[b]Eva – Her House[/b]

Eva got off her shift at the hospital, having had to work emergency room the whole time. It was the most frustrating work, considering the patients were the most impatient, and the doctors were the slowest to get to them. So she was running back and forth to beeping lights all afternoon. Now she fell into the front seat of her car, sighing and closing her eyes for a brief moment. It just felt nice to be off her feet for a few minutes. But, running her fingers through her bright red hair, she knew home would be much more appealing. She started up the vehicle, heading back to her home across town. 

Her house wasn’t in the best or worst neighborhood in Crown City. You kind of had to know the layout of the town before buying a house in a town like this or you could end up on a street you wouldn’t want to walk down during the day, much less at night. And considering she had varying shifts there were many nights Eva didn’t get home til after dark. 

Tonight she pulled into her garage and walked inside the home, pulling off her scrubs with a slight sneer of disgust. She loved helping the patients, and she empathized with them more than most of the nurses she worked with. But scrubs were not her thing. She should have thought about that before getting her degree, she supposed. Scratching her head, she stood in front of her fridge half naked and realized it had been 2 weeks since Tony had taken her out to eat. Granted, a lot of it was her work in the way, but not all of it. Frowning, she closed the fridge door and dug through her purse to grasp her phone, leaning her backside against her cabinets while texting him. [i]I’m off work tomorrow. Hint hint.[/i] she sent, clear she expected him to pay her some attention in the next 24 hours.
