion.
