Thread: My Silver Lining (Ava & RocLobster)

His office would prove a nice and quite setting for the questions she had for him. It was better than standing in a hall or in a residents room. Since some were more personal. Well... personal for him . With a wave of a hand she silently said her good byes to Miss Harrison fbefore following at the Doctor's side as he led the way down the halls of the hospital. Gabriella had to think about what he said and it had been about two weeks since she started. My how time flew. Silently the nurse listened as the man spoke. Her lax smile grew by a hair as he apologized for airing out a bit of his troubles. With a slight nod of her head, she dismissed his apologies while walking into the office. Whatever she had to say halted for a moment and was shortly replaced by a little laugh when he offered her to find a seat. She would need some gloved and a metal detector to even find it. You need not apologize Doctor Harrison, I'm always available to lend an ear. Meanwhile her eyes roamed the cluttered room and instantly she asked herself ' Is he living here? ' It was an easy assumption. For the time being she remained silent with a humble smile about her lips. The man certainly had a lot going on in his life and that was just an assumption, but she was sure that she was pretty much on the mark. As the chair was dragged into place she took a seat with her hands upon her lap as she allowed him to collect himself. For a moment she thought he had fallen asleep until he spoke once more. You really need to take this next half hour to relax Doctor Harrison. She cleared her throat for a moment, fearing she was a little soft in her tone of voice. Almost barely audible. You brought your home to work. Pardon me for me forward, but you and I need to take one of these half hours break to get this office of yours together. She lent him a benign laugh and smile. You know... when I moved, I actually brought more things than I can fit into my apartment. Two of those things being a bookshelf and a file cabinet, if you would like them. Warm eyes looked about the room and its various contents. Maybe if we clear that corner we can put the bookshelf over there for your medical books and other things and the file cabinet can go on the opposite wall. when she looked back at him, blood rushed to the fair skin of her cheeks. Sorry... the questions. Yes... Well a woman has been calling and down right screaming on the phone asking for you. I was simply told to relay that to you. My original question being, and again pardon me for being so forward, but do you need someone to pick up some extra hours? Apparently the D.O.N. is having problems scheduling someone for overnight and I've pulled my share of sixteen hour shifts, I wouldn't mind. She told me to ask you and that we could not afford to hire anyone else, otherwise. Now she felt as though she had been rambling on too long. No I am not trying for brownie points, but one nurse at night is apparently not enough. Maybe I could work three in the afternoon to seven in the morning or eleven at night to three in the afternoon. It's no problem at all. Besides, it's one more person to look after your mother at night. Throwing that last bit in for more persuasion. And, F.Y.I. if you need to vent, go ahead. I'm all ears. You look so well worn Doctor Harrison, you can't hide it. The friendly tone went well with the warm smile that rarely left her face. A deep breath of relief was take as she sat back in the chair and got herself comfortable. So... what do you say?
