Just like he'd dropped me off.
In a stretch limousine.
Which honestly shocked me, considering I met him on the train.
Apparently lonely immortal Demons ride public transportation for emotional support.
Who knew?
The truth is I’m scared. There is so much I don’t know about Desmond or what this whole mate thing means.
But I want to find out.
I don’t reply as I get ready to make my rounds.
And honestly, my shift starts the same way it always does.
Patients.
Charting.
Chaos.
A man convinced his toe fungus is a government conspiracy.
Business as usual.
And all day long, I feel Desmond.
Not physically.
Not exactly.
But emotionally.
Warmth.
Love.
Joy.
It's like sitting in sunlight.
Like someone wrapped a blanket around my heart.
Every now and then I stop and smile for absolutely no reason.
Because I can feel him loving me.
Which still sounds insane.
And I still don't fully believe.
How can someone love me after one day?
But the feeling keeps coming.
Steady.
