“nothing ever ends poetically. it ends & we turn it into poetry. all that BLOOD was never once beautiful. it was just red."
“I swear the best part of volunteering is when I get to spend time with the little ones on the pediatric floor.” Noelle grins and sits down at a table. “When I see one of their little smiles, my entire day is made. Plus, one kid said I looked just like Ariel and if that’s not enough to make your entire day I don’t know what is.”Â
“it’s sad - “ the clink of her coffee mug hitting the break room table echoed through the small room. “can absolutely no hospital have good coffee? or is it just a running joke now?”
“that’s fair. perhaps they’re secretly trying to stop people from consuming too much coffee.” she jokes and gives a small shake of her head. “i think there’s a cart outside that has pretty good coffee, it’s about a two minute walk from the entrance.”
“Hi, sorry, I – I’m new and I’m looking for the pediatrics floor. I think I’ve seen this part of the hospital six times in the last half an hour.” Ivy’s cheeks flushed red as she spoke to the other person. “Sorry, again. If you don’t have the time, I can try again myself.”
“You happen to be in luck -- since starting to volunteer at the hospital that’s where I spend most my time.” Noelle flashes the woman a grin and walks closer. “Don’t worry, I have plenty of time. She points over at the elevator and encourages her to follow. “C’mon -- it’s this way.”Â
