I DON’T EXACTLY know when it happened, but lately I’ve noticed a difference in Roman’s demeanor toward me. He’s calm and not as loud or as cold as he used to be. There seems to be something warm and humble about him now. I can’t exactly pinpoint it, but I have definitely seen a change in him.

As I sit at the nurses station, Dr. Ferguson calls me over to assist him with Roman’s daily exams. I follow him into the room and give Roman a soft smile as I enter. Dr. Ferguson directs me to hold his head steady as he twists his body from left to right. He then assesses his burns and asks Roman his threshold of pain; thankfully, it’s down to a three. In the past week, his pain has dropped each day, and we are confident that he should be fully healed in about two more weeks.

Within a few minutes, the exam is finished and we exit the room. I update Roman’s chart on the computer just as Amanda walks by.

“So, what’s going on with you and Roman?”

Confused, I ask, “What do you mean?”

She hisses, “Don’t act dumb. You know exactly what I mean.”

I shake my head and turn back to the computer screen. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Don’t think that I didn’t see you sneaking into his room on Thanksgiving. What were you guys doing?”

“Nothing, we were just talking.”

She is clearly suspicious and trying to get me to say more. “You sure?”

I insist, “Yes, we talked and I left. I was only there for a short while.”

Her eyes check me up and down, scanning for some indication that I might be lying. “Hmm. I’ll leave this alone for now, but don’t think I’m not watching you two.”

I call out to her as she stalks off, “There’s nothing to watch because there’s nothing going on!”

The cab pulls up to the curb and parks as I pay the driver his fee. I step out and into the apartment building. After climbing three flights of stairs I come upon apartment 3B and knock, waiting for its resident to let me in.

The door swings open and Gia greets me with a smile. “Wassup girl! Come in.”

I hug her as I step inside and look around her new place. “Wow, this place is huge! How the hell did you find this place?”

She locks the door behind me and offers to take my coat. “Brad knows a guy and he hooked me up.”

Spinning around to face her my jaw drops. “Wait, you guys didn’t move in together did you?”

“Hell no! You know I ain’t ready for that.”

I let out a sigh of relief. “Oh thank god. I was about to say…”

“Please. I’m not that stupid. We just started dating a month ago. Come on, let me give you the tour.”

She shows off her two-bedroom apartment and I’m jealous. The apartment is located in the heart of the East Village in a cute little brownstone. It’s an older building, but that gives it its character.
