We walk around the city eating ice creams and then walk through the park, hand in hand, just enjoying each other’s company. We even feed a little family of ducks down by the lake, which is kind of cute. Getting to know one another in such a casual, laid-back environment feels great. I love seeing her so open and happy like this, without the stress of work or trying to impress each other.

We sit down on a seat in the middle of the park, opposite her apartment. I watch as she twists her coffee cup in her hands and stares off into the distance. It’s the first time all day where I’ve caught her lost in thought.

“What are you thinking about?” I ask her.

She looks up as if surprised that I noticed her tuning out. She shrugs.

“Just how a month ago I had no idea that you existed.” She looks down at her cup. “I just find that freaky, considering how much I…”

“How much you what?” I smile because I’m pretty sure she was about to admit she likes me.

“How much I like you.”

“I like you too.” I reach for her hand and sit back, a thought hitting me.

“Ever think about the number of times we could’ve almost crossed path before now?” I smile. “I was at his graduation, you know. I’m pretty sure I saw you there.”

“You were?” she says, surprised. “Huh. I guess it’s not surprising that I wouldn’t remember you. I thought you were overseas?”

“I was, but I had just gotten back. I’m not really that memorable,” I tease.

“No, that’s not what I meant…” She narrows her eyes when she realizes I’m baiting her and shakes her head. “I wonder how many other times there were where we could’ve met.”

“It’s like fate wanted us together,” I say. “Even if you didn’t come into my ER, we would have met through Matt. Dinner party or not, I’m sure this would’ve happened eventually.”

She smiles, like my words comfort her, then rests her head on my shoulder.

“Do you really believe in fate?” she asks.

I glance at her. “I guess I don’t really? I’m a doctor. Doesn’t medicine kind of go against the idea that whatever’s going to happen will happen?”

“I guess,” she says. “Or maybe you’re not really changing anything at all. You just think you are.”

“So, our jobs are pointless?” I smirk at her, knowing I’m winding her up.

“No. I just mean… things like your dad dying and my dad… do you think things like that happen for a reason?” I glance at her and shrug, because I don’t know. “Why do bad things happen to good people?” she asks, frowning.

“Does it matter?” I ask gently. “All those things, good and bad, just shape who you are as a person. You wouldn’t be the same without that balance.”

“I guess,” she murmurs.

“Shall we go home?” I suggest.

She nods, and I take her hand in mine as we walk through the park toward her apartment.

While she has a shower, I order some Chinese food.
