The door creaked open, and Olivia's eyes fluttered open immediately, her breath catching in anticipation—only to drop just as quickly with disappointment. It wasn't Dylan. It wasn't the love of her life.
Letting out a low sigh, she shut her eyes again, willing herself to fall back into sleep. But the woman who entered had other plans.
"Good evening, ma'am." The voice was soft, professional, and sweet. "My name is Louisa. I'll be your nurse for the night shift. Dr. Blake has asked for you to be transferred to a room closer to his. I'd like to help you with that, if you're okay with it."
Olivia opened her eyes, eyebrows furrowing slightly. "Oh, that would be too much trouble for you. Why don't you wait until Dylan gets back? He can help with the transfer."
