Always, Lily

~complete~

Lilith Ashford was a name you'd easily hear in the hospital hallways but you wouldn't spot her easily until you were keen enough.

She was usually in the spotlight yet not clearly seen. No one concentrated enough on her until a new medic is hired and he begins showing up everywhere she is.

They say that he's cold and aloof, always minding his business and rarely interacting with the other staff but why does he keep trying to help everytime Lilith finds herself in a fix?

"My eyes," for a moment, my hands stopped shaking and my attention instantly shifted to him.

"Look into them when you get too overwhelmed," He uttered softly as he held the tiny palm of my hand against his.

I followed the pattern of his breathing, firmly grasping onto his hand and the edge of his white coat as the lift went up to the fortieth floor.

Not once did my eyes deter from his.
