Journal Entry #1
Year 2024
Time: 10:24pm
Daniel Gonzalez

It was a cold night in Paris, the wind dashing against the window panes of the Medical Clinic, the bystanders passing by like nothing occurred. At that time I wished to be free of the confines of my reckless job but alas I sat waiting for my shift to end. I luckily had an hour and a half to go before next shift pranced in to relieve me. All day the patients were needy and although I adored my job as a nurse, it seemed like the day would never end.
Time finally passed with only ten minutes to spare before the other nurses arrived. I got all of my belongings ready and waited silently...and then.....they came. It was the usual staff of night nurses but there was one amongst them that I had never seen before. He was...gorgeous and young...maybe even too young for my 30 years. I had never seen anyone so tall, lanky, but muscular, and with the most noticeable freckles around his nose.
I saw him yes...but I didn't make it obvious that I was staring.
"Hola Libby, how was it?" Sarah is a sweetheart. She was full of rainbows and sunshines.
"Hola Sarah, the day couldn't have been any easier. You know how it gets when the weather is cold..."
"I hear ya girl...oh hey we have a new nurse. He will be working different shifts until he is comfortable with only one. Daniel Gonzalez meet Liberty White..but we call her Libby for short."

"Hello Liberty, it is nice to meet you finally!"

"Finally?"

"Oh sorry, the girls have been talking about you nonstop. They are simply impressed you can work a shift by yourself."

"That's nothing..just takes a bit of positivity and hard work. Thanks girls for keeping my reputation clean as a whistle." They all laughed at me as I was about to walk out.

"Oh right, it is also nice to meet you as well. Hope you enjoy your time here!"

"I intend to!" He said with a smile so bright, if I was not standing I would surely be falling. I am not one to ogle men because I cared about my job way too much...but can you blame me?
