I nodded and returned my gaze back to Liv. She placed a hand on my chest, opening and closing her fist. I heard her sniffle and rubbed her hair gently.
"Listen. I know you may not want to tell me what happened right now. But at some...
Here's an important note. I realize distinguishing between the two Dr. Altman brothers is confusing. So I will make one minor adjustment. The Doctor Altman that hired Will at the clinic will stay Dr. Altman. But the Doctor Altman from the ambulance will be changed to Dr. Altmen. They still have the same last name, I just made that change to make it less confusing for y'all. Okay, enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 16: the argument
I am numb.
Not literally but I can't even process what just happened. That examination was excruciating. I feel so exposed, so naked. Almost like a science experiment, being poked and prodded for information. It went on and on for hours like I expected it would but Will was really gentle through it.
I sit on the bed with the covers hiding half my face. I don't want to show myself. I feel so disgusting. Will is standing at the counter with his back towards me, putting away some of the equipment. After a few short moments, he turns around and walks over to the bed, instantly engulfing me in a hug. I don't really acknowledge the sudden gesture mostly because its so unexpected that all I can do is hug him back as a nervous reaction. But I'm not really complaining.

He keeps one hand on the back of my head while I keep my arms wrapped around his torso. He's wearing blue scrubs that feel rubbery between my fingers and they smell like disinfectant. But I don't really care in this moment.
I pull back and Will looks into my eyes, glancing down at my lips. Every other second he changes from my eyes to my lips. Eyes to lips. It's like a trance. A slow.. seductive trance. My body feels like it's swaying. And then I start to lean in closer. Like I'm being magnetically pulled. There is something deep inside me that's keeping me from stopping. I've never felt this way before. I can feel the body heat mix between the both of us but yet I'm still getting chills.
Will moves his hands farther down my back and around my waist causing me to clench my fists around the fabric that stretch across his shoulders. Our lips are so close together I only have to lean in an inch and the space won't exist anymore. But Will loosens his grip on my waist and breathes heavily.
