Synopsis
Yesterday I passed out in the supply closet and the head surgeon found me. In six months, he's never looked at me once, I'm just another nurse. I've been skipping meals and picking up extra shifts to pay off my mom's medical bills, but I haven't told anyone. He found me and carried me to one of the beds, but my phone slipped out of my pocket, and the screen lit up with the bills and the past due notices. I woke up in a hospital gown with him standing over me, his fingers pressed against my wrist as he carefully watched the monitor. Suddenly, my landlord barged in demanding I sign the eviction papers so he could kick me out of my apartment. The second my landlord saw him, his attitude completely changed, he started to leave but then turned back, and stammered, "D-Dr. Cross, sir... I didn't know she was... yours." He didn't even look at my landlord, just kept his attention focused on me, and growled, "Get out." My landlord scurried away as he turned back to me, his hand still on my wrist, "Don't worry about your apartment, you're coming home with me."
