Monica was looking through some papers when Ewan arrived at her door. He looked determined and didn't bother to fully enter the room. She had barely looked up when he began talking.
"Are you still looking for that second chance?" He asked her, his hands jammed into his pockets.
"I have a session with Elizabeth in five, in my office" he said seriously before exiting as abruptly as he entered.
Monica wondered what Elizabeth's session had to do with her. Then again, the shame and guilt of attempting to get Elizabeth fired when all she was doing was helping Jason, Monica's son, had eaten at the older woman in a manner she'd never admit. Suddenly she was curious as to what the young nurse would tell Dr Keenan. She was sure that the incident from yesterday would be brought up by Ewan, and now she was dying to know what Elizabeth was going to say.
She immediately knew what Ewan had meant when she reached his office. The door was left a crack open. Enough so that Ewan could probably see Monica's shadow, and enough that Monica could hear everything that was being said.
And what she heard cut through her heart and brought her to her knees. She could practically feel Elizabeth's resentment as she told Ewan what she would hypothetically tell Monica if she had no risk of losing her job.
Finally, Monica left. She couldn't take anymore as Elizabeth's last words sliced through the last of Monica's defenses.
"So every time I see Monica Quartermaine's face I can't feel sorry for her because I can't see past her haughty martyred attitude to a caring woman who would have been a great grandmother to a little boy who never knew her."
