How to Choose a Sweetheart (2013)
“He’s doing his best not to look around, but can’t help taking a peek at some of the others making their way in from the waiting room. There’s the man with the bleeding head and a woman with a finger that’s bent in the wrong direction. Even though the sight makes his stomach shrivel, he can’t help looking over at the injuries at every opportunity.
Alice is on a bed that has its back raised and she’s sitting up. Her tears have stopped, but her face is still blotchy and she’s watching a nurse who ...is carefully plastering her arm up to the elbow with some sticky, wet gauze. The nurse has deep brown skin and her black hair is cut short. She has big, dark rings under her eyes. Poor thing’s probably been up all night, Max thinks.
“How does that feel?” the nurse asks as she works.
“Sort of warm,” Alice says.
“This will have to be kept on for the next couple weeks. You’ll have to try very hard not to bang it or get it wet, OK?”
Alice nods and the nurse carries on, this time looking at Cath and Max.MoreLess
