Dr. Ethan Ramsey, renowned around the state (maybe even the country) for being a strict and demanding attending physician with high expectations of all interns and residents in his department, couldn't stop smiling.
He knew he'd received more than one incredulous look that day, but the fact of the matter was he couldn't make himself care. All day long his mind kept drifting to celebrating his paper anniversary with Cassie and a moonlit dinner date he'd started planning almost immediately after their text exchange.
It was a coincidence that he had gone grocery shopping yesterday. Still, the fresh swordfish in his fridge would go well with a recipe he'd seen on Cooking with Nigella ─ pan fried with a three-herb salsa that took very little time to prep and cook.
It was a pity he and Cassie kept missing each other all day, but that's usually how it transpired on the days they didn't have a case for the Diagnostics Team. She had her own patients, often assigned by Mirani in his capacity as Chief Resident, and he had his.
Now it was almost end of shift and he was looking forward to clocking out. Per usual, he'd meet Cassie in the parking lot so that they could go home together.
Even though their families and friends knew about their relationship now, they were still being careful at work to prevent any rumors of impropriety or malicious gossip about her.
