This place is swanky. It’s easy to see why this place used to be so popular, but I can’t imagine why they shut it down. I guess it works to our advantage though.

I carry my bag into the room that will be mine for the foreseeable future. Having packed so quickly, I don’t have much to unpack. Thankfully the bathrooms are stocked with products, I realized too late that I forgot to grab toiletries in my haste to escape my parent’s house. Luckily, Lukas always has extra essentials, so I was able to brush my teeth and shower at his house. He even had my favorite body wash under the sink, probably left from when I used to stay there so often.

Once I’m all settled in with my meager belongings, I head out of the room to get my patient settled. Dr. Franks gave me bottles of medications for her to take in place of the IV meds, and it's nearly time for her first doses.

Opening the door, I smack right into Lukas, who steadies me with his hands on my shoulders. He’s removed his sweater vest, his light blue button-down shirt rolled up to the elbows. There’s a bag over his shoulder.

He’s nearly half a foot taller than my 6-foot self, so I have to look up at him when he’s standing close like this. One side of his mouth quirks into a grin as he pushes me back through the door.

“I know you’ve got to run off and play doctor,” he says winking, “but I have some things for you first.”

I’m glad to see him more relaxed about the situation. After I helped him finish packing, we talked well into the early morning hours. There was some kissing and light touching, but all above the belt. It was healing, and I feel like we’re in a good place right now.

“First, and most importantly.” Pressing my back against the wall, he kisses me so thoroughly that I feel it in my toes. I’m not quite ready when he pulls back and walks over to my little table, placing his bag on top.

“Secondly, I remembered that I still had a stack of your clothes that you left behind. I figured you probably packed in a hurry, so you might be able to use a few extra things.”

“That’s super thoughtful. Thank you.” He has always known exactly what I need. I think it’s because he’s incredibly observant, but also, he actively seeks out ways to show people that he cares for them.

My smile is grateful, not only for the extra clothes, but also to have him back in my life.

“Third, I brought some tea. Do you think she might like tea?”

The fact that he not only thought about me, but also went out of his way to try and do something nice for her, hits me right in the feels. He opened up last night about his feelings, and this is clear proof that he is trying. I’m just… proud? Appreciative?

Fuck, I love him so much.
