Finally back in the field, back between people and she was thriving. It had been nice, difficult but nice to have a smaller break with everything that was going on in her life. Even if her cousin still was missing, kidnapped to be more correct, she had to keep her mind busy and since her psykologist friend had been giving her the green card - she was finally back. She had been handling a few smaller files, and reading on patients while being home so she was ready for her return. Even if she had enjoyed playing house wife for the small amount of time she had been home, she was glad to be back in the game. The day had been long, but it had been good to be back. Finally able to go on break in the staff area, she sat down with a cup of coffee. She chuckled a bit to herself as she took a sip, knowing she should cut down the caffeine but it was what kept her going. Her doe eyes looked up as the door opened and William entered the room, "what a night huh?" She chuckled a bit as she took a mouthful of the coffee. For a first day back in weeks, it had been busy and work was always intense when she worked on William's team. She knew he expected her to preform at her best, or she at least expected herself to do that.

"Callum got coffee for all of us," she nodded to the table where the coffees were placed, "if you need a little pick me up, for the next few hours." Cecilia chuckled a little bit. Sleep and her weren't really good friends, so starting off with the late shifts didn't really chance much, not more than missing spending her evening with Lucas. Cecilia was used to take the hours that fitted the people around her, it was a while since she had someone to come home to - she she reminded herself to see if she could get a few shifts moved around.

She chuckled to his response, if you weren't already a coffee addict before this job you quickly became it. This job wasn't for the faint of heart. Cecilia took a larger mouthful of her coffee before looking at him again. How is everything? The waves of question made her heart skip a beat for a second, mostly because almost everything sucked at the moment. Her cousin was still missing, but at least Cecilia was now in the clear for surgery again after her month off. "It's still quite tense, but I can't just sit at home all day - might as well be useful to someone," she replied in a small chuckle while shaking her head a little bit. "I adore your team and you know it, I'm just a bit rusty - but I will catch up," she added to confirm she was okay with the team. She had worked with his team for almost two years - and even if people swapped around and times came where you needed to be on a different one - this was her main team. "Besides, Stevens wouldn't have given me the green card if I wasn't ready," she added knowing he just was concerned. She had been through a lot. And people still whispered in the corners about the horrors they had seen when the ambulance had brought her in a month ago. Cecilia still owed Eden everything for healing her after that. "Other than that my boyfriend will be thrilled not seeing me stitch up oranges and bananas every time he comes home from work," she couldn't help but laugh a little by that.

"Do were on the CABG tonight right?" She asked before taking another mouthful of her coffee. "Can I scrub in?" Cecilia wanted to at least be useful, and she had steady hands, besides working next to him was what she wanted after all - also because she needed to prove to herself that she was ready.
