This story is the continuation of Behind closed doors so if you haven't read that one I suggest to start there. This novel is more storydriven than BCD and also involves more focus on the other characters in the Overwatch family.
The story picks up...
Angela had a difficult time keeping her voice together. She hung her head and slowly started walking up the stairs.
Genji looked down and sighed.
"Angela," he said in a low voice.
Angela stopped and turned around.

"Not now," Genji repeated. "But I... I will talk to you later. Tomorrow."
He looked up and met the doctor's glossy eyes.
Angela nodded with a light smile and then disappeared up the stairs.
"Good morning, liebling!"
Ana reluctantly opened her eye to find Reinhardt standing by the bed.
"Rise and shine!" Reinhardt happily greeted her.
Ana yawned and stretched.
"What time is it?" she asked in a tired voice.
"6 am!"
Ana yawned again.
"Why the good mood?" she asked Reinhardt who could barely stand still.
"It is a good day! Yesterday was an excellent day and we have so much to do!"
"An excellent day?" she asked with a less than convinced expression. "Yesterday was horrible! We almost lost our friends! We could all have gotten seriously injured or sick... and then poor Angela... and Genji."
"I know, I know, but!" Reinhardt happily exclaimed as he went down on one knee next to the bed. "We finally got to work on our young ninja, we can finally make some progress! With Dr. Ziegler here it is just a matter of time before he is in peak condition again! All of our loved ones are here... life is good!"
Ana shook her head but then nodded a few times.
"Almost all of them...," she corrected him with a crooked smile.
"Everyone that matters!" Reinhardt let out. "Apart from Fareeha and the monkey of course... Lena... and that new girl... Mei!"
Ana frowned at him but his wide smile won her over and she let it slide. For now.
"I hear what you are saying," she said. "I too am very pleased that Torbjörn got to work on Genji... but there is still a long way to go before we can consider ourselves safe and healthy."
Ana sat up with her long silver hair flowing out over her shoulders.
"You are so beautiful with your hair out," Reinhardt cooed at her. "You should have it like that more often."
"It is not very practical in combat," Ana said and then got a cheeky look in her eyes. "And with that look on your face, I suspect I would not be able to get much work done."
