Daisy was halfway out the door, tugging her coat over her scrubs.

“I’m leaving, Chelly!” she yelled.

She swung open the front door—and froze.

A massive black SUV sat parked directly in front of the house, sleek and dark like it belonged to the Secret Service. In front of it stood a man in a suit, completely unbothered by the early morning breeze, holding a placard that read:

‘FOR MISS CHELLE’

Daisy’s eyes widened.

She backed into the house in reverse, her butt leading the way like sh

  • Talk to me nicely    Chapter 114

    Daisy fumbled with the key at the door, her hands still shaking from everything that had happened at the restaurant. The hallway light of their small apartment flicked on as she pushed the door open with her shoulder, the faint scent of vanilla candles and laundry detergent wrapping around her like a familiar blanket.She stepped inside, closing the door softly behind her. The quiet of the apartment was a complete contrast to the clink of glasses, low music, and laughter that had filled the restaurant just an hour ago. Her heart was still pounding, her mind replaying the moment over and over, as if it couldn’t quite believe it had been real.“Chelle?” Daisy called, kicking off her heels by the door. “You home?”“I’m in the living room!” her sister’s voice floated back, a little too bright, a little too tight.Daisy slipped out of her coat and hung it on the hook, feeling the smooth, stiff edge of the small envelope still in her hand. It seemed absurd that something so thin, so light,

  • Talk to me nicely    Chapter 113

    Daisy had always loved this restaurant at night.By day, the restaurant was all soft light and chatter, a place for hurried business lunches and clinking coffee cups. But after sundown the world outside the tall windows faded to silhouettes, and the inside transformed. The low amber lamps over each table floated like miniature moons. Tea candles flickered in old brass holders. Somewhere near the kitchen, a violinist was playing something slow and lilting that made everything feel slightly unreal, like a dream she could touch.She smoothed her palms over the blue dress she’d bought last week—the one Chelle had insisted she try on “because your eyes will look insane in that, trust me”—and exhaled slowly. The waiter had already refilled her water twice. Her phone read 7:14 p.m.He was late.Very unusual for Johnson, she reminded herself with a wry half-smile. Punctuality and creativity had never been friends in his world. Still, tonight her nerves were tuned too high to let her relax. T

    The morning sun streamed through the tall windows of Simon’s office, spilling golden light across the polished floors and dark wood furniture. The room, usually sharp and commanding, felt softer today. Almost welcoming. Chelle sat quietly on the leather couch, letting herself take it in.She hadn’t realized how much she missed this space until now.Simon stood near his desk, sleeves rolled up, tie slightly loosened. He looked different too. Less guarded. The hard edge he wore like armor most days wasn’t there. When he looked at her, his eyes were gentle.They had been through so much.They had nearly lost each other. There were nights she lay awake wondering if loving him had cost her everything.But she was happy they hadn’t given up. And now they were here.Together.“So,” Simon said, pushing off his desk, a small smile tugging at his mouth, “I assume you’re curious why I asked you to come in.”He walked toward the small coffee table between them. Two mugs sat there, steam rising ge

    Daisy pressed her palms flat against the cool tile and let the fluorescent hum of the breakroom sink into her bones the way a long, slow breath can settle a racing heart. Around her, the celebration felt like a small island of brightness shoved into the hospital’s steady gray — a table pushed against a bulletin board heavy with scheduling notices and protocols, a lopsided banner reading “CONGRATULATIONS INTERNS”, a paper cake with plastic candles, and half a dozen exhausted but exhilarated interns lingering like soldiers after a victorious skirmish. It smelled faintly of coffee and antiseptic, and the laughter smelled like something Daisy could hold onto.She had done it. The last shift of her internship, and someone — probably Miller, who had the gift for exactly the right small, theatrical gestures — had declared them, the whole class of rotating, over-caffeinated life-savers, “nurses now, officially,” which was nonsense and everything Daisy wanted to hear at once. For months the wo

  • Talk to me nicely    Chapter 10

    She was sunshine and daisies and everything beautiful in the world and, as she leaned further into the door and tugged on his collar to pull him closer, he thought his legs might give way. She tasted so fucking good.She tangled her hands in his hair,her tongue along his lower lip, tasting him and moaning.“You need to open that door now, or I’m going to do filthy things to you in this hallway,” he managed between gasping breaths.Chelle pulled away long enough to fumble with the lock, and he reached out a hand to help. She stilled and looked up at him with dark eyes, licking her lips, making a maid sight then . “Oops,” she whispered.Simon chuckled and pushed her further into the door until there was no space between them, only far too many clothes. “You’re dangerous.”She pressed soft kisses up his throat and slid his jacket from his shoulders until it fell to the floor with a thump. He tugged at the bottom of his t-shirt, but she pushed him back, spinning them so that his back was

    The short holiday folded itself away quietly. Suitcases lay open on the bed like tired mouths. The curtains breathed in and out with the last morning breeze, sunlight stretching across the floor one final time before checkout. Chelle zipped her bag slowly, pressing down on the fabric as if that could press down the way her chest felt.Simon had work he had to get back to .And Daisy… Daisy would no longer be “almost.” She was a registered nurse. The thought alone pulled a small smile from Chelle’s lips.“So what’s actually your plan to gift her?” Simon asked, his fingers finding hers between the seats.She didn’t answer immediately.He laced their hands together properly, thumb brushing over her knuckles, then lifted her hand and pressed his lips against it.The kiss was soft and intentional .Heat climbed straight to her cheeks.“Trust me, I don’t know yet and I’m quite confused,” she sighed, staring at their joined hands. “I don’t wanna do too much.”Simon leaned back in his seat, stu
