Knight On The Children's Ward (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
‘It’s okay,’ Annika said, and then she admitted the truth. ‘I’ll be glad when it’s over.’ ‘What have you got next?’ ‘Maternity,’ Annika said, as Elsie slurped her tea. She seemed to have caught her second wind these past few days: more and more she was lucid, and the lucid times were lasting longer too. She was getting over that nasty UTI, Dianne, the Div 1 nurse had explained. They often caused confusion in the elderly, or, as in Elsie’s case, exacerbated dementia. It was good to have her back. ‘I’m not looking forward to it.’ ‘What are you looking forward to?’ ‘I don’t know,’ Annika admitted. ‘How’s your boyfriend?’ Elsie asked when they were in the shower, Annika in her gumboots, Elsie in her little shower chair. ‘How’s Ross?’ ‘I don’t know that either,’ Annika said, cringing a little when Elsie said his name. ‘It’s complicated.’ ‘Love isn’t complicated,’ Elsie said. ‘You are.’ And they had a laugh, a real laugh, as she dried and dressed Elsie and put her in her chair.
