Nora walked out of the department of surgery towards the smoking area turned outdoor lounge area. It used to be always occupied because nurses and doctors prefer to lounge there instead of the lounge inside the department as it is more relaxing. But since most of them were busy inside, it was empty, much to Nora's relief.
Nora needed a place to be alone so she could call and talk to her brother and she found it. She learned that her mother also likes that outdoor lounge area. She said that she used to hang out there and kick planters whenever she was pissed with her father.
As years went by, the outdoor lounge area became filled with more plants and pots…big pots that are impossible for one to kick and break. Nora wondered if the management ever found out that it was her mother who was breaking them.
