"Keep up with what, all the patients? You're going to need a time machine for that," she replied with a slight quirk of her lip, stepping closer to Emma and giving her a gentle nudge in the direction of the staff room.
It had been a hectic morning and the patients were still piling up. Usually by now she'd have slipped off for a quick smoke, but she'd promised Benji, and herself, that she'd stay off them. So coffee would have to do.
Better for Emma anyway, but mostly she just wanted to give the girl a break. The poor graduate had been thrown into the thick of it from day one, and with each passing day of the heatwave came more and more patients pouring through the doors. The kid deserved a rest.
"Come on, a cup of coffee will put some fuel back in the tank. You're going to need it here, especially if this heatwave doesn't show any signs of letting up."
