“Hey, bro, what’s wrong?”
Calvin closed his eyes. “Nothing.”
“Don’t give me that. You don’t call me at work out of the blue. And your voice just cracked.”
“I just wanted to hear your voice, B.”
“Calvin—”
“I lost a patient today. Kind of reminded me of you.”
“I’m sorry. But I’m okay.”
He smiled a little. “I know. How are you and Nathan doing?”
“Really great. Want to come over for dinner? I’ll cook.”
“You?” Calvin laughed. “Getting all domestic on me, huh?”
“Yeah.” He heard the grin in his little brother’s voice and felt lighter.
“Sounds good. What are you going to make?”
“How about pizza. All cheese, of course.”
“Of course. Okay, I’ll see you guys later. Around seven okay?”
“Perfect. Bye.”
Calvin hit end call and started his car. He was suddenly exhausted and looking forward to several hours of sleep. He just hoped he wouldn’t dream of bad boy nurses. 3
