Dana swictched off the X ray light box after she analyzed the X ray films from one of her patients. She sat on her chair, leaning her back with one of her hands massaging her temple. This one and a half months had been headache for her, with her setting up the new equipment, performing three heart transplant surgeries and follow up on her patients’ conditions as she had been away for almost one month. She was on call tonight, therefore she decided to just stayed in her office to get her other works done. Feeling better after massaging her temple, she got up and logged on into the London hospital network to check for e-mails. She scanned through the mail box. She got e-mails from Harrison asking her the progress of her setting up the equipment, from the head of the department regarding the heart transplant surgeries, from the finance regarding her claim for the business trip, and others were from the admin side, colleagues and junk mails. She replied the important ones before she headed to the cafeteria for coffee.

About thirty minutes later, Dana managed to replied all the important e-mails and settled in the cafeteria with a cup of hot coffee in her hands. She looked through the window and exhaled. Her mind was wondering what her fiancee was doing on the other side of the world. It had been one and half month since she last seen Alice, and she was so busy with her tight schedule that she barely had the time to call her. Well, she managed to call her a few times, but their conversations were short, either interrupted with the nurse paging her to go to the patient’s room or cut by her boss as he motioned her to go to his office. The thought of not being able to kiss and touch her fiancee was driving her mad. The last time they had sex was the night she went up to reveal her indentity to Alice, and that’s all. Dana could still remember the day Alice sent her off to the airport. She was driving Alice’s mini with Alice sitting at the passenger’s side looking through the window most of the time. It was a quiet journey. Dana hated it when Alice was all quiet, when she’s quiet it meant she’s hurt. She would rather to have Alice shouting and yelling at her. But she couldn’t do anything but to ensure Alice that she would call her as frequent as she could. Alice just smiled lightly at her, but Dana knew that Alice was just faking out a smile to comfort her. When they were standing in front of the departure gate, Alice didn’t talk much.They hugged and said their goodbyes, after a while Alice pulled away from the hug and smiled lightly at Dana before she turned and leave. Dana felt that her heart was being stabbed a hundred times seeing Alice’s like this. But she could not do anything, she had many important things on hand, assignments, surgeries and patients, therefore she had to go back to London hospital to carry out her responsibilities. So instead of running to Alice’s direction, she turned and quickly made her way passed the security scanner and boarded the plane, hoping that Alice would understand the nature of her job. Putting down her coffee, Dana looked at her engagement ring. God I missed her, she muttered.
