and quickly got out of bed. She parted the curtains in her room and enjoyed the sun's beautiful light.
    “What a beautiful day...” she told herself.
    She had slept soundly and without any nightmare at all. It had been a long and restful sleep that energized her for the day ahead. For the first time in years, Josie was actually looking forward to her work today. The cloud that hung over her head for several years had finally gone away, and it was because of one man. And that man's name was Blake Ingram.
    Josie took a quick shower and hastily put on her white coat. She reached for her pocket and took out her cellphone. She texted Blake. It said: 'Good morning honeybun. Going to work today. hbu?'
    Josie kissed her phone's touchscreen and put it back in her trousers pocket. She had finally realized she should let go of her worries and let love flow into her heart. And it felt good.
    Meanwhile, in a small but beautifully furnished home, Blake laid still in his bed under his warm blankets, still sleeping from his date last night. His cellphone's loud ringtone shook Blake into wakefulness.
    “Aghh!” Blake suddenly opened his eyes and rubbed them. He blindly reached for his phone. He silently cursed his phone. Blake was never really a morning person and often found himself getting jarred to wakefulness by his cellphone. This morning was no exception.
    “What... time is it..?” He checked his phone and saw the time. It was 8:05 am.
    “Shit! Class starts in 20 minutes!”
    Blake rushed into his bathroom and brushed his teeth. He washed his face with some soap and put on some deodorant. He decided not to bathe, as he was already late and couldn't afford to waste any more time. The deodorant would have to do.
    He quickly rushed into his car and drove away. “Crap, I hope there isn't any traffic today...” Blake told himself. Despite his youthful and child-like attitude, Blake still valued promptness above everything else. He had never been late to any of his classes before. He firmly believed that if he set an example to his students, the children would soon follow his lead. Amidst all of Blake's hurrying and rushing, he had forgotten to take his cellphone with him. It was left behind in his drawer, waiting for him to reply to Josie's message.
    “Paging Dr. Josie Steele. Paging Dr. Josie Steele. Please proceed to room 204 immediately. Thank you.” Josie heard the nurse's command from the paging system and put down her coffee. She reached into her pocket and checked her phone.
    'Still no reply...' she thought to herself.
    It had already been an hour since she’d texted. Josie had noticed that Blake was usually prompt with his replies. She normally received his replies within 5 minutes after she messaged him. She was starting to get worried. What if something bad had happened to Blake? Or worse, what if he was out seeing another woman? Josie quickly shook her head and stood up.
    'Get hold of yourself, Josie. His phone's probably on silent and he's having a class. Yeah, he's having a class... well, whatever it is he's doing, I can't think about it now. I've got a job to do. People are depending on you, Josie. Time to get back to the real world.'
    Josie's analytical brain kicked in. Years of med school and training under pressure had taught her to set aside any negative emotions while the job was at hand. Today, she would have to apply all that. Blake's no-reply could wait.
    Josie did her best not to think about Blake and hastily made her way through a crowd of doctors, nurses, and sick patients, through the hallway to room 204.

    “I hope you all read the story about Hamlet over the weekend as I asked you to, because we'll be having a test about it today,” Blake said loudly.
    The classroom was filled with teenagers who didn't seem very excited about their surprise test. The students quietly took their notebooks from their bags and placed them on the tables in front of them.
    “Crap, I forgot to read this story last
