into flames. His smile and those damn dimples made him so attractive that she could hardly breathe. Argh ! It wasn’t fair he made her feel this way. She didn’t even know the man’s last name because she was in such a spin she’d forgot to ask and didn’t even have sense enough to look at his name tag. It was weird, because Brad never made her feel this way then again, he probably saved his charm for the other women he was screwing.
    “God, what the hell’s wrong with me?” She grumbled and flopped over onto her stomach. Sure, he’s good looking, but so was Brad and look what he did. Look what Marc did to Rina. She closed her eyes and sighed. Good looks didn’t mean he was a decent man but something told her John was nothing like Brad or Marc. “He’s just a guy,” she mumbled as she drifted off to sleep.
    The buzzing alarm jolted her out of bed. Ten o’clock. It seemed like she just fell asleep and the energy to move didn’t seem to exist. The thought of a twelve-hour overnight shift twisted a knot in her stomach. She liked being a private personal care attendant, but the long hours were boring. Especially when the patient slept through most of it.
    Stephanie wished she could get a full-time job as a physical therapist. She’d only completed the personal care attendant course to give her resume a boost. Heaven knew the rent for this beautiful house was steep and with Marina still in school, what little money she was getting from her part-time job needed to go to Danny. Marina needed her and she wasn’t going to let her sister down.
    There was no way she could afford to miss this shift. She dragged herself out of bed, took a shower and headed to work.
    Children were her favorite patients, but working with the ones who weren’t going to leave the hospital was difficult. The little boy she was assigned to was Tristin and he was six years old with William’s Syndrome. She didn’t know much about it, except it was a genetic condition he was born with. He had medical problems too, including cardiovascular issues and developmental delays with learning disabilities, but he was the sweetest little boy and loved listening to music. H e’d sleep through the night, but someone needed to be there twenty-four hours a day just in case. Her favorite part of caring for Tristin was when he woke up in the morning. He had an infectious smile and expected a hug as soon as he woke. When his parents arrived in the mornings he would get so excited. Tristian was the reason Stephanie talked her father into making a regular donation to the children’s hospital.
    “You look tired, Steph!” Donna Green sat behind the nurse’s desk. Donna was one of her closest and oldest friends. They’d met in high school and remained friends ever since. They didn’t get the same shifts very often, so when they did it was catch up time.
    “I’m exhausted! Marina had the baby this morning.” Stephanie flopped down in the chair behind the nurse’s station.
    “So I take it Marc hasn’t come back.”
    “No! The asshole better not.” Stephanie tried to cover a yawn. “I think there’s more to the story, but Rina’s not ready to tell us exactly what happened.”
    “I’m sure she’ll tell you when she’s ready,” Donna said. “By the way, I applied for a position with that place I was telling you about last week.”
    “You did?” Stephanie wasn’t really surprised. Donna didn’t really like working in the hospitals. She’d tried for a long time to land a private nursing position.
    “Yeah, and they’re hiring at least six registered nurses.” Donna held up her crossed fingers. “And they’re looking for full-time personal care attendants and physical therapists. You should apply.”
    “Why?” It was too frustrating applying for jobs that she never got.
    “It’s only eight-hour shifts, and you only have to do four night shifts a month.” Donna handed her a piece of paper with the website.
    “That would be perfect.”
