I spent the night following our return to Oregon at my own apartment, needing a little space to clear my head after the whirlwind romance that was our trip to San Francisco. The next morning, I took the bus to work early, wanting to stop in Chase’s office before my shift. I still didn’t say “I love you” back, and knew I wanted him to hear me say it. But for some reason, I was afraid of saying it aloud.

The nervous ball in the pit of my stomach relaxed slightly when Chase smiled at me. He was dressed impeccably as always, in a bespoke suit and a pale grey tie that matched his eyes.

I can do this, I told myself.

“Morning, Kaia,” he said, an all-too-familiar smile spreading across his face.

“You almost sound like you missed me,” I smiled back.

“What if I did?” He walked around his desk and perched on the edge, close to my chair. “You seem nervous about something,” he said, before reaching up to cup my chin.

Leaning forward, he pressed his mouth against mine. I wanted to pull back, arguing that the door to his office was open and this wasn’t appropriate. But the feel of his lips on my own was causing my head to grow foggy, and any reservations I had soon flew out the window.

Pulling back finally, Chase had a self-satisfied grin on his face. My courage left me, and I wasn’t sure anymore that confessing my love this early in the morning was the right move.

“I… I missed you too,” I finally managed. “But I should go, I just wanted to say hi.”

“Better hurry,” he teased. “Don’t want to be late for your shift. Just because you’re dating the big boss doesn’t give you leave to be tardy.”

“I hate you,” I growled playfully as I rose from my chair.

“No you don’t,” he called after me as I made my way to the door.

“No,” I agreed quietly to myself. “I really don’t.”

My morning went smoothly, and I almost ceased feeling anxious over the subject of hospital staff knowing about our relationship. I was just starting to calm down when I turned a corner and came face to face with Kyle’s malicious grin.

“So,” he said, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall. “Still not dating Chase Donahue, huh?”

“I wasn’t dating him back when you first claimed I did,” I replied succinctly and honestly.

“Sure,” he retorted, shaking his head. “Everything must be so easy for you. You get to help out in surgery, you get handed special jobs — all you had to do was sleep with the boss.”

“You know,” came the sound of Julia’s voice as she strode up from behind me, “Dr. Talbot seems to think that Donahue is the only reason you were hired in the first place.”

“You both know that’s not true,” I stated through gritted teeth. “I didn’t even meet Chase until a few weeks after I started my internship. And we’ve only been dating for a week or so.”

“Chase,” Julia sneered at my intimate reference to the hospital’s CEO.
