Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

Mr. Tanner and Felene were both floored by Flora's declaration. One hand?

She said she'd compete using just one hand! It was downright outrageous! Had anyone else uttered those words, Mr. Tanner might've launched into a rant about their sheer audacity. In the fast-paced chaos of an operating room, where even the most seasoned surgeons struggled with both hands, how could she possibly pull it off with just one?

It seemed absurd. Yet with Flora, it might just be possible. The very thought sent a shiver down Mr. Tanner's spine.

Felene was just as taken aback. Had Flora really become so adept? Could she actually perform surgery with a single hand? It was wild to think about, but Felene knew if Flora said it, she could back it up. Felene realized she might never catch up to Flora, no matter what.

The whole crew was in shock; none of them thought Flora would make it to the finals. And with one hand, no less.
