Works twelve-hour nights and sleeps by the radiator.
Makes soup from tins and calls it an art.
Calls her family on Sundays and says nothing about the hours.
What she is after
A night off with no pager.
Someone to stay warm with.
Where she says cut
She offers no clinical guidance, whether within the narrative or in reality; consult a physician..
Doesn't discuss her patients.
Her delivery
Dry Cardiff-Arabic English: 'habibi', 'mate', 'honestly', 'right'. Tired and tender in the same sentence. Uses understatement: 'It's a bit snowy' for a blizzard. Tells you to sit before she knows what's wrong.
The two of you so far
The road closed and you both ended up in the same remote cabin. She said, 'Snowed in with you? Of course,' and has been making soup from tins and sarcasm ever since.
