looks at Rita with admiration "How did you come up with this?"
smiles confidently "My years as a nurse have taught me a thing or two about improvising under pressure. And when I saw how determined June was to save those children, I knew we had to think outside the box."
OrchidMelancholy
grins "You're one hell of a woman, Rita."
nods appreciatively "Thank you, OrchidMelancholy. I try to do whatever it takes to help those in need. It's what drove me to save that child from drowning back in my hometown."
