CHAPTER 71

ENZOI drove straight to the company after leaving the campus gathering, my hands still tight on the wheel. That smirk from Damien was burned into my head, along with the way he had leaned in toward Julian like they were close. Julian had looked so tired in those scrubs, holding that bag, stepping back. I kept telling myself it was nothing. I didn’t care. But the cold feeling in my chest wouldn’t go away, and it mixed with the anger from everything else that had been building.When I walked into Dad’s office, he was already at his desk, going through some papers. He looked up and motioned for me to sit down across from him.“Enzo, sit. We need to talk about your plans after graduation. What law school or firm are you thinking about? Clerkships? Big law? You need to decide soon.”I sat down but didn’t relax. I was still fired up from Damien’s taunts earlier, and it was making everything sharper. “I haven’t picked anything yet. I’m handling it.”Dad leaned back in his chair, watching me

CHAPTER 72

JULIANI was still on shift at the hospital when my body finally gave out. The Emergency Department had been nonstop for hours, patients coming in with chest pains, car accidents, and everything in between. The noise from monitors and shouting never stopped, and I had been making quick calls on who needed what first. By the time I got a break, I dragged myself to the call room and collapsed onto one of the beds. My scrubs felt stuck to my skin, and my legs ached from running around all night. I stared at the ceiling for a minute, trying to shut my brain off, but it kept replaying the shift. I picked up my phone and stared at Enzo’s name in my messages. I should text him that I wouldn’t be home tonight since my shift was running long and I needed to crash here for a bit. But I hesitated, my thumb hovering over the screen. Should I even say anything? We’re not supposed to make this a big deal. It’s just sex when things get too much. But he might wonder where I am, and I don’t want him

CHAPTER 73

JULIAN Later that week Kai organized a small group dinner at this casual restaurant near campus. It was just the four of us, me, Kai, Charlotte, and Eros squeezed into a booth with plates of burgers and fries scattered across the table. The place was loud with other students laughing and talking, but it felt good to be out of the hospital for once. I had been running on fumes from the Emergency Department shifts, and this was the first time in days I actually felt like I could breathe.Kai was already in the middle of a story when I sat down. “I’m telling you, I mixed up two patients’ charts yesterday and almost gave the wrong meds. The resident looked at me like I was trying to kill someone on purpose. I swear my heart stopped for a second.”Eros laughed and stole a fry from Charlotte’s plate. “At least you didn’t have to deal with cadavers staring at you all week. One of them even had this weird tattoo that kept staring back at me during lab.”Charlotte rolled her eyes but smiled.

CHAPTER 74

JULIAN Weeks later, I was deep into another long shift at the hospital when my phone rang. I had been running around the Emergency Department dealing with back-to-back cases, and my mind was still half on that cardiology attending’s words from before. The idea of maybe switching directions kept nagging at me on top of the already crazy hours and exams. I stepped into a quiet corner and answered without looking at the screen.“Julian?” Kai’s voice came through, shaky and broken. He was crying, the kind of crying that made my stomach drop right away.“Hey, what’s wrong? Are you okay?” I asked, already moving toward the exit as I talked. I waved to a nurse that I needed a quick break and headed out to my car.Kai sniffled hard on the other end. “No, I’m not okay. Can you come over? Please? I don’t know who else to call right now.”“I’m on my way,” I said, starting the engine. “Just stay on the phone with me if you want. Tell me what happened.”He took a shaky breath. “It’s this guy I wa

CHAPTER 75

JULIAN I stayed by his bed, my heart pounding, until his dad arrived a short while later.Kai’s dad walked in looking worried sick. He came straight to the bed and put a hand on Kai’s arm.Kai stirred a little, his eyes fluttering open. He looked groggy, like he was still trying to figure out where he was. He blinked a few times and then mumbled, “Dad? Julian? I’m fine… I think. Just a little sore.”I leaned closer, relief mixing with the anger that was already building in my chest. “Kai, thank God you’re awake. You scared the hell out of us. What the hell happened out there?”Kai took a slow breath and started talking, his voice still weak but getting clearer. “The guy I was seeing… the situationship… he called me earlier today. He suggested we meet up in person to talk, I agreed. I was driving to the cafe when this truck came out of nowhere and hit my car from the side. That’s the last thing I remember before waking up here.”I felt my blood boil as he talked. The protective anger

CHAPTER 76

JULIAN I finally left the hospital after handling everything with Kai and his dad. My body felt heavy from the long shift and the emotional mess of the accident. The Emergency Medicine rotation was already wearing me down with the nonstop cases and the pressure, and now this thing with Kai on top of it made everything feel even heavier. I kept thinking about how angry I got when he explained the situationship and the truck hitting him. It wasn’t fair, and I hated seeing my friend hurt like that. When I got home to the penthouse, I dropped my bag by the door and headed straight for the living room. Enzo was there waiting. He must have heard me come in because he looked up from whatever he was doing and gave me that calm look he always has. “You look exhausted,” Enzo said as I sat down on the couch. “Rough day at the hospital?” I nodded and rubbed the back of my neck. “Yeah, it was. Kai had that accident earlier. I went to see him after my shift. He’s okay now, but it was scary for

CHAPTER 77

JULIANA month had passed since all the shenanigans. I pulled up to Charlotte’s suite just after dinner, backpack stuffed with notes, textbooks, and enough caffeine to power through the night. The professional exam was only hours away now, our big clinical licensing boards after years of rotations and the thought of it still sat heavy in my stomach. But studying with Charlotte always helped. She was steady where I got scattered.She opened the door in oversized scrubs and fuzzy socks, hair in a messy bun. “Finally. I was about to start without you. Come in, the living room’s already a war zone.”I stepped inside and dropped my bag on the coffee table, which was buried under highlighters, printed guidelines, and half-empty coffee mugs. “War zone is right. You look like you’ve been at it for hours already.”“Since this morning,” she admitted, flopping onto the couch and patting the spot beside her. “I figured if we cram together we might actually cover everything. Are you good?”I sat d

CHAPTER 78

JULIAN I sat across from Charlotte in the cozy booth at the little Italian place Eros had picked, the smell of garlic bread and fresh pasta filling the air. My plate was half-empty, but I was still riding the high from the exam. Eros and Kai were on the other side, already halfway through their second round of appetizers.Alll our phones dinged at the exact same time. We all froze for a second, then pulled them out together.“Short break for all students,” Charlotte read out loud, eyes widening. “Effective immediately for the next two weeks. Administrative notice sent via email.”Eros whooped so loud the table next to us turned around. “Yes! Two weeks off? I’m not complaining about that at all.”Kai pumped a fist in the air. “Finally! I was gonna lose it if they made us go straight back into rotations. This is perfect timing.”I stared at my screen, the relief hitting me hard. “Two weeks? That’s actually… wow. I didn’t even know they did that. After the exam stress and all the hospit

CHAPTER 79

JULIANI stepped into the shower, letting the hot water hit my back first. My muscles were still tight from the exam stress, the long night of studying, and everything else that had piled up these past weeks. The short break announcement felt like a miracle, but my body was running on fumes. I closed my eyes and let the steam build, trying to wash it all away.The bathroom door opened. I turned just as Enzo stepped in, already pulling off his shirt. His eyes locked on mine through the glass.His fingers brushed over my nipples and I gasped. The water made everything slick. He pinched one lightly, rolling it between his fingers.“Fuck,” I moaned, leaning back against the tile. “That feels good.”“Yeah?” Enzo’s voice dropped lower, darker. He leaned in and sucked one nipple into his mouth, tongue flicking over it while his hand worked the other. “You like when I do this? Tell me.”“Yes—God, yes,” I breathed, one hand gripping his shoulder. “Don’t stop. Been thinking about your mouth all

CHAPTER 80

JULIANI was still in the bathroom when Enzo’s voice cut through the apartment.“Hurry up, Julian. We need to hit the road if we want to get there before traffic gets worse.”I yanked the door open harder than necessary, towel still around my waist, hair dripping. “I heard you the first three times. I’m coming.”Enzo stood in the hallway, keys already in hand, that unreadable look on his face. The same one he’d worn all morning since our fight.“You said that twenty minutes ago,” he said flatly. “We’re not showing up late because you decided to take your sweet time.”I brushed past him toward the bedroom, muttering loud enough for him to hear. “Maybe if you weren’t breathing down my neck every five seconds I’d move faster. God forbid I take a minute to breathe after yesterday.”He followed. “Yesterday? You mean after I fucked you so good you passed out? Or after you spent the whole morning acting like a brat because I asked if you wanted coffee?”I spun around, towel slipping a little
