Jill looked up as a nurse entered the room with a tray. She hoped it would be the one who was on reception when they arrived. It wasn't; it was Nurse Johns again. But it wasn't since this nurse had blue eyes, not green eyes. Jill looked at her name badge. "Nurse Helen Johns" it read. They must be sisters, Jill thought. They were too alike not to be.
"Supper!" she announced, smiling.
Katie looked up from the sketch she had been drawing. "Good!" she grinned, "I'm so hungry!"
Jill smiled. At least Katie hadn't lost her appetite. She approached the table where they had already eaten breakfast and dinner. Katie was already tucking into sausages, mashed potato and cabbage. It was only 5:30pm. They never ate this early in the evening. When Jill eventually sat down, Katie was delving into a heaped bowl of jelly and ice cream.
"Katie, slow down!" she warned her.
"I'm hungry," Katie moaned.
Jill smiled and took a bite of sausage. They gave large portions at the Unit, she noticed. They must think that they didn't eat at home.
