Urgent Care
““SO, WHAT’D I MISS?” GINA ASKED AS SHE WALKED Nora over to the employee parking garage. Seemed a long way to go. Gina usually managed to snare a spot in the closer patient garage, even though it was against the rules.
Unlike the patient garage, the employee one was fully automated, accessible only via employee IDs. The atmosphere was dark and stifling once they passed beyond the outside walls. Their footsteps echoed eerily as they trudged up the concrete staircase illuminated only by a flickeri...ng, low-wattage bulb at the top of each flight.
Nora looked even paler than normal in the dim light, her freckles pronounced, her eyes red-rimmed, with sagging circles beneath them. Gina wondered if maybe she needed a spa day more than a shoulder to cry on. Actually a spa day wasn’t a bad idea all around—Gina was past due for a pedicure, and her hair was crying out for Antonio’s magic touch. God, she was going to look awful at that damn ceremony Saturday night. . . .
They arrived at Nora’s Accord, and still Nora remained silent as she grudgingly handed Gina her keys.MoreLess
