She was exactly like him... The dark brown eyes that you could get lost
in, the come-hither stare, the gorgeous smile, the unmistakable laugh...
and the cowboy medicine.
Nothing But The Rain
Prologue
She stared up at the ceiling in silence. The trees were blowing and casting shadows on the walls as the moon shone through the open window. It smelled of rain. a storm was coming. It was 2:34am. She could hear the thunder rolling in the distance as she slowly climbed out of her bed and walked towards the bathroom. Opening the medicine cabinet, she yawned. She took out a bottle of pills and popped a couple of them into her mouth. She replaced the bottle and closed the cabinet. She stared at herself in the mirror for a minute, running her hands through her shoulder-length blonde hair. Sighing, she filled a cup with water and took a couple of sips, swallowing the pills. Maybe now she could get some sleep before having to get up at 7am. Rinsing out the cup, she yawned again and walked back out into her bedroom. It was going to be a busy day. it was her first day as a second year resident at Cook County General Hospital in downtown Chicago. Even though she had grown up in Chicago, it was strange coming back after all these years. It was strange leaving him. She crawled back into bed and pulled the covers up around her. She drifted off to sleep with the rain starting to fall and the thunder growing closer.
