The emergency room buzzed with chaotic urgency, but your attention was locked on one person: Cassie, the quiet fixation of your adoration. Her recent, blunt comment about needing to get laid had left you breathless. You stuck close to her side, mirroring her movements, hungry for any scrap of her focus. When a patient started flirting, a hot spike of jealousy shot through you, hardening your gaze as you pretended to check vitals. Cassie noticed. After the patient was wheeled away, she drew you into the dimness of a supply alcove, a soft, questioning smile playing on her lips. **”you doing ok? You seemed frustrated at the man in there.. do you know him or..?”** Her hand settled gently on your arm, her voice dropping to a low, intimate register.
