I open my eyes
I am on a train
Molly is sitting next to me, Jane across from me
They are playing with cardsI look at them
It seems Jane is winningNo wonder
In all the years I've known Molly, she never won any game
She is too nice to be a winner I guessMOLLY: Lina, you are awake!
JANE: Sorry we played without you. Molly didn't want to wake you up.Of course, she didn't
ME: It's alright. Where are we?
JANE: We are almost there. 2 more stops.MOLLY: I can't wait.
The train stops
I see some people getting off the train, and others getting on boardA lady arrives next to us
S he looks at the number on the last vacant seat and smiles at usLADY: Well ladies, it looks like I am with you.
She sits
Molly and Jane greet her
Her face looks familiarShe sees me looking at her
LADY: Are you alright?
I think I am being rude
ME: Sorry, it's just... your face looks so familiar. Have we met before?
LADY: I don't think so. What is your name?
ME: Lina. What is yours?
LADY: Melissa.Ah
ME: Ah.
Never mind
ME: Yeah no, never mind.
LADY: Well, I am a nurse. Maybe we met at the hospital? It actually happens more than you think.
MOLLY: Really?
JANE: I am so bad with faces. And with names too.
MOLLY: I am actually pretty good with that!Only nice people are, Molly
And I think we have already established that you are one of themNo need to brag
Jane, on the other hand, is obviously not a good personI look at the bag Melissa is holding
Then it hits me!
Of course!A nurse!
ME: Wait, I remember you!
I guess I am a good person after all
Suck on that JaneMELISSA: You do? Well, I am glad.
ME: Yeah, you were in one of my dreams. You were also a nurse, only I didn't know your name.
MELISSA: In your dream?It all makes sense now
I must be dreaming again
And that Melissa lady is like a regular characterI did not know that was a thing though
