Ride of The ValkyriesOne Direction Queen’s ‘Somebody to Love’I waited for a moment until Natalia, the Polish nurse came out of the bathroom, smelling of strong perfume.

‘Yes, it is the six until four shift today,’ she said, shrugging and smiling.
I nodded and grunted.
‘That which does not destroy us makes us stronger, and all that,’ I said.
Natalia laughed.
‘In Poland we say that life is brutal and full of ambushes,’ she said.
