Snippet #1530124

Rachel rubbed the sleepiness out of her eyes as she unlocked the front door of the Asylum. She'd have to run home quickly to take River to school in a few minutes, but until then, she'd just stand here, waiting for the day workers to come. She ran her hand over her marble desk as she sat down, looking through the papers littering it for the thousandth time. She sighed, taking a long sip of her coffee, trying to wake up. Soon, she saw the day nurse, Lucy, enter with a smile on her face, as usual.
Rachel smoothed her skirt, and adjusted the candy bowl, then smiled warmly at the young nurse. "How are you today, Lucy?" She asked, pleasantly.
"Wonderful, thank you for asking." Lucy answered, "how is Rachel?"
"Rachel is fine." She replied, throwing some papers into the trash and looking up at the girl. "I think you are doing visits this morning, you should get to it right away."
Lucy nodded, grabbing a few pieces of candy and stuffing them in her pockets, for the patients, no doubt, before scampering off to do her job.
Once again, Rachel was left alone to sift through her papers, hoping someone new would come so she could show them around.
10 minutes until she could leave.
5.
She put a note on the desk, saying that she'd be back in ten minutes and would be back soon, then left. She quickly dropped her daughter off, and returned to her place at her desk. Sighing, Rachel put away the note and watched the door waiting for someone to come.
