"Hmm? What's her name?" he asked.
"Olivia, she's coming in from London. Why?" I asked.
"I don't know, it sounds oddly familiar, but I can't remember why,” he replied. "Try calling Ben. But don't tell him her name."
"Thanks, little bro," I sighed in relief.
"No problem," he said before hanging up.
"Call Ben?" Stacy asked.
"Call Ben," I sighed.
"You really need to work on your clumsy attitude, though. Your brothers will not always be there to bail you out," she warned.
"I know," I sighed.
My clumsy attitude would always cause problems for others around me.
Ben
I looked over my plans to restructure the hospital in a way that would let me have more time for Chloe. Everything was in place. If I followed the plan, I could at least be home by six pm, and we'd have dinner together.
It's been a year since we cooked together; she had been saying she wanted to do it again. I didn't want her to wait any longer because of me. My phone started to ring. I noticed it was Ethan calling. Unlike me, I hadn't asked how his nurse plan was going.
"Hello?" I answered.
"And a lovely day to you my sweet brother," he greeted warmly. "Do you know that cells work better in the body because they get help from other cells? In fact, our body is just a reminder that when one part of us is in trouble, the others can help fix it."
"What did you do this time?" I asked.
"I don't get why you and Ian always assumed I did something," he replied.
"Well, you always drop a word of wisdom or a parable whenever you needed help from us," I reminded him as I turned my attention to the schedule I had come up with. "So, what is it?"
"Well, I found out that I have made a mistake," he replied. "Remember my nurse transfer program?"
"I just remembered I didn't ask you how it was going; sorry about that," I apologized.
"Ahhh, that's why you're the sweetest amongst us," he said, "Well, I have a problem. The program and the slots available at my hospital are five, but I have an extra nurse."
"You asked Ian?"
"His hands are full," he replied. "I thought maybe you would need the extra hand. Besides she's already on a flight to Richmond as we speak."
"It would suck turning her away, wouldn't it?" I asked.
"I'm glad you understand big brother," he replied. "So, will you help me?"
I looked at my schedule. I didn't necessarily need an extra nurse. But to have someone help out wasn't a bad idea at all. Besides, I had a strong feeling, telling me not to turn him down.
"Alright then," I said. "Will I be the one paying her as well?"
"I don't mind paying her, though," he said. "It's my fault."
"I'll help you out," I said, "and she'll send her reports to you."
"Thanks, big brother, now about her lodging," he said. "We didn't account for her stay here. And most of the nearby hotels are all booked for the week. I wouldn't want her paying a lot of money on transportation."
