A Wartime Nurse
“She was fresh out of a hot bath. Thank God for the bathrooms in the home, at least she wasn’t confined to the old tin bath which they all had to use in West Row. Straightening up, she winced and put a hand to her ribs. There would be a bruise there tomorrow, she surmised.
Sighing, she sat down in front of the dressing table and towelled her hair dry as much as she was able. She was dead tired, would just have to go to bed with it damp. Laying a fresh dry towel on her pillow, she switched off th...e light and climbed into bed, snuggling up under the bedclothes.
The room was black dark, not a chink of light from the moon which, perversely, had come out after the rain. Slipping out of bed, Theda drew back the curtains at the high window before running back. There was a full moon and its light beamed in over her bed, strangely comforting. Drowsily she watched the white disc with its ring of frost, feeling her body relax in the comfort.
How embarrassing it had been when she went through the door to find Ken Collins standing there with Major Koestler.MoreLess
