What We Find by Robyn Carr
Chapter One.
Maggie Sullivan sought refuge in the stairwell between the sixth and seventh floors at the far west end of the hospital, the steps least traveled by interns and residents racing from floor to floor, from emergency to emergency. She sat on the landing between two flights, feet on the stairs, arms crossed on her knees, her face buried in her arms. She didn't understand how her heart could feel as if it was breaking every day. She thought of herself as much stronger.
”Well, now, some things never change,” a familiar voice said.
She looked up at her closest friend, Jaycee Kent. They had gone to med school together, though residency had separated them. Jaycee was an OB and Maggie, a neurosurgeon. And...they had hidden in stairwells to cry all those years ago when med-school life was kicking their a.s.ses. Most of their fellow students and instructors were men. They refused to let the men see them cry.
Maggie gave a wet, burbly huff of laughter. ”How'd you find me?” Maggie asked.
”How do you know you're not in my spot?”
”Because you're happily married and have a beautiful daughter?”
”And my hours suck, I'm sleep-deprived, have as many bad days as good and...” Jaycee sat down beside Maggie. ”And at least my hormones are cooperating at the moment. Maggie, you're just taking call for someone, right? Just to stay ahead of the bills?”
”Since the practice shut down,” Maggie said. ”And since the lawsuit was filed.”
