She prepared herself as she approached the door to the subject's room, sealing off any well of compassion that might save the nurse's job. [Cold-blooded bitch, wasn't she?-AW] Vivienne opened the door and had shouted "Nurse!" even before she realized that the room was full of smoke. She coughed at the door, then stomped toward Nurse Weber with an evil, angry expression on her face, having temporarily forgotten about the subject. By the time she got to Joanne, who was still watching herself in smoke front of the mirror, Dr. Moriat's steps had slowed, and her facial expression had changed. [As well as had her entire demeanor; it's quite evident, even on the security video.-AW] "Oh! I don't have any cigarettes with me," Dr. Vivienne Moriat cooed, batting her eyelashes at Joanne. The night nurse offered her one. She accepted it, daring her to comment with her eyes. Joanne said nothing, and lit it for the doctor. Vivienne exhaled quickly, surprised by the strength of the smoke. She cast defiant glances at Joanne while she smoked. Joanne's face remained carefully neutral. |
