Stella's perfect day includes working long shifts as a nurse, drinking copious amounts of coffee and doing her best for her patients by the time she's home. The only trouble she likes is what she can fix. But on the first day of her new job in upsta...

"You two talked? I thought you didn't like him."
"I didn't but we talked."
"About what?"
"Um he seemed pretty unhappy with everything so I might have suggested he should go be happy instead of miserable here in Syracuse."
"And then he quit," Dr. Herzberg shook his head.
"Yeah but what are you doing here? Picking up your stuff to leave?"
"Does that mean you want me gone like Harlan or that you're happy to see me?"
"You didn't answer my question," I almost stuttered and his inappropriate question.
"I'm not leaving."

"That was the plan but he can do it on his own, he doesn't need me there to babysit him though Vera would've liked it."

"Doctor Herzberg your patients are here," Carrie walked in to his lab to let him know.
"Thank you Carrie but Stella's got it from here," he said but I wasn't supposed to be working for him yet, the trial was only going to start when Dr. Fitzgibbons came back.
"I thought she was only doing the trial," Carrie retorted.
"No, I told the chief it'd be easier if Stella didn't have to float around in your well organized schedule. And we both agreed it'd be best for her to be already involved in what I'm doing in the absence of Dr. Fitzgibbons."
