Lena wasn't kidding, and no, the surgery wasn't slexcuse to dodge Nate-it was real.
Sure, she could've handed it off to another doctor, but nope.
This was her subtle way of saying, 'Guess what, Nate? The universe doesn't orbit around you."
Why should she rearrange her whole life just because he finally decided to pop back in after ghosting her for
months in favor of work?
By the tshe wrapped up, it was already pushing 11 p.m.
Her first move? Check her phone. Maybe Nate had sent a text-or even a string of desperate ones.

When she looked up, he was already moving toward her, closing the gap between them. His gaze locked onto
hers. "We're together, Lena. That means we don't hold back-not with emotions, not with... physical ones too."
Lena, who'd seen and heard it all as a gynecologist, suddenly felt way out of her depth.
"l... I don't need anything," she stammered, bolting for the bathroom.
""But | do."
She froze, panic throwing off her coordination as she smacked right into the bathroom door with a loud thud.

Even after "everything" they'd been through overseas, moments like this still left her fumbling.
"I'll wait outside," he said softly, stepping out.

Before she could protest, he grabbed her hand and pulled her back into the break room.
Grabbing the blow dryer, he started drying her hair himself.
