Hopefully still doing my job. Maybe a bit wiser. Moved out of my apartment and into an actual house. A lot more adventures on my list though, that’s for sure. Who knows, I tackle life one day at a time. I just hope I’ll be in a good place.

I can’t pick one, sorry. But I’ll gladly tell you about those I have in mind. I admire my family. I admire my dads for always supporting each other, as well as Levi and I. They never told us that something was impossible, instead they pushed us forward. They created a safe haven, called it home and never, not for a second, made us doubt their love. I admire my brother for what an amazing father he is to Micah and what a huge heart he has. He only settles for the best and best is the only thing he deserves. At work, I admire Dylan. Not just because she’s my best friend but whenever I get to work with her, she just blows me away. She’s a great surgeon and I’m sure her name won’t go unnoticed. And again, she’s an amazing parent to little Nathan.

Chocolate. Always. Without a single doubt.

I am, for sure. Technically he isn’t even a surgeon yet. My baby brother is still a resident.

Nora had made her way to a café near the hospital, desperate for some proper coffee between all the cups of the less than enjoyable vending machine stuff she consumed during a normal shift. Glancing up from the newspaper she had been flipping through absentmindedly, she shook her head firmly. “Look, I don’t know a whole lot about the hottest music of today but surely there are more than three popular songs they could play. Or perhaps this place is in one of those time loops.” 

     “ – i can feel you judging my moves,” the male continued to throw some minor shoulder action into his little jig, “and quite frankly, I don’t care one tiny bit.” he threw them a wink, partnered with a slight smile, before closing his eyes and bobbing his head a little to the beat. “come on, I know you want to come dance with me. don’t be a party pooper!”

“Yeah, you not caring is showing. Don’t worry about that.” Emma couldn’t help but laugh as she watched the male move. “I’m good, thanks. Wouldn’t want to compete with those moves. Any reason you have the need to move those hips or you just feel like dancing it out?” 

“i saved six lives today. six,” levi smirked as he turned to face the nearest person. “six out of six, man. that means you should totally buy me a drink.” 

„Six?“ Emma slowly nodded her head while the corners of her lips twitched into a smile. “I hate to admit it but –“ Turning fully towards him, she poked his chest with the pen she’d been holding. “– Not bad. I’ll get you two drinks for that.”

“i’ve never really been one for birthday parties,” jules rubbed the back of her neck as she replied. “i’m more of a wine and dinner kind of girl when it comes to birthdays, maybe we could do that instead.” it wasn’t that the concept of parties was terrible, it was that they shoved her out of her comfort zone and she didn’t like that; not one bit. “i think we should skip the part where the rings get lost, though. i have a feeling that dylan would kill me if i lost mine. to be fair, i’d whack myself if i lost them.” her engagement ring and her wedding ring were her prized possessions, after all. “maybe i should put an ad out in the chicago tribune. almost thirty year old cop looking for a cure to aging, only crazy smart people may apply.”
