Parallel Affections

Dr. Zayne was an enigma, you thought. During your appointments he always kept proper and professional, you could never ever make him laugh. He touched you with precision when he need to check your pulse or suture a wound. He didn't bat an eye at your exposed skin and went about his job with a sense of detachment. But, when you were out of the hospital, Zayne was a different person. He liked to gently tease you. He got grumpy at silly little inconveniences. And he wouldn't touch you. Not outside of your doctor patient relationship. Not ever.
