Emery [bxb]

Emery and I are thrilled to be working together at Mercy Hospital.

He and I look good in white coats, the hottest doctors I've ever seen, for sure.

He introduces me to his new friends, Will the trauma surgeon and Madeline the respiratory therapist.

I'm happy to reconnect with old friends from home. Matthias is a radiation therapist at a nearby hospital, Danny is a diagnostic medical sonographer and Bella is doing medical imaging research. They came along to the tattoo parlour for our appointment. I hold Emery's right hand while the tattoo artist works on his left. I asked to do it myself but the artist jokingly said that my doctor's handwriting would probably translate to a sloppy job.

Lunch breaks are simply not a thing in our world. On those super busy days, I bring something slightly more like real food to eat than my usual power bar. If my muscles ever shrink from watermelon proportions, I'll seriously lose the will to live. So no matter how busy I am, protein comes first. And I heat up hot water for some tea for Emery, coffee for me.

Now that I'm back in Miami, I use my pitiful excuse of free time to help my uncle on his engineering projects. Between that and being on my feet all day, I fall into bed completely exhausted each night.
