What kind of hospital is this? Why aren't you sewing my ear back on?" Emma felt guilty for wanting to laugh. She thought she had seen it all. Working in the emergency room at Saint Joseph's was never boring. In the four years she'd been a nurse there, she'd seen a little bit of everything. Babies delivered in and just outside the waiting room. College students who took a dare to drink hand sanitizer when they ran out of beer money. Victims of car accidents. People afraid they were having a heart attack and those who were truly having one. This was new, though. The elderly gentleman was fretting about his missing ear quite unnecessarily. "Your ear is securely attached to your head, Mr. Wilson. We don't sew something on that hasn't fallen off," Dr. Gavin reassured him. She finished putting the stitches in the old man's arm and took the gauze Emma held out for her. "What?" Mr. Wilson turned his head and cupped his other ear. "I can't hear you, Doc, because my ear fell off! When are you going to put it back on?" He had been brought in by his wife, who reported that he'd fallen on their front porch steps. X-rays came back clear. No broken bones, thankfully. Mr. Wilson had some bumps and bruises, and there was a nasty gash on his arm, but the bigger concern seemed to be his delusion that his ear had fallen off. "We're going to find someone who can help you. I promise." Dr. Gavin lifted off her stool, removing her latex gloves. Her fiery-red hair was pulled back in a low ponytail, so different from the usual wild mess of curls. Her eyes fell on Emma. "I'm going to find his wife. Can you check on that psych consult? He should have been here by now." "I think someone may be avoiding someone," Emma whispered as she cleared away the suture tray. Dr. Tessa Gavin was a third-year resident and Emma's favorite doctor in the ER. Spirited and tough, Tessa reminded Emma of her eldest sister, Lucy. Much like Lucy, Tessa was a man-eater. Her most recent victim was a sweet and handsome psychiatrist from the hospital. Tessa sighed heavily. "Seriously. This is why I'm done. He's so sensitive, always wanting to talk about our" she cringed and made a face " -feelings'" "Oh, no," Emma gasped in mock horror. "Not your feelings." Tessa grimaced. She saved her compassion for her patients, not her boyfriends. "What about my ear?" Mr. Wilson's fist came down hard on the side rail. Emma yanked open the drawer with the petroleum jelly. "I've got some temporary adhesive right here, Mr. Wilson. We'll put this on while we wait for the next doctor to come check on you." "Thank you," Tessa mouthed as she slipped through the curtain. Dabbing the jelly around Mr. Wilson's perfectly attached ear, Emma glanced at the clock on the wall. She had twenty minutes before her shift ended. She needed to be out of there on time tonight. Big things were happening, and she was not going to miss any of it. She pulled off her gloves. "There you go, Fiction Fiction eBook, Harlequin<
