It was hour six into her ten hour shift. She was tired. Her feet hurt. Her head hurt, she really needed caffeine and their coffee machine in the break room decided to break. It was a bad day. Doctor orders got placed in her inbox on her desk and she grabbed the sheets of paper. As a medical assistant with a certification and phlebotomy, it meant she did a lot more in the clinic than most medical assistants did. She gathered the various tubes she needed and her kit before heading to the patient’s exam room listed on the paper. Larissa knocked on the door a couple times before stepping inside, brown hues on the paper before she looked up with a smile. “Hiya, I’m Larissa, I need to draw some blood for lab tests,” she greeted as she pulled up a stool and sat down in front of the patient, “name and date of birth please?” she asked politely.

Wentworth had originally got the job as Lake Grimstones handy man to make some extra money. But he wasn’t expecting to enjoy it half as much as he did. Yes the work wasn’t glamorous, nothing impressive but he liked that it helped others in Lake Grimstone no matter what side they are on. It wasn’t unusual to get a request by residents from the government. Normally they weren’t big jobs, maybe a light switch was faulty or a blocked sink. Wentworth had arrived at the residents house he knocked on the door “Grimstone Maintenance, here to fix your paradise.” He was workshopping the tag line

After a long day at the local clinic, the last thing Larissa needed was for her AC to be on the fritz. Usually she liked to take care of things herself, but she knew nothing about what was wrong with it. She checked the filter and she thought it looked okay, again she didn’t know much about that side of things. She was smart, but book smart mostly. Eventually, she gave up and called the number for maintenance then she was given an arrival time. All she had to do was wait and suffer in a camisole and pair of shorts. The young brunette thanked all the heavens when she heard the knock at her door, hopping up from her couch and jogging over to it. “Thank god, my AC is out and I think I’m melting to death,” she managed to get out after she opened the door. Maybe it was a bit overdramatic, but she really did think she was going to melt. Larissa stepped aside to let the male in, fanning herself briefly to get some bit of cool air.
