CHAPTER TEN-THE LIGHT
While the woody bergamot smell of Haldir's skin lingered in her nose and the pulse of his heart beat against her ear, Mory's eyes fluttered open. She breathed a happy breath through her nose as she closed her eyes and smiled to herself realizing that the last two days had been no dream.

Mory stretched out her neck as she walked down the hall to the office she shared with James. The familiar smell of good Cuban cigars wafted through the distal end of the hall. As she entered the doorway, James looked up from his papers and swatted the smoke away while putting out his cigar in the ashtray. "So, how was the first day?"Sinking back into the soft tufted leather club chair across from him, Mory stretched her legs out in front of her. The old worn-in material felt like butter against her sore legs. Haldir had put her body to the test in the best kind of way over the two nights they spent together and there wasn’t an inch of her that wasn’t calling out for the comforting heat of his big, rugged hands. "Not too bad. Those kids have a lot to learn, but nothing me and the boys can't handle Chief."Taking a bottle of whiskey from the drawer of his dark oak desk, James raised his eyebrows to Mory then took out two glasses.

"Stop. Don't see him. Not now." Mory closed her eyes and breathed deeply though her nose as she tried to calm herself. Braced against the wall of her office with her hand, Mory bowed her head and practiced the breathing exercises she learned for James. "In through your nose, out through your mouth."Opening her eyes, Mory's eyes darted around the room and she sighed a breath of relief. "Ok. It's over."As Mory slumped down in her office chair, Percy, the English medic, leaned in the doorway. "We're going to pop over to the pub. You almost done here?"Mory grinned and shook her head. "Nah, you boys go on ahead. I got to get this charting taken care of."Percy slapped his hand on the doorframe then twisted his lips to the side. "Can I ask you something?"Mory glanced up and nodded. "Of course. What's up?"Percy sat down in the club chair and leaned over w

With the smell of disinfectant and James’ stale cigars wrapped around her head like a plastic bag stifling her of all the fresh air that exists, Mory gasped short, shallow breaths as she stumbled through the hall.Stopping at the bathroom door, Mory looked up and down both sides of the hall and bounced quickly as she tried to decide what to do. “You have to go to the bathroom sometime. Just get it over with.”

The soft flannel of Haldir's sheets tickled her knees as Mory crawled across the bed. As Haldir put more wood in the stove, Mory rested her cheek on her arm and watched as the firelight lit up his face. The warm, smoky scent made Mory close her eyes and think back to the days on bonfires with her friends in high school.Pulling the blanket up to her chin, Mory took a deep breath of Haldir and opened her eyes again. "I'm sorry about all that earlier. I told you I'm a whole lot of crazy."

The bright morning sun burned into Mory’s eyes as it reflected off the snow outside the window. “For the love of God. I’m buying you new curtains for this damn place.”Pulling her back against his lap, Haldir rubbed himself into her ass. “Don’t bother, were not staying here any longer anyway. I stayed up most of the night thinking about it, and I’m taking you somewhere beautiful tomorrow.”As she tried her best to shield herself from the blinding light with her pillow, Mor

“One and two and three and four…” counted Percy quickly as the sweat dripped off of him. The smell of alcohol swabs and burned hair wafted through the room and the whooshing sound of the ambu bag kept rhythm with Percy’s grunts as Neville squeezed it and breathed another worthless breath into the dead body. While Mory looked at James and waited for the next command, she shook her head and tried to breathe her way through the sick feeling in her gut. The light around his face glowed an eerie mauve as Mory watched James while he called out the next order. “This is fucking pointless, but let’s try another amp of epi.”

The fresh layer of snow crunched under the treads of his boots as Haldir stepped out of the mist behind the Inn where he first held Morana in his arms barely a week ago. He smiled to himself as he remembered them standing beneath the starry sky and full moon in that very spot and how she shyly turned away from him as his cheek brushed hers. Walking from the back of the wood log building, Haldir glanced over to the hospital. He knew she was probably still elbow deep in whoever the poor soul was she was fighting for right now, but just seeing the place she worked made him feel close to her.
