Wrong person? Wrong marriage?Zoe's question knocked the wind out of Nora too.She turned, needing confirmation. "...Your mom said Dr. Sterling didn't show?"Zoe looked like she was about to cry. She nodded."Yeah! My mom said Dr. Sterling got pulled into an emergency surgery yesterday afternoon. Aortic dissection. Ten hours. Didn't finish until midnight. He sent my mom this long apology over text this morning."Zoe's mother had opened a matchmaking agency after retirement. Nora, with urgent reasons of her own to get married fast, had gone to her first.Old friends for years — the moment Mrs. Harper heard Nora was looking, she'd thumped her chest and promised to find the best match possible.She'd asked Nora what she wanted.Nora didn't have many requirements. Good character, understanding of her demanding schedule, willing to marry quickly. That was it.Female doctors weren't exactly hot commodities on the marriage market. Nora wanted the license fast, so she'd trimmed her expectatio

The palm-sized red booklet lay in Adrian's hand.The red was blinding. Vivian was too stunned to speak. She stared for a solid half-minute before her brain rebooted. She snatched the certificate and flipped it open."Don't you dare try to fool me!"In the two-inch photo, the girl beside her son wore a neat ponytail. No makeup. Her features were clean and luminous — like something between an ink-wash painting and a girl's fresh-faced spirit."Nora Ward?"Vivian read the name on the certificate and looked at Adrian."That's right," Adrian confirmed.She'd never heard the name before. Vivian was even less convinced."No, no. Not one of the girls I introduced. You're not pulling a fake certificate on me."She held it up to the light, checking for the embossed seal."I'm not lying."Adrian's eyes lowered. "Met her yesterday during onboarding. She happened to be in a hurry to get married too. I thought it was a good fit, so we went ahead."Vivian erupted. "A good fit?! What's good about it?

Cardiothoracic Surgery was on the fourth floor.The hospital elevator was always packed. Zoe couldn't be bothered to wait, so she pulled Nora toward the stairwell.Still wound up from what Summer had told them, Zoe wouldn't shut up the entire way up."A trust-fund kid. Walked straight into a deputy chair. What was Dr. Zhao thinking?"Dr. Zhao ran Cardiothoracic. Six months from retirement.The message was obvious. This new deputy chair was being groomed to take over."Relax." Nora tried to calm her down. "He's not in our department.""We're in the same hospital."In a cardiac center, cardiology and surgery were two halves of the same coin. Surgery was the safety net — anything interventional cardiology couldn't handle went under the knife. Consultations like today's happened dozens of times a week.Zoe herself was fine. She was just a junior attending, not responsible for consultations.The hard part fell on Nora. As chief resident, consult coordination was part of her job."You've st

It wasn't until the car left the parking lot that Nora fully registered Adrian saying "we're married."Flash marriage had been her idea, yes.But saying those two words out loud, that casually — Nora knew she couldn't do it.She turned to the window.In the blur of passing light and shadow, Adrian's profile was sharp with concentration.Nora found herself curious about his upbringing.From offering to drive her home on their wedding day to casually saying "we're married" — these small gestures suggested he'd grown up in a loving household.But if his background was that good, why was he out on blind dates like her?Sunlight hit her eyes. She flinched.Adrian glanced over. "It's a long drive. You can sleep if you want. I'll wake you when we're close.""I'm fine." Nora shook her head. "Light night in the ER. Got decent sleep."A mall appeared up ahead. Nora pointed. "Can we stop there? I need to pick up some things."She couldn't show up empty-handed."Don't bother." Adrian drove past t

The door banged shut.Phoebe wanted to run after Wendy. She stopped at the threshold.She turned back to Nora, apologetic. "Your sister didn't have work today. I thought it would be nice for you two to catch up."Nora gave a non-committal "Mm."The on-call room was thin-walled. A colleague could walk in any minute. Nora didn't have time for small talk."Mom. Did you need something?""What would I need." Phoebe's expression softened. "I haven't seen you in a month. I missed you.""Come home for dinner next weekend. Uncle Wen and Warren were asking about you this morning."At the name "Warren," Nora's fingers tightened reflexively. The plastic bag rustled in her grip.She took a breath. "Mom. I told you before. After my chief residency ends, I'm not living at home anymore."Phoebe frowned. "Don't say that. You've been working for a year. When else would you rest if not at home? Where else would you go?"Nora curled her fingers into her palm. Said nothing.Phoebe sighed. "Are you still a
