Chapter 13 Jamie

“This is what I needed,” I say as everyone around the table watches me. “Sisters. I never had any of my own, and well, you all filled that hole in my life.”
Greer leans over and kisses my cheek. He’s so sweet. I wonder if he’s picking up on the Amelia versus Roxy show. Maybe he’s enjoying this fabulous meal, dining in this amazing room. Roxy and Ryan are so lucky.
Really, we’re all so lucky. I look around the table and watch as Celeste and Zach lean together and share a secret. Likely making fun of all the old sorority memories. When Celeste sits back up, I’m struck again by her similarity to Sunny. It’s uncanny.
My phone buzzes in my pocket. It’s my duty nurse. I need to take this call.
“Excuse me for a moment. I have a patient who is in the ICU. They have a question about meds,” I say and hurry out of the dining room, finding a quiet spot in the hallway.
I call Sandra and she fills me in on the patient’s vitals. I advise her on the best treatment options and tell her to call me if anything changes.
I decide to head back to our room for a moment, grab something, before returning to dinner. With the Roxy and Amelia show on full display, I likely won’t be missed.
