"You call her parent's yet?" asked Susan. "Yeah, Their coming on the next available flight. So they should be here tomorrow. I hate making these calls" Neela replied. " No one does" replied Susan. "How's your patient?" Michael asked Neela as he came over to the admit desk. "She just went up to surgery" said Neela. "The guy that was in the car with her didn't make it." Michael said with a sigh.
"You ready to go home?" Michael asked Neela. "Yeah" she replied. She turned to Susan and said "could you call me when her parents get here and with any news on her? I'd like to talk to them if that's okay with you." "Sure I will Neela. Now you two get home and get some rest. You have to be in at work tomorrow afternoon. You need your rest" replied Susan.
As Michael and Neela walked into their apartment Neela turned to Michael. "What a day" said Neela. "Yeah, I know" replied Michael. "Do you want to take a shower first?" asked Michael. "No you go ahead. I'll start making dinner." replied Neela. "Okay, honey." Michael said has he leaned over and kissed her.
Neela started to make dinner but then she started to blank out. She kept thinking about the accident and about all the patients that they helped. But she kept thinking about Ruthie for some reason. All of the sudden she heard Michaels voice. "Neela the stove!" yelled Michael as he came running over to her. That's when she realized that she left the stove on and that there was smoke coming from one of the pots. Michael came over and turned off the stove and covered the smoking pan.
"Oh no, I'm sorry. I guess I wasn't paying attention." said Neela. "It's ok, we both had a long day. Why don't we just order out. Chinese food okay with you?" asked Michael. "That sounds just fine" she replied. They sat watching tv while they waited for the food to arrive. They were both tired so they fell asleep on the sofa before the food arrive.
They both were startled when they heard the buzzer. "I guess that's the food" yawned Michael as he got up to get his wallet. "I'll go get the plates and stuff replied Neela. After dinner they both went to bed. "Finally sleep" thought Neela as she laid her head on the pillow.
