“Same old, same old.” It was as much as Faith would
say about the job. Unlike other doctors, she didn’t talk shop. It was as though
she needed to set the reality of her work aside at the end of the day.
Rachel suspected it was a coping strategy, knowing that medicine needed doctors
who would fight that particular illness. “So, how’s Olivia?”
“Wonderful as ever.”
“We’ve still got the fitting on the weekend?”
“Of course,” Rachel confirmed with a smile.
Faith smiled back, pleased by the distraction.
“Good.”
Yep. Rachel will have to have the baby. Olivia reminds me of my agent--I couldn't picture her in jeans and a T-shirt, let alone pregnant!
ReplyDeleteWe've used Faith more sparingly as a character than Rachel.
ReplyDeleteWell-written piece of important exposition...
ReplyDeleteIt's good that Faith has this kind of attitude.
ReplyDeleteVery well written.
ReplyDeleteNice way to show Faith's attitude. And yes, sometimes we need a break from our professions, even for just a bit. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat snippet. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat 8! Wish my sister the nurse did that, I've run from the room with my hands over my ears more than once...
