Marine Ever After (Always A Marine) - Plot & Excerpts
Deep breathing quieted the gurgles in her stomach.“Oh, come on, not you, too.” Jodi’s voice came from somewhere behind her. But Lillianna didn’t dare sit up and look at her boss. “Go home, Lil. Get some rest. I’ll find someone to cover your shift.”“I’ll be fine.” Lillianna exhaled a hard breath and straightened. A hard swallow kept the bile down and she managed a small smile. “We’ve been dramatically understaffed and you don’t have anyone who’s been off in the last twenty-four hours.”“I know I don’t. I also know you’ve covered more than your share of shifts three months ago and in the last two weeks.” Jodi squeezed her shoulder. “Go home. Forty-eight hours. Stay there. I’m taking you off the call rotation. Get some sleep, puke your guts up, do what you need to do. Take a saline bag or three home, too. Make sure you stay hydrated.”She left before Lillianna protested. Jodi was good people. Her stomach swam on another wave of nausea and she had to stuff her fist to her mouth and race for the stalls on the far side.
