Marley finished up the last of her rounds on the second floor of the hospital, and at this point she swore she could hear her feet screaming in the marble design Danskos.

It was 6am, and after fishing a double shift she couldn't wait to go home to fall into her bed. Usually she would have to rush home to send the kids to school on time, however with Ron home it gave her the ability to sleep in as soon as she got in.

As she headed into the office to grab her things, her coworker Danae came sauntering behind her since it was also the end of her shift.

"Before you go girl Scott wants to talk to you" she said grabbing her purse off of the wall.

"Ughh seriously, he waits until I'm about to go to ask for me, like I haven't been here for sixteen hours" Marley rolled her eyes.

"Tell me about it" Danae laughed, "Chile, you know these people think you're supposed to live here. Well whatever it is, he made it sound important"

"I promise you it ain't. But I'll see you later, girl"
The two waved as they headed their separate ways, and Marley wanted to make this visit to her boss's office quick. She gave the door a few knocks, and he shouted for her to enter.

"You wanted to see me?" Marley asked, not even stepping all the way in.

"Come in Marley, take a seat"

That was exactly what she didn't want to hear, and she reluctantly made her way inside the office. Scott sat focused on the computer as he created the schedule for the upcoming week, his tie stretched away from his neck and his shirt wrinkled from the long day slumped over. He took a loud slurp of his coffee, and Marley wished he would hurry up with whatever he wanted to say.

"So" he finally began, "I'm gonna cut straight to it. There's an opening in Cherry Hill hospital for a RN manager, and they called to see if we had any nurses that would like to apply. How do you feel about taking the position?"

Marley definitely wasn't expecting that, and was caught a little off guard.

"Cherry hill? How soon do they want to know" she asked biting her lip.

"It's open for now and they're taking interviews. Let me know, and I'll send over my recommendation. I see the work and time you put in here, and I think you'd do great in a higher position"

"Wow, thanks Scott" Marley beamed, "I appreciate it"

"No problem, let me know"

She nodded, and assured him she would as she headed out of the office excitedly. She wasn't sure if she would be able to interview for the job due to fact that both her kids and Micah were already enrolled in school for the year, and Cherry Hill was in a whole different state. That meant she would have to pick up and move her family, and that also meant that Ron would have to agree to it.
