Chapter Text
I walked into the hospital on a warm summer day, adjusting the collar of my teal scrubs. I stopped at the front desk,
"Hello, it's my first day," I told the receptionist.
"John Klatt?" she asked
"That's me," I said with a smile.
She directed me towards a chair, and soon a doctor came to fetch me, and thus began the job that would change my life forever.

Several months later

"Nurse Klatt, we need you in room 31 right now," a doctor said to me. I made my way there, where a man was lying in the bed.
"Hello, Mr........Chad?" I said, confused at the lack of name on his chart.
"I know. It's not everyday you meet someone without a last name," said Chad quietly, looking up at me and staring into my eyes with his own blue ones. I felt a lump in my throat and coughed.
"So, why are you here today?" I asked.
"Are you even reading my chart? I have diabetes," Chad mumbled, rolling his eyes.
"I knew it," I said, wagging my finger at him. I began caring for Chad, him making much more eye contact than I felt was necessary, but John Klatt isn't a liar.....I didn't mind. Chad was well enough to leave by the end of the night, and I was never so sad to see someone recover.
