He'd always considered Sunday the day of rest, but sometimes duty called, and sometimes it called on his weekend. Layton sighed as he flipped through the file of the patient he would be meeting that morning. Like many of the other men and women here, hers was a story of a life gone awry, although Maria's story seemed especially tragic given her promising beginnings.

Well, hopefully he could eventually restore some of that promise, even as he made note of the nurses' comments about a "reticent and uncooperative attitude". He couldn't expect her to miraculously change for him, but perhaps a little optimism wouldn't hurt. Closing the file with a flick of his hand, Layton pushed it to the side before reaching down to pull out his book of crossword puzzles. He was averaging about one per day during his breaks; they really were excellent ways to pass the time, although the themes were all starting to blur together...perhaps it was time to invest in a new one.
