“Okay,” I spoke, quiet, my thoughts going a mile a minute.
“The phone call, I can let you use my cell phone if you promise not to…” she trailed off, as if realizing the possibilities of what could happen if a villain had her phone number, contact info for her friends and family.
Aw. I like this nurse-in-training.
Yet she could hardly back out, not without potentially upsetting a bad guy.
Whoops.
I shook my head. “No. But it’s really good of you to offer. Thank you,” I tried to put as much emphasis on the thanks as possible. “With that kind of empathy, I’m sure you’ll become a great nurse.”
😀
Absolutely.
She gave me a funny look, then backed out through the curtain. I could have called after her, asked for something for the pain, asked if maybe I could get some help, but I suspected she didn’t have the power to give me any of that.
Yeah, probably not.
Besides, she has other patients to visit.
I had no idea how long I’d be here, and I suspected it’d be worth more to have a potential friendly face around than go for the long shot and risk seeming manipulative or alienating her. That, and I didn’t want to get her in trouble.
That’s another good point. You’ve pushed the boundaries a fair bit already, might want to take a break.
