Willow's POV

I was sitting in the dental chair just like Noah and I practiced.

It was the perfect way for my body language to show confidence, and completely hide my fear.

I can't believe Dr. Clemens doesn't trust me, and has to give me one last checkup to ensure that I'm over my fear.

I'm not.

But he doesn't need to know that, and as long as I can show it, it doesn't really matter.

Dr. Clemens washes his hands, puts a mask on, and snaps a pair of gloves on. He's trying to get a rise out of me, but I'm just staring up at the ceiling, counting the tiles.

"Open, Ms. Samuels."

I open my mouth, just the right amount, but don't look away from the ceiling tiles.

I literally just had my cavity filled an hour ago. There was nothing wrong in my mouth.

I had my stitches from my wisdom teeth still but that was it.

Dr. Clemens seemed satisfied as his tools left my mouth. I didn't see them or feel them since my mouth was still mostly numb, but I heard them clink against the tray.

He sighed heavily.

Why is he sighing.

I did everything right.

I was a perfect patient who just laid here, still and quiet.

Dr. Clemens moved the chair up, and disposed of his gloves.

Noah and I just looked at him, waiting to see what he was going to say.

"I'll see you both at the white coat ceremony. Congratulations, you passed."

And then he gets up to opens the door and rushes us out of his exam room.

I mean I was thankful to get out of there, but that was kinda rude.

When we get out of the clinic, Noah and I both get a notification on our phones from the dental academy, confirming what we just heard.

I passed!

"We passed!!" I exclaimed, my mouth still slightly numb, so my words were slurred.

"I'm so happy for you!" Noah said as I jumped into his arms.

I kissed him, so excited that we both just passed our final exam and we were on our way to becoming dentists.

I could tell how happy he was as he kissed me back.

As we broke apart our kiss, I couldn't help but look at how gorgeous and charming my boyfriend, that happened to be a dentist, was.

"You're going to be the best dentist, Dr. Noah Gray."

"And so are you, Dr. Willow Samuels."

The End.

Or is it?

A/N

Do I write a chapter about the white coat ceremony, as kind of the very last chapter and epilogue?

Do I dare write a sequel?

What would it even be about?

Thank you guys for this journey.

This is my most read book, and I don't want it to come to an end. But there's always a possibility for a sequel.

Till next time.
