Still with you

Kiara Santos never expected to see Sabrina Hernández again-especially not here, not in scrubs, not walking through the double doors of the care home she now leads as a CNA. It's been a year since Kiara was fired from Costco. A year since she buried the crush she never had the courage to speak on. A year since Sabrina's smile last made her stomach twist.

But now Sabrina's back. Not as a coworker, but as the worried granddaughter of a new patient-Alma Hernández. Their worlds, once casually parallel, are suddenly entangled again in the sterile halls of the facility where Kiara works alongside her cousins Leah and Brooke, Leah's boyfriend Dean, and a loud, unpredictable toddler named Joshua. Watching quietly in the background is Trinity, Sabrina's best friend, who knows more than she lets on.

Kiara tries to keep her distance, tries to pretend her feelings have long been buried. But Sabrina presence stirs old emotions-and new ones she's not ready to name. And the worst part? Sabrina still as charming, as soft-spoken, as warm as ever. Still laughing at Leah's dumb jokes. Still lighting up every room without even trying.

As days turn into weeks, Sabrina and Kiara begin to grow closer-over soup bowls, over late-night phone calls about Alma's condition, over shared grief and silent longing. What starts as professional and careful begins to feel intimate. Familiar. Dangerous.

But Kiara knows what Sabrina doesn't say. Knows that Sabrina's never dated a girl. That the world she comes from may not welcome someone like Kiara. And when reality comes crashing in-through misunderstandings, jealousy, and truths neither of them are ready to face-their bond threatens to break before it ever had the chance to become something real.

Because falling for Sabrina again? That was never part of the plan.

But some things never leave you.

Some feelings...
are still with you.
