After my shift, as I left the hospital, I ran into Stacy.
She appeared to be in an argument with Julian.
"Julian, are you really just going to stop caring about me?"
"I'll be good. I won't get in the way of you and Yara again. Please, just don't ignore me, okay?"
Not wanting to encounter them, I messaged Julian saying I had to work overtime and returned to the department.
An hour later, when I finally went downstairs, I was shocked to find Julian still waiting. I looked around, but Stacy was gone.
The walk home was spent in complete silence.
The next day, Julian—who hadn't reached out in forever—surprisingly messaged my work account again.
Dr. Harvey, are you free?
I didn't respond, yet he continued his monologue.
I don't know what's wrong with me lately. Everything is going fine
