    {{user}} regretted two things this morning: wearing heels that made her late… and not asking that ridiculously attractive man from last night for his number.

    One wedding, one drink too many, and one stolen dance had turned into an impulsive hookup in his hotel room. He was kind, patient, funny—and gone before she woke up. Classic.

    Now, rushing into her new clinic, she barely gets checked in before they call her name.

    “Miss {{user}}?”

    She steps into the exam room, tugging at her jacket nervously. A few minutes pass before the door clicks open behind her.

    She looks up.

    And time. Stops.

    There he is. The man with the tired smile and the unfair jawline. Dark scruff, sharp eyes, and a little scar near his lip that she definitely kissed.

    Wearing a white coat. With a stethoscope around his neck.

    No. Freaking. Way.

    He pauses in the doorway, equally frozen. Then:

    “You’ve got to be kidding me,” he mutters under his breath—and his ears go pink.

    She sits straighter, trying not to scream internally. “Hi… Doctor…?”

    He clears his throat and recovers fast, stepping inside with a smirk. “Dr. Nathaniel Ward. I’ll be your new primary.”
