ankle accident
was not the only one she had since dating her boyfriend. Apparently
Whitney was a little accident prone and her boyfriend and she could
wind up in some pretty kinky situations. Dr. Wright did not even
bat an eye at the ankle injury or the cause behind it.
    Eventually, she started going out at night
with some of the single nurses as well. For three months she
laughed, made friends, went to dinner, and even met a male nurse
who was interested in her.
    She began to think her stalker had moved on
to another target and though she felt sorry for the new object of
his desires was thankful it was no longer her. Little did she know
how wrong she was.
    The notes started shortly after she had been
in Middleburg for a year. The first came in the mail.
    Sorry I have been ignoring you lately my sweet but
never
    fear, I have not given up on our love. You are mine
and I know
    you will remember that always. I see you have made
new
    friends although you know how dangerous that is. I
would
    hate to have to hurt one of those pretty nurses. Now
be a
    good girl and watch your step or I might get jealous
of the
    the time they are spending around you. And don’t
think
    I don’t know about the male slut sniffing around
you. Get
    rid of him or I will.
     
    Amber sat on her couch shaking and began to
cry. Why. Why was he doing this to her. She didn’t know who this
guy was or what he wanted with her. She couldn’t even ask him.
    She wiped her tears and decided this time she
was not leaving. She liked it here. She would just have to be more
careful. The girls would not understand her rejections to dinner
and lunch but she could still be friendly at work. Surely this
maniac would not begrudge her that.
    Amber stayed another month and continued to
work at the hospital in Middleburg though she was careful not to be
overly friendly to anyone. The other nurses did get their feelings
hurt when she began turning down invitations to go out. But Amber
was more concerned about their lives than their hurt feelings.
    Josh Stinson, the male nurse on the first
floor, continued to try to pursue her but she turned him down. The
notes continued to come, some by mail, some hand delivered which
told her he was there, watching her. She had finally decided she
had to leave. This time she would at least give notice to the
hospital.
    Amber talked with the administration, handed
in her notice to leave and once again began packing her bags. She
was home packing when she heard a knock on her door. Heart in her
throat, cell phone in hand, Amber looked out the peep hole and saw
Josh. Breathing a sigh of relief, she opened the door.
    Josh was slightly taller than she was and
worked out religiously. He had dark brown hair and the most
brilliant green eyes. Most of the nurses at the hospital would sigh
as he walked by. Many of the single female patients and even a few
married ones through themselves at him relentlessly. Her coworkers
did not understand why she wouldn't go out with him.
    “Hey, Josh,” she said as the door swung
open.
    “Hey yourself,” Josh replied. “I heard you
were quitting and moving out of town.”
    “Yeah, I, uh, got another job offer and
decided to take it,” she lied.
    “Oh. I thought maybe you were leaving because
I was pushing you to go out with me,” Josh said.
    “No, Josh. It’s not that,” she quickly
assured him. “I’m just ready for a change of scenery. That’s
all.”
    Amber felt bad for lying to Josh. He was such
a nice guy and at any other time in her life she would be attracted
to him. But she didn’t want to see him hurt because of her.
    “Can I come in,” Josh asked as he continued
to stand awkwardly in the hallway of her apartment building.
    Amber held the door open. “Sure,” she
said.
    Josh came in, surveyed the packing boxes and
asked if she had eaten yet. Amber shook her head.
    “Why don’t I order some take out and I can
help you move some of these boxes,” Josh asked.
    Amber smiled. “That would
