Tate, Monica, and I decide to go to lunch at Que Pasa, the place we went before we went salsa dancing the very first time.

“So how did it go?” Tate asks us.

“Really well,” Monica says, beaming. “Our schedule was full and we even saw some extra people that walked in.”

“I’m so glad you and Simone made this happen. Safe Zone really needs it,” Tate says.

I rub Monica’s back and kiss her cheek. I’m so proud of her.

“What did you think of it, Max?” Tate asks me.

“I’m in awe of those women. Half of me wants to take down names, go find the assholes that treated them badly, and beat the shit out of them. The other half wants to stand guard at the door just in case anyone tries to hurt them again.” I flex my muscles just thinking about it; my protective side was definitely out in full force today.

“I know how you feel. There’s a big difference between knowing domestic violence exists and seeing the people it happens to,” Tate says.

I nod. “Exactly. Little Lucy got to me the most.” Just remembering her bruised face makes my heart squeeze.

“Such a sad case, but we’re helping her now. Everyone at Safe Zone has access to a therapist and legal services, so she’ll get better.”

Monica squeezes my upper leg and leans into my side. “You did a great job today, Max. Really great,” she tells me.

“I’m amazed you guys can work together so well,” Tate comments. “Logan and I might strangle each other if we worked together.”

Monica and I look at each other and smile. I think we work really well together, too, but I’m interested in hearing what she has to say about it.

“I was worried about it at first,” Monica admits, “but I really like working together. It helps that you’re so good at your job. I’d rather work with you than any of the other nurses.”

“Oh, you. You don’t have to flatter me to get in my pants,” I joke.

“And what about your co-workers? Is everyone cool with you two dating?” Of course, Tate has to bring this up. Keeping our relationship a secret at work is the thing that drives me the craziest.

Monica looks at me for help, but she made this decision all on her own. I would rather tell everyone and just get it over with. Until she stops hiding us, I’m afraid we aren’t real. I nod to her, signaling that she’s on her own to explain this one.

“Well, that’s a bit tricky,” she hedges. “When we first started seeing each other, I didn’t want to make it a thing at work, a scene for everyone to watch and gossip about.”

“That’s understandable, but what about now? Does anyone know yet?” Tate looks at me questioningly. I try to mask how much this bothers me, but she knows me too well.

“No, Max is being so patient with me.” She glances at me warily. “I’m just afraid of what management will think. Although I’m not his direct supervisor, I am the director of the department.
