Caddion and Percival returned from their honeymoon in Spain rejuvenated and ready to face the challenges of their professional lives.

The love and commitment they shared during their time away had only deepened, strengthening the foundation of their relationship.

As they walked into Mercy General Hospital on their first day back, they were greeted with warm smiles and hearty congratulations from their colleagues.
The hospital had been abuzz with stories of their beautiful wedding and romantic honeymoon, and everyone was eager to hear more.

Dr. Martinez, one of Caddion's close friends and a senior surgeon, approached them with a grin.

"Welcome back, you two. We missed you around here."

"Thanks, Miguel,"

Caddion replied, shaking his friend's hand.

"It's good to be back. We had an amazing time, but we're ready to get back to work."

Percival nodded in agreement.

"Absolutely. There's nothing like the feeling of making a difference in our patients' lives."

The day quickly fell into the familiar rhythm of rounds and patient consultations.
Despite the chaos and stress of the hospital environment, Caddion and Percival found solace and strength in each other.

One afternoon, during a rare lull in their schedules, they found themselves in the hospital's rooftop garden, a tranquil oasis where staff could unwind. They sat on a bench, enjoying the cool breeze and the view of the city skyline.

"It's hard to believe we're back,"

Percival said, leaning against Caddion.

"Everything feels so different now, in the best possible way."

Caddion smiled, wrapping his arm around Percival.

"I know what you mean. Our wedding and honeymoon were incredible, but there's something comforting about being back here, doing what we love."

Percival looked up at Caddion, his eyes filled with affection.

"You're right. And it's even better knowing we're doing it together."

Their peaceful moment was interrupted by the sound of footsteps. Nurse Jenkins, who had been a steadfast supporter of their relationship, approached them with a warm smile.

"There you two are. I was hoping to find you before my shift ended."

"Hey, Nurse Jenkins,"

Percival greeted her.

"What's up?"

"I just wanted to say how happy I am for both of you,"

she said sincerely.

"Your love story is an inspiration to all of us here. It reminds us that even in the midst of all the chaos, true love can thrive."
