Family, friends, even horses can be longed for when life falls into a tragedy. When a young and engaged nurse gets a job in London, lonesomeness starts to settle in the heart of Elanna Davani as the city isn't as bright as she wanted it to be.

I pace back and forth on the pavement whilst biting on my nail. I think of all sorts of dangerous things that could happen to Ava right now. My mind spirals and all I could think about is losing the only family I have left.
My parents would be so disappointed in me knowing that I was so reckless to lose her. I can already hear my dad screaming at me and my mom telling me that everything is my fault. I feel my chest tighten with anxiety, my eyes watering with the fear of never seeing Ava again.
"Elanna", I hear the familiar deep voice approach me from behind. I immediately turn around and that's when my eyes meet Alvaro's. He looks well groomed as always with a black cotton trench coat placed over his casual attire.
He stops in his spot and creases his brows after seeing the state i'm in. My entire body takes me by surprise as I immediately grab onto his large frame and bury me head into his chest, immediately feeling comfort as I take in the warmth if his body.
Being so close to him feels so surreal. The lingering strength of musky cologne fills my entire nose and with every beat of his heart thumping against my ear, I feel my heart beating in the same rhythm as his.
His large arms wrap around mine as I melt in his embrace. "We'll find her", He says with reassurance. I slowly let my arms drop and that's when I clear my throat and gather myself together, reasoning to why I have him here with me in the first place.
"How?", I ask with my eyes peering up at him. "I informed my team. One of the stations in Mayfair has taken in a girl after she told them she was lost. She's small. Dark hair. Green eyes. An odd description that sounds exactly like you. I thought you were the one lost for a second", He says with a soft smile growing on his lips.
I let out a scoff, admiring his humor to cheer me up before feeling my body calm with ease. "Yeah we look similar. But she has more sass than me", I say. Alvaro smiles. "Well I would definitely love to meet her then", He responds.
I roll my eyes before he gestures for me to walk with him. "Come on. We'll take the tube", He says. I nod before we both walk together and occasionally bump sides as we walk through the crowds of people.
Alvaro's guidance helped me to understand the underground more. His detailing has taught me so much in the last 5 minutes, making him much more hotter with the knowledge that he holds.
As we step onto the train, Alvaro stands back against the pole that's used to hold onto. I step in front of him and look down as I shuffle between the crowds of people during this peak hour.
The train suddenly halts again as it pulls off to move and that's when I find myself tripping over my feet and stumbling forward. Alvaro's quick to catch me and as my eyes peer up at him, I feel my grip on his jacket tighten from the tension that wavers between us.
