A BREAK IS NEEDED

Another day, another lunch break, another salad. If someone had never seen Nadine outside of work eat then they would probably be convinced she lived off of salads. Everyday she had one for lunch. It was a nice light lunch to have while working. And in the young woman's opinion, salads were the best during the summer. She made her salads fresh every morning but in the summer when the garden could grow the ingredients with out the aid of magic the ingredients tasted the best.

Making food was something Nadine enjoyed so she very serious about the salads she made and very proud of them too. Honestly, if anyone ever asked her to make them one she would have no problem doing so. That is as long as they didn't ask while she was on her way to go enjoy her salad. 

Nadine walked into the break room and bee lined straight for the fridge. She only gave a nod to one of the younger healers who was leaving the room as she entered. Luckily he just gave her a hello and didn't ask how she was. That nod would have come off as weird if he had. Her always present smile got a little bigger when she spotted the Tupperware that held her lunch. 

Turning from the fridge Nadine finally took in the room and who the occupants were. She was never really fond of having to find a seat to sit  in the break room. It felt like she was back in the great hall some days. Who do you sit with? Luckily Nadine saw Anna and knew that she would be no bother by sitting with the other nurse. She placed her lunch on the table. "Hello Anna," she said as she sat at the table, "How are you?"

[attr="class","lyric2mungo"]I been looking at the stars tonight
And I think oh, how I miss that bright sun
I'll be a dreamer 'til the day I die

[attr="class","textbodmungo"]Work was busy; that being said, work was always busy. One of the upsides to working in a hospital. Or, well... downsides. Because it wasn't the kind of busy that was actually good for anyone. Still, Anna liked busy. She enjoyed being kept on her toes and always having something to do. There was a muggle saying about that... idle hands are the devil's workshop. A bored mind couldn't possibly be a good thing. That had been something that Anna had always believed. And maybe that was one of the main reasons that she enjoyed being a nurse so much. It was the kind of thing that always pulled your attention elsewhere. There was never a dull moment, ranging from the most heartfelt cases to the most mortifying ones. After all, you had to learn how to take the good with the bad when you worked in a hospital.

Finally, though, she had managed to take one of her coffee breaks. After this, Anna would only have a few hours left in her overnight shift, and then she could head home. She had taken a double that evening, so it was safe to say she had hardly been prepared to stay awake quite this long, but they were short-staffed and Anna just hadn't found it in herself to say now. It didn't matter, though, because things had been going smoothly. All she needed was a quick coffee to get her spirits up once again, and then she could crash on the sofa as soon as she got home. Kase would probably be at a practice and Bee at school, so it was a given that the apartment would be perfectly quiet, at the very least.

Anna looked up from her coffee at the sound of a familiar voice, her face brightening as she recognized the fellow nurse. Nadine Vane was someone that she considered a close friend, and with both of them being former Ravenclaws, it was safe to say they got along quite well. "Hey, Nadine," Anna returned with a soft smile. "Oh, you know, the usual - exhausted," she replied with a dry laugh. Still, there was a smile on her face. It was hard to be truly annoyed with her work when she loved it so much. "How about you? How's your day going?" she asked.
