Joe walked up to the next nurse's station, lost in all the uniformity of the hospital.

"Excuse me, ma'am, but I seem to have forgotten my way to my room. These halls all look alike to me. I'm Joe Deeds."

"Hi there, Joe. Hope you liked your walk in the Gardens. Most people get a bit turned around in there."

"I'm Rosie and that's Charlene."

"Thanks, Rosie, that is indeed a nice Garden. Amazing, actually, to find it in the middle of a hospital."

"Well, we do have some longer-term residents here and it makes their stay more enjoyable so they heal faster. You might want to check out the info sheet in your room when you get back. We also have a nice library and a rec room, as well as an exercise center. Everything to help you with your healing. I'll make a note here for the hostess to come up and go over your options."

"Thank you, that would be quite nice. Did you find where my room was?"

"Oh yes, it's just in that hall straight ahead, fifth door on your left."

"I can see it, I think. Thanks again." Joe left down the hallway, leaving two nurses to themselves.

"Charlene."

"Yeah."

"Would be downright cute if he weren't so serious. Who's got shift tonight?"

"You bucking for night duty? Thought it was wearing you out."

"You're right. But wouldn't mind spelling someone if they needed a break. Bet he's an angel when he's sleeping."

"Never know. But he's certainly got the manners to suspect he is. File says he's single."

Rosie moved to look over her shoulder at her screen, then took a long look down the hall Joe is walking. "Wouldn't you know it. Well, well."

Charlene looks after him also and sighed, "Plenty of time left yet. He's going nowhere soon."
