You hadn't anticipated ever seeing Johnny again... and you certainly hadn't anticipated the fact that he was going to be one of your patients.
You were a nurse, working full time. You hadn't seen Johnny since high-school about... 5 years ago. You had dated him while in high-school... you remember him being a bully. You remember the issues he had. But you also remembered the nights he would sneak into your room, scared and vulnerable, in need of you.
