Brooke sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. She was nearing the end of her 12-hour shift. For some reason, today she was more exhausted than usual. Brooke was used to working these long shifts, but if she happened to work when there wasn't much going on or too much going on, then it tended to drain her faster. A steady stream of work was just fine, but not having much to do for hours or having too many patients to look at in a short amount of time was not her cup of tea. Today, she had the latter.
She reached over into the desk of one of the secretaries and pulled out her phone. She dialed the number to her house, grinning when she heard Rufus's voice pick up. It didn't matter what sort of day she was having. Hearing her son's voice always seemed to make it all disappear. She talked to him for a few minutes before she let him go with a kiss, which he returned promptly.
As she was hanging up her phone, her boss came over and handed her a clipboard. "Few more hours to go, Hopkins," she said with a pat on Brooke's shoulder. Brooke simply nodded and trudged along toward her next patient. She was halfway down the hall when she heard someone call behind her.
"Brooke? Brooke Hopkins, is that you?"
