“It’s good to have you back, Chandler.”

Lexi returned the smile and waved at Ramirez. She’d already made the second pot of coffee for the day which had earned her the title of hero.

By the middle of her shift, she’d been so tired, she’d attempted to drink a cup of the stuff herself. Three sips into it, she poured the coffee down the sink and tossed the paper cup into the trash.

Nope, that wasn’t going to happen.

“We’ve missed you around here.”

Lexi whirled to find Finnegan standing right behind her. She reached up to touch the black and white striped surgical hat she was wearing. “I appreciate that. And you shouldn’t sneak up on a person like that. You’ll get yourself clobbered.”

“Come to dinner with me tomorrow and you can clobber me all you want to.” He said it in jest, but his eyes told her otherwise.

“Finnegan. I’m not interested.”

“Can’t blame a guy for trying.”

“And trying. And trying.”

He chuckled as he turned to leave. Lexi wished he’d take her seriously and quit asking her out.

The good news was, other than coworkers asking if she was feeling better and telling her they’d missed her, no one had mentioned cancer. To say she was relieved would be an understatement. Kate wasn’t on shift or Lexi would thank her for her discretion.

By the time her twelve-hour shift was over, Lexi’s abdominal muscles were killing her. She wasn’t sure she’d ever been that tired. It was all she could do to drag herself home and in bed.

When her day off finally arrived, she slept all day and it wasn’t until early Saturday that she woke up feeling better.

It was almost ten in the morning when there was a knock at the door. Lexi frowned at the gym shorts and oversized t-shirt she was wearing. Taking a glance through the peephole in the door, she saw Serenity standing outside. She snatched a handkerchief off the counter and swept her rapidly thinning hair back and secured it over her head before opening the door.

Serenity hesitated. “I hope I didn’t wake you up.”

“Not at all.” Lexi stood to the side and ushered her younger sister in. “Where’s Gideon?”

“He’s with Mom and Grams. They’re watching a movie this morning.”

“That sounds like fun. How’s everything been going for you guys?” Lexi sat down and Serenity joined her.

“It’s fine.” Serenity’s long hair flowed down and touched the seat of the couch. “His therapists have been happy with his progress. I think we may get a new speech therapist, though. That should be a lot of fun.”

There was no missing the sarcasm in Serenity’s voice. Lexi knew that consistency was better for Gideon. Change, especially with regards to something as important as a therapist, wasn’t easy on him.

“I’m sorry. I’ll be praying that, if he does, the transition will go smoothly.”

“Thanks.” Serenity shifted her position. “How was your first week back at work?”

“It nearly killed me.” Lexi rubbed her eyes and knew there were dark circles beneath them. “I’m kidding. Mostly. I’m sure next week will be easier.
