INK and IVORY

Chapter 1

Emma woke up to the soft rays of the morning sun filtering through the sheer curtains of her bedroom. As she stretched and yawned, she couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment. It was going to be a lovely day. The chirping of birds outside her window added a melodic soundtrack to her tranquil morning routine.

Emma had dedicated her life to the field of psychiatry, and she genuinely loved her work. As she went through her morning rituals, she couldn't help but think about the patients she would be seeing that day at the hospital. Their stories, their struggles, and their triumphs were what fueled her passion for her profession.

After savoring a cup of freshly brewed coffee and enjoying a leisurely breakfast, Emma decided to check her emails before heading to the hospital. She knew it was essential to stay updated and connected with her colleagues, especially when dealing with complex cases. Little did she know that this routine act of checking her inbox would soon turn her world upside down.

She sat down at her home office desk, firing up her computer and waiting for it to load. As the familiar desktop icons appeared, she clicked on the email application and watched as her inbox populated with messages. Most of them were routine notifications and professional updates, but one particular email caught her attention.

The subject line read, "Confidential: The Hospital Interdisciplinario Psicoasistencial José Tiburcio Borda." Emma's heart skipped a beat. She furrowed her brow, intrigued by the cryptic nature of the email. Curiosity mixed with apprehension as she hesitated before opening it.

Taking a deep breath, Emma clicked on the email, and her eyes scanned the message. The project was being spearheaded by a renowned team of experts in the field, and they were seeking Emma's expertise and insights.
