close and you family closer. After all its family who can hurt you the most. I
needed change, I needed a new life. Getting a job at a large hospital in
another state was the way to do it. A way to get away from my old life, from
the people who destroyed me. Working at a large hospital was a way to keep busy
and to not procrastinate on my broken life, my old life, and it was working,
until I met Rick Harvey. It started out as a favour for the mother I despised,
but turned out to be something so much more that happened so fast, it knocked
me on my ass. All I wanted to do was work my way up in the law firm I work at,
make sure that my father is proud of me and doing well himself and to meet a
girl that wouldn’t break my heart. That was the plan until I met Dr Lucy
Jackson, my mother’s favour. Call her to make sure that she was ok, settled in.
When that didn’t work out in the way that I had hoped, quick and easy, I was
asked to go and see her, to make sure that she had all of her arms and legs.
Big mistake. One look and I was a gonna. One look and I could see that she was
fragile. As it turned out our story would be fragile.

Teaser
I walked over and pulled the curtain back and stopped stunned. I didn’t want to see him or speak to him, but here he was in my ER. Deciding to keep it professional, I stepped into the small space and pulled the curtain closed and reached for the chart sitting on the end of the bed.
“I’m Dr. Jackson. They say you’ve been having headaches and dizzy spells?” I looked up at him and saw that he was smiling. “So help you, Rick, if you’re wasting my time right now I will give them a reason to admit you and it won’t be pleasant.”
“You weren't answering my calls or texts.”
“So, there’s nothing wrong with you then.”
“Lu, please hear me out.”
“I have actual patients who need to see me.” He stood up and came over to me, taking my hand but I pulled it away before he could get a good grip on it.
“I was out of line.”
