Tonight was one of the rare nights where Elena had the night to herself and wasn’t at the clinic locking up. One of the other doctors had offered to stay late and lock up tonight. So Elena had taken him up on his offer and left. Normally she would have insisted on staying and at least helping to lock up, but she was feeling restless this week for a reason she couldn’t quite put her finger on.
She needed a distraction and that had lead her to this little club on the edge of Hell’s Kitchen. It wasn’t a place that got too rowdy, but the music was loud enough and the place was busy enough to be a good distraction. She’d been here more than a few times before on the rare occasions where she took some time to just blow off some steam and get away from the hectic nature of her day job.
Walking up to the bar counter she took a seat at her usual spot. A quick nod to the bartender and he was off to get her what she normally got. Just as the beer was slid across the countertop to her Elena caught side of a head of red hair out of the corner of her eye. Something in her gut caused her to turn in her seat and look. Catching sight of someone who looked a lot like the young man she’d seen in her clinic not that long ago. She waved and tried to catch his attention to see if it really was him or just someone who looked eerily similar.
