I listened to her chest and then pressed down on her abdomen. She moaned in pain.
“I’ll be right back,” I said as I gestured for Robin, the nurse, to follow me out of the room. “Let’s give her the GI cocktail and wait an hour.”
“Okay, Dr. Russo.”
I walked back into the room. “Mrs. Troy, we’re going to give you some medication to ease your pain. Just relax for the next hour, and I’ll be back.”
“Aren’t you going to run any tests?” she asked.
“I’m going to wait a bit. Just relax.” I smiled as I placed my hand on her arm.
Walking out of the room, I saw Christian at the nurses’ station.
“Hey.” I smiled.
“Hey. What’s up?”
“Not much.” I glanced at my watch. “You have time for lunch?”
“Yeah. Actually, I do.” He smiled.
We went to the cafeteria, grabbed a couple of sandwiches, and took them up to the rooftop.
“I met this girl,” I said.
“Oh yeah?” A grin crossed his face. “Who is she?”
“Her name is Claire Monet. She just moved in next door to me.”
“Is she hot?” He smirked.
“Yeah, she is. She’s about five foot eight with long, lean legs, long blonde hair, and the prettiest blue eyes I’ve ever seen. She’s fucking gorgeous, Christian.”
“Ask her out.”
“I did. We slept together last night. Afterward, she couldn’t kick me out fast enough.”
He laughed. “What’s her story?”
“I really don’t know much. She just moved here from Connecticut and said she needed a change.”
“That’s it?”
“Yep.” I bit into my sandwich. “I don’t know, man. There’s something about her.”
“Does she work?”
“I don’t think so.” His brows furrowed. “This girl is mysterious.”
“I get the feeling you want to get to know her better.” A smirk crossed his lips.
“I do, but—you know.”
“Yeah, Nick, I know. But you have to move on. Put the past behind you. You moved here for a fresh start.”
“I know.” I sighed as I looked at my watch. “I have to go check on my patient.”
“Yeah, me too.”
