Thursday arrived with a kind of quiet disbelief attached to it, the way any promised thing does after a month of nothing going according to plan.

Ethan checked his phone four times before his shift ended, half expecting the guy to pull him into an emergency consult, half expecting Jessy to message that a delivery had gone sideways and dinner would have to wait. Neither happened. He walked out at six fifteen in his own clothes, not scrubs, feeling strangely exposed without the badge and stethos

  • Daddy's secret Obsession   Epilogue

    Three years later, Ethan found himself in the same on-call room where all of it had started, except this time he was there for the wrong reasons entirely, waiting nervously outside while Jessy delivered someone else's baby down the hall.He hadn't planned it this way. He'd meant to wait for her at home, ring already tucked into his coat pocket for the third night running, working up the nerve to ask a question he'd been circling for months. But her shift had run long, an unexpected complication with a delivery, and he'd found himself walking the same hallway he used to walk a lifetime ago, drawn back to the on-call room out of some sentimental instinct he hadn't fully examined until he was already standing in the doorway.The room looked exactly the same. Same narrow bed, same thin blanket, same faint smell of antiseptic that had somehow, over the years, become one of his favorite smells in the world simply because of what it had come to represent.Jessy found him there a little past

    The apartment they finally chose sat on the fourth floor of a building three blocks from the hospital, close enough that Ethan could walk to a shift in under ten minutes, far enough that the place still felt like its own separate world once the door closed behind them.Move-in day arrived in late August, hot and humid in the particular way the city got before the first real cold front broke it, and by early afternoon they'd given up on any organized system, boxes stacked haphazardly in every room while Jessy stood in the middle of the living room trying to decide, with an intensity that seemed disproportionate to the actual decision, where the couch should go."Left wall," Ethan said, setting down a box marked kitchen, some of us actually cook. "You've been staring at it for ten minutes.""I'm being thoughtful. This is the first real decision we're making together in this apartment. I want to get it right.""It's a couch, Jessy.""It's symbolic." She said it with a straight face that

    The apartment hunting started, as most practical decisions between them seemed to, in the middle of an entirely unrelated conversation.They were eating takeout on Ethan's couch, three weeks into the new cardiology rotation, when Jessy mentioned offhand that her lease was up at the end of the summer, and something about the casual way she said it made Ethan set down his chopsticks and look at her more directly than the comment strictly required."When at the end of the summer.""August. Why?" She caught his expression and paused, a slow understanding dawning. "Ethan.""I'm just asking a logistical question.""You have a very specific face for logistical questions." She set her own food down, angling toward him on the couch, something warm and cautious moving behind her eyes. "Are you asking what I think you're asking?""I don't know. What do you think I'm asking?""Don't do that. Don't make me say it first and then decide whether to commit to it based on my reaction." She said it ligh

    The residency coordinator's office smelled like burnt coffee and printer toner, and Ethan had rehearsed his opening line four separate times on the walk over, none of which survived the moment Dana looked up from her monitor and said, before he'd even sat down, "Let me guess. The pairing memo.""You've had this conversation before.""Twice this year already, for entirely unrelated reasons." She gestured him into the chair across from her desk, unbothered in a way that immediately loosened something in his chest. "People request transfers for a hundred reasons that have nothing to do with each other. I don't need the reason, Ethan, I just need to know what you're asking for."He hadn't expected it to be that easy, had braced for a conversation that required him to either lie outright or dance carefully around a truth he wasn't ready to hand over to hospital administration, and the plainness of her question threw him slightly off balance."I'd like to cross-train," he said, settling on

    Thursday arrived with a kind of quiet disbelief attached to it, the way any promised thing does after a month of nothing going according to plan. Ethan checked his phone four times before his shift ended, half expecting the guy to pull him into an emergency consult, half expecting Jessy to message that a delivery had gone sideways and dinner would have to wait. Neither happened. He walked out at six fifteen in his own clothes, not scrubs, feeling strangely exposed without the badge and stethoscope, like he'd forgotten how to be a person who did things other than triage. She was already at the restaurant, a small Italian place two blocks from the hospital neither of them had ever had the time to try, tucked into a corner booth with her coat still on and a nervous energy he wasn't used to seeing outside a delivery room. "You look like you're not sure this is real," he said, sliding in across from her. "I keep waiting for my pager to go off." She laughed, short and disbelieving. "

  • Daddy's secret Obsession   Chapter 116

    A month into the emergency call rotation, Ethan had learned three things with absolute certainty: rainy season made every ambulance run twice as tense, Dr. Arnold8's approval was rationed out like a precious resource, and stolen hours with Jessy had become the only thing keeping him upright through the exhaustion. Tonight, though, exhaustion had won the argument for both of them. He found her in the on-call room a little after midnight, still in scrubs, sprawled across the narrow bed with one arm flung over her eyes. She didn't stir when he came in, and for a moment he just stood in the doorway, watching the rise and fall of her chest, cataloguing the small furrow between her brows that never quite disappeared even in sleep. "You're staring again," she mumbled, without opening her eyes. "You're always doing something worth staring at." "Flattery," she said, "will get you a spot on this mattress if you hurry up and stop hovering." He toed off his shoes and lay down beside her, th

    I walked back up the stairs, the lie trailing behind me like the expensive perfume I didn't wear. Mrs. Henderson was now attacking the carpet in the master suite with a handheld steamer. She gave me a polite, distracted smile as I passed."Have a lovely day at your tutoring, Jessalyn," she said, he

    JessyJeffrey, who hadn't moved or spoken, finally detached himself from the wall. He walked past Mark without looking at him, his entire body radiating dark hostility. He was furious, not just at Ben, but at me for forcing the issue. The university quad was a riot of green grass, bright sun, a
