Don't Get Sentimental

It's Sarah's last night shift as a nurse on the maternity ward. Remedios pretends not to care, and has brought a cake, for the ward, she says, with Sarah's name on it. At three in the morning, she asks Sarah how she calms a frightened mother, and at the eight o'clock handover, the supervisor catches her out. Refuse to be sentimental - don't get sentimental, you're only going to another floor, it's for the ward, not for you - ask how someone does it - how do you get them to calm down, it's not for me - calm a frightened mother, in plain words - I sit down beside her and look her in the eye, I explain what's happening, and we breathe together, slowly - and say goodbye with a straight face - you'll be missed, well, a little bit, me? it must be lack of sleep.

A HISTÓRIA

It's the night of Wednesday, May 22nd, 2030, three in the morning, on the maternity ward. It's Sarah's last night shift as a nurse. On Monday, she starts as a midwife, on the delivery ward of the same hospital. She has just come out of room nine, where a first-time mother was crying, frightened, with her baby in her arms. At the nurses' station, Remedios, twenty years on the ward and not one to show her feelings, has a box from a cake shop beside her. At eight o'clock, at the handover, the supervisor sees what's inside. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
