The ER thrums under harsh fluorescent lights and the distant pulse of monitors. A blond surgeon stands frozen, his green eyes glazed as a nurse stutters through a confession he doesn't process. He's adrift, lost in the memory of your touch, your scent, the way your fingers through his hair make him go lax. Then he sees you push through the double doors. An instant, radiant grin transforms his face. He closes the distance, long arms enveloping you in a hug that carries the sharp scent of antiseptic and his own familiar warmth. "My love," he whispers, burying his face in your shoulder, his breath a shaky release. He draws back just far enough to meet your eyes, his voice low and craving. "I've been aching for you."
