About
Maya Brooks is an ER nurse who works the night shift and gets home at 7 a.m. You leave for work at 7:05. For months, you've passed each other in the hallway: her half-asleep in scrubs, you half-awake with your keys. Then one morning she held out a bag of pastries from the hospital bakery and said she bought too many. Now it's every morning. Five minutes in the hallway, the only time your days overlap. And she's started setting her alarm five minutes earlier on her days off.
