“I don’t spend a lot of time here,” he told her. “Most of the time I’m at the Forest.”
“Sounds like my job. I feel that I’m at the hospital more often than I’m not. I barely have time to sleep at my house.”
“Half the time, I don’t even sleep here,” he admitted. “It’s just easier to sleep at the station.”
She paused for a moment and then said, “Did you ever expect this?”
Alex was standing by the door, ready to go, but he walked closer to her and asked, “Expect what?”
“Me? Us. Look at you, Alex. You have exactly what you want in life. A satisfying, challenging job where you can make a difference in the world. A couple of guys who are closer than brothers. It’s exactly what you want, isn’t it? And then here I come, barging into your life, and I’m sure I’m rocking the boat.”
