Thread: My Silver Lining (Ava & RocLobster)

It was clear that Doctor Harrison needed this half hour. The man was a visible wreck, to say the least. She noted the stare and chalked it up to his thoughts getting away from him before he came too once more. A little chuckle sounding from her lips. It's perfectly fine. Don't worry about it. Easily dismissing the slight moment of awkwardness from a moment ago. Warm eyes watched as the doctor walked away from his desk and over to a concealed water cooler that seemed to double as a clothing rack. Oh yes... you could use the organization and it would help you get things strait. Professional image or not, you could use it. I can have it brought over tomorrow. The male nurse Kevin apparently lives in the same apartment complex as me. He can haul it over with his Ford pick up truck. Kevin had taken a liking to her since she'd walked through the door. Clearly he was a charmer, but she had serious doubts that he was a player. The man just seemed to get off on making women smile. Something he did very well with words alone. Gabriella had already mentioned to the man that it would take more than some sweet words to win her over. She dawned a look of concern as he spoke of his wife. Clearly things weren't going so well in the Harrison household. She turned a little when the door behind her opened and her eyes landed upon the familiar sight of another nurse. I figured. You could really use a pick me up right about now. You look like a wreck. You look like you haven't had sleep in ages and you have a lot on your plate, apparently. The young nurse wasn't sure if she had crossed the proverbial border with that last string of words, but she was just speaking her mind. Finally they switched topics and her schedule change was brought up. This made her smile. It would benefit a lot. Including Doctor Harrision. Perfect. A smile tugged at the corner of her cheek as he called her 'Gabby' and asked if she was comfortable with it. He was a very considerate guy and while she wasn't normally a nosy person, she found herself very curious as to what conspired between the husband and wife. He was sweet, considerate, and not a downright pervert. At least he appeared not to be within the small about of time she'd gotten to know him a little. Gabby is actually better for me. I'm so use to getting called by it, that whenever I hear my full first name, I think I'm in trouble. A little and very short laugh slipped past her lips, followed by a sigh as she looked at the simple white watch upon her wrist. Actually, I'll give you these ten minutes to relax while I get a head start on passing out the meds. Thanks for the moment of your time Doctor Harrison. She chimed before she dismissed herself from his office and gently closed the door behind her. There her head nurse snagged her and handed her the keys to the med cart. The young nurse giving her D.O.N. a heads up about the new hours from her and Gabriella was almost sure she saw the crows feet shrink from those tired eyes. The woman openly sighing 'Thank God' before she let Gabriella wander off to pass out the medicine to the residents. Taking blood pressure and glucose levels and administering insulin and pain pills galore. While getting in some chit chat with the patients and trying to dodge Mister Niel's swift hands as she tried to take his vitals before giving him his medicine. Before she knew it, it was lunch time. She took a lunch she had made to the cafeteria and took up a two person table next to the window where light spilled in, bathing her in a warmth she loved so much. Especially in this chilly setting. Today's lunch consisting of a few grapes, a roast beef sandwich, a slice of red velvet cake and a bottle of water.
