Give yourself some credit,” Dale said. “You went out of your way to bring a fallen serviceman home. That says something about the kind of person you are.”

Nicole wasn’t being modest. She simply didn’t see herself as a soldier.

She wanted a quiet life with the people she loved. Everything else she did was just her way of doing her pak as a Yorwynian.

But Dale saw real potential in both her and Zeph, and he wasn’t ready to let the matter go.

Every time she turned him down, he came back with another reason to reconsider.

Eventually, Nicole’s patience ran out. “Sir, if joining the military is part of the deal, maybe I should reconsider working at the hospital.”

Dale quickly relented. “It isn’t! Whatever you’re comfortable with.”

Nicole pulled a bottle of heart pills from her bag. “This is my last bottle. We’ll have to see whether we can make more at the hospital.”

Dale gratefully accepted the medicine. “Are you free this evening? You and Zeph should come over for dinner. I’d love to have you.”

“Thank you, but I need to get home and sort a few things out before I start at the hospital tomorrow.”

“Another time, then. If you have any trouble at work, come see me.”

After she left, Dale headed straight to the hospital, pleased with himself. He found Mitchell busy with his work.

“Dr. Chapman, I’ve found you another doctor. A young woman from the southern military base. She starts tomorrow, so I’d appreciate it if you’d help her settle in.”

They were alone, so he spoke freely. “I don’t know how much medical experience she has, but she’s done a lot for us. If she’s capable, let her treat patients. If not, find her something a little easier.”

Mitchell spent his career in research and had little patience for people getting jobs through connections instead of ability. He frowned.

“What’s her name?”

“Nicole Floyd.”

Mitchell wondered if he had heard correctly. “Who?”

“Nicole Floyd.”

Dale mistook his surprise for resistance and tried to explain without making it sound like an order.

“I realize she’s young, but she helped one of our pilots at sea. She made sure his ashes came home and gave other survivors the coordinates for Yorwick. Then one of our senior officers had an angina attack, and she supplied the

medicine that saved his life.”

Mitchell wasn’t sure whether to laugh or sigh. “Nicole’s my student. She spent today teaching our staff how to prepare herbal medicines.”

Mitchell assumed Nicole had her reasons for not working at the hospital despite her skills. Everyone had their

own priorities, and he saw no reason to pry.

Dale stared at him, then laughed. “Well, how about that? I came here to introduce you, and she’s your student

That explained her sudden change of heart. She must have found her mentor at the hospital and decided to help.

Dale felt much better about hiring her.

Before the disasters, Mitchell was one of the country’s leading experts in alternative medicine. Anyone he personally trained was bound to know what she was doing.

With both of them at the hospital, Dale could worry a little less about keeping it running and focus on the other problems demanding his attention.
