"That's a dedicated doctor..." Craig slowly approached to Abby. "Are you intending to spend the night in this bar so you won't be late in the morning?"
"That's not a bad idea actually." She smiled at him. "But I'm here 'cause there is no food on my fridge."
"Not a shopping person?"
"Definitely no." He sat on a chair next to her.
"Me neither..."
Luka walked toward his car and searched deep on his pockets. Nothing. He had left the keys on his locker. He went back to the ER and entered into the Lounge when he heard a soft cry.
"Hey..." He sat on the couch next to his new med-student.
"She was...such...a nice lady..." Grace tried to explain herself between sobs.
"She had a stroke, in her age there was pretty much nothing we could do about it..."
"Yeah... But... All happened so fast... She was just talking to me and then..." She shook her head and tried to keep a straight face. "It had to be on my first day?"
"You're not thinking on give up, are you? Because you do have potential." She covered her face with both hands and began to sob again in a mix of cry and laughter. "You should go home and take some rest."
She stopped crying and frowned.
"I would but my stupid brother was supposed to take me home, and apparently he forgot about me!" He smiled, went to his locker and held the keys on the air.
"Let's go."
Luka opened his eyes and shifted slightly in bed looking at the alarm. He closed his eyes slowly. He had to get up and go to work. Suddenly he opens his eyes again and stares at the alarm. That was something odd on it. Nah... Maybe he was just tired.
He shifted position again and felt from the bed with the shock. That's why he couldn't recognize the alarm. It didn't belong to him. Neither the bed... or the room. His mind cleared a little and he remembered everything. He got up still with his jaw dropped. And laying on the bad was...
"Grace!" A voice came from behind the door and he panicked trying to pick up his clothes from the floor. "Do you want some breakfast!" She mumbled a half-awake no! and went back to sleep. The voice disappeared and he sighed in relief. 'Hope her brother is in a good mood...'
He walked slightly toward the bedroom's door and reached the kitchen. Sat in the table was another woman. 'Great! Her entire family is here!'. He tried to walk back to the bedroom but was too late, she turned to look at him. His jaw dropped once more and the same voice came from upstairs.
"What do you want for breakfast?" The woman kept looking at Luka, terrified as well. "Hey! Still there?" She then, tried to say something so Grace's brother wouldn't come down.
"I want a time machine!"
"Sorry, you're gonna have to live with eggs!" Luka walked toward her.
"Abby?"
