Heart's That Stayed

𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗱 | a medical romance 💉💔

Estella Rosewood has spent her whole life running-from the memories of a childhood that scarred her, the fire that stole her parents, and the pain she refuses to speak of. Now, she's finally made it: a first-year medical intern at Northbridge Memorial Hospital, where everything feels just a little too fast, too heavy, and too real.

Rowan West doesn't do attachments. Quiet, brilliant, and colder than the OR floor, he's got his own ghosts-and he's made peace with pushing people away before they ever get too close.

They weren't supposed to become anything.

But late nights, tired eyes, coffee runs, and the kind of pain only two broken hearts can recognize? It brings them together anyway.

💔 She's scared to let anyone in.
🩺 He's used to walking alone.
But in the middle of trauma bays, whispered confessions, and stolen glances in sterile hallways... love finds a way to stay.
