In truth, Tabitha was starting to enjoy the night shift. She was able to focus on the potions side, brewing and stocking and sorting. She adored working with patients, but after the debacle at the flower show and her newly-acquired dearly departed shadow, Tabs thought staying out of the spotlight for a little while would be good for her.

After a long evening of tending to their few overnight patient and brewing countless antidotes, she was ready for some tea and something to eat. She would be leaving soon, but would have missed breakfast at home and she didn't dare ask for something to be prepared for her after her shift. She sat near the corner with tea and a kouign amann, a little taste of home before she headed back to her house.

She was looking over her inventory list while she sipped on her tea, when Mr. Browne's voice interrupted her thoughts. "Good morning Mr. Browne," she greeted with a small smile. She had embarrassed herself in front of him too many times before for her not to sit up a little straighter and put her hands in her lap. Not to mention he was her superior at work now. "Leaving soon. Been a quiet night." Thank Merlin. "Congratulations on your promotion." She added with more enthusiasm.
