Cathy took courses in healthcare as her desire to become a
nurse was her choice of profession. She did well and was at the top of her class
in grades when she finished. The next step was to visit various hospitals and
start the interview process. After two months of searching, Cathy was accepted
by two hospitals, so now the choice was hers. She decided on the one with less
pay, yet the more friendlier atmosphere and environment as peace of mind was
essential to doing her job properly. During the first year she became attracted
to a patient she was attending as he felt exactly the same way that she did.
During hospital hours it was very professional, yet after work it became a whole
other world. The dating lasted for one year until a former patient slipped an
engagement ring on her finger. She said yes to Carl's proposal of marriage. In a
way there was a healing of a sort for a lonely nurse and a lonely patient who
needed something more than a prescription with a medicine bottle. A fork in the
road about a choice between two hospitals made that difference. Case in point in
a short love story about Cathy and Carl, where a time and place leads us further
down the road to a final stop...
