The General Hospital cafeteria buzzed with lunchtime chatter, the usual mix of hushed conversations and louder laughter. But today, the whispers carried a different weight. Nurse Yvonne slid into her chair beside Dr. Greyson, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Okay, spill. Is it true?"

Dr. Greyson took a sip of his coffee. "Is what true?"

"You know what," she urged. "The rumors about Dr. Zayne."

Across the table, Nurse Amy leaned in. "Wait, what rumors?"

*Nurse Yvonne lowered her voice. * "They say he's getting married."

"Who's getting married?" Nurse Liam pulled up a chair.

"Dr. Zayne."

A collective gasp rippled across the table. "What?" Liam nearly choked on his sandwich.
"Since when has Dr. Zayne been dating anyone?"

"That's the thing, nobody knows!" Yvonne whispered. "But apparently, he's been with her for years."

Dr. Greyson carefully maintained a neutral expression, but the corner of his mouth twitched. Nurse Jenna, the longest-serving staff member besides Greyson, joined the table and shook her head with a knowing smile. "Dr. Zayne has been in a relationship for almost two years now. You all were just too oblivious to notice."

Liam exclaimed incredulously. "That's impossible. Dr. Zayne never talks about his personal life. How do we know this is real?"

"Because," Jenna added, "his girlfriend has visited the hospital before. Several times."

Yvonne turned to Greyson. "You're close to Dr. Zayne, is this true?"

All eyes were on Dr. Greyson. He sighed, setting down his coffee.
"They grew up together. Since high school, as far as I know."

"Really?" The table erupted in disbelief.
"So, it's true then?" Amy asked. "Dr. Zayne is engaged?"

Greyson cleared his throat but didn't deny it. More questions followed, their curiosity growing.

Suddenly, the cafeteria door swung open. Dr. Zayne entered, his usual calm demeanor intact, his focus on the charts in his hand. The room fell silent, then erupted into murmurs as he passed. Zayne didn't react. But when his eyes flicked up and met Greyson's, there was a silent exchange that said, 'You told them, didn't you?'

Greyson shrugged innocently. The secret of Dr. Zayne and his fiancée remained safe, even though the gossip had spread throughout the hospital.
