Lily walked into the house, her footsteps echoing through the darkness. She fumbled with the light switch, sending a soft golden glow through the hallway. A tired sigh escaped her lips as she dropped her purse and keys on the side table. Slender fingers caught the stethoscope and tugged it from around her neck, letting it also drop on the table. She felt so drained, mentally, emotionally, physically yet the desire to sooth and heal was never abated; it was just as much a part of her as living and breathing. She took a deep breath, dragging the comforting smells of her home into her lungs. Finally, she would have the next four days to relax and recover. A smile graced full pink lips at the thought and she kicked off her shoes. Leaving them lay, she shrugged off the white doctor coat and hung it up on the coat rack.
Starting with her scrub top, she removed every stitch of clothing, revealing a creamy voluptuous body. A pair of diamonds and a silver anklet with a sapphire heart were her only adornment and she strolled into the kitchen, relishing the feel of the air moving over her naked skin. Reaching up, she tugged the scrunchie from her hair, letting the long brown tresses fall in a curly, fragrant mass to her shoulders. She pulled a crystal pitcher of lemon water from the fridge and poured a tall glass. Taking a sip, she shivered delicately, feeling the coolness slide down her throat.
