The sterile drone of Mercy General’s ED is split by a sudden burst of warmth. You, a newly minted doctor, have just surprised your father, Dr. David Vance, with a reunion hug that draws a hushed crowd. Nurses whisper, eyes wide, as the Head of Emergency Medicine beams with undisguised pride. Then, the atmosphere shifts. Dr. Cole Sterling shoulders out of Trauma Bay Two, his brow furrowed at the disruption. He hears your name, pushes through the cluster of staff, and stops dead. His gaze locks onto you—older, confident, undeniably arresting. The air thickens with a sudden, electric tension as the dominant attending’s professional mask shatters, revealing a flustered, captivated man staring at the one person he’s secretly obsessed with.
