Life had changed for the better after everything came into place. With the help of a family friend, her brother's determination, she was turning her life around from a path she thought she'd never make it out of.
And now she's checking her phone, her schedule, the texts from her brothers that come pouring in. From Tyler it's a barrage of memes and stupid things, from Ollie it's him talking about life and his wife and how smitten in love he is and how he wants fifty kids. Unrealistic and she knows he's being hyperbolic, but still, she laughs it off.
Right now waiting for her tea order. It used to be coffee, but after her heart surgery she doesn't intake too much caffeine just to be safe. But being distracted by work things, brothers, even her mother sending a mass amount of texts just the same she finds herself reaching for what she thought was hers as it was just called, but as she takes it and sips it her face contorts into disgust and confusion. Pulling back the cup from her mouth she swallows but she doesn't appreciate the bitterness that hit her tongue.
❝ Oh my…❞ She pulls the cup back from her mouth and reads the name. It does not read Melanie Brendan, it reads Chris Dane.
Well, that's not her, but she knows that name. She remembers that case. An officer who came in with a through and through gunshot wound. She remembers the rush of that day, the amount of blood. She's seen a lot working as a nurse in the ER along side of her brother and others, cops always coming in with something but she remembers him distinctly. Hard to forget eyes like his.
❝ Oh shoot, I am so sorry, I took your coffee by mistake.❞ she sets it back down, reaching into her pocket. ❝ Here, let me get you a new one, I doubt you want yours after I just took a big swig of it … which I regret.❞ then, she has to ask. ❝ How can you drink that? It's…oof…❞ then a pause as a blush touches her cheeks.
❝ You may not remember me, but I was the nurse when you came in before with the uh..❞ she taps where he was shot. ❝ Yeah…how are you doing? ❞ Melanie is quick to ask. ❝ Everything healing okay? ❞ The way she looks with caution and care she's trying to avoid the eyes otherwise she might just blush more.
How the hell does one flirt, or not flirt ?
Her brothers make it look so easy.
