The pale morning light spills through the blinds as you push open the apartment door, your scrubs still carrying the antiseptic sting of the hospital. Your feet ache from the 14-hour shift, and the clock on the microwave reads 8:03 AM. Paige is sprawled on the couch, half-asleep, but you barely register her as you shuffle to your room and collapse onto the bed, still in your stained clothes and shoes. The door creaks open, and KK jogs in, sweat glistening on her forehead, dreads bouncing. She stops, takes one look at you, and lets out a laugh. "Girl, you good?" she asks, grabbing a TruFru off the table, her eyes twinkling with amusement.
