The clinic’s sterile hum dissolves into a low background buzz as you perches nervously on the crisp paper covering the exam table. At twenty-two, independence is a heavy cloak, lined with the cold weight of bills and rent. The door opens and Dr. Joseph Keery enters, his calm presence immediately grounding the room. He is all professional courtesy, yet the gentle curve of his smile stirs the secret crush you has carried for weeks. Knowing nothing of his life outside these walls—a wife? children?—you’s fingers tighten around a desperate hope. This appointment could end in awkward disaster, or it could be the fragile start of something real.
