Chapter 11 - Kate

It’s been 24 hours, and I’m sitting at my kitchen table, staring blankly at the wall, hands wrapped around a mug of cooling coffee. Frustration pricks at my skin like invisible needles.

It's been a full day since I last saw Liam, since I felt his hands on my body, heard his soft voice whispering against my ear, and I can't get him out of my head.

Damn it, he was good. Better than good. He was perfect. The way he moved, the way he touched me...it's enough to make me salivate just thinking about it. I should be happy and giddy with the memory of that night, but there's a heaviness in my heart.

He hasn't called. Not even a text. I know, logically, that he must have returned home, fallen asleep, and then gone to work at the hospital. But my emotions don't run on logic.

Was it just a one-night stand for him? Was I just another conquest? The thought stings, yet the fear of it being true is what really gnaws at me. Doubts, like insidious little demons, creep into the recesses of my mind. I can't stand the waiting, the wondering, the constant expectation of a call that never comes.

Finally, I snap. I can't take it anymore. I need to see him, to talk to him. I need to know if he felt the same connection, if it wasn't all in my head. Luckily, I have an excuse to see him. His lost and forgotten shirt that I found when I arrived home.

I glance at the clock. 1 am. Usually, I'd be at work, slaving away under the watchful eye of Ivy. But today, after I called her and vaguely mentioned needing to rest, she insisted I stay home.

She saw the pain in my eyes last night, and I guess my voice must've betrayed more fatigue than I intended.

I don't mind, though. The night is mine, and right now, all I can think about is Liam. Sleep can wait. Rest can wait. I can't.

With newfound determination, I rush out of my house and into my car. I've spent too long waiting. I made myself a promise of two years without men, a promise that shattered the moment I met Liam.

His image fills my mind as I drive towards the hospital, the darkness of the night outside enveloping my car. It's darker than last night, but that doesn't bother me. I know where I'm going, and I know who I'm going to see. My heart throbs with anticipation, matching the rhythm of the tires against the road.

Liam. My light in the darkest tunnel. I might not believe in love, but for the first time in a long time, I'm willing to believe in the possibility of it. And that's a start, isn't it?

The drive is a blur of quiet streets and the soft hum of the radio playing in the background. It's just enough to fill the silence, a gentle distraction from the storm of thoughts swirling in my head.
