“Inspiration,” Nikita said resting her back on the couch after adjusting her position on the pillow.
Michael could hear the rain pounding on the window of the suite and stood looking at the marvelous display of dangerous weather outside, thinking to himself that the weather was worsening, and then continued, “Inspiration?”
She stopped eating and looked at him pensively and answered, “My legal guardians where both doctors.”
“Legal guardians? What happened to your parents?” Michael asked moving towards the fireplace.
“I ran away from home when I was young.” She said hugging her arms around her suddenly chilled body.
Michael stoked the embers in the fireplace while she stood picking up the plates. He asked, “Why run away?”
Michael couldn’t understand anyone leaving home, he had always longed for a family to come home to, so he paid close attention to the blonde beauty’s explanation, “Because my drunken mother’s new boyfriend wanted to strip me of…”
Michael interrupted and asked about her father, “And your father?” He was confused as to why a family wouldn’t search for their lost daughter.
“My father was never in the picture, my birth certificate identifies him as ‘Mr. Jones’ and my mother would never tell me a thing about him, not even his full name.”
He understood the memories were painful and realized she would share further only if the need arose, so he changed the conversation to more mundane questions. “What made you decide on Hematology?”
“My legal guardians were Geneticists and although they were no Ozzie and Harriet* they exposed me to their science and I found it fascinating, so I thought I would give it a try.”
She swallowed and went on, “While on the streets I had a terrible accident that brought me to the public hospital in Sydney and because of my injuries they imported specialists who eventually became my legal guardians.”

Ozzie and Harriet is a television show (probably from the late 50s or early 60s), the perfect parents... of so they thought...
