Summary
Abbot lifted his head to look down at her. “See, that’s the post-traumatic stress. Something happens that your brain decides is a life or death situation. You have a massive adrenaline kick while it’s all happening, and then when it’s bleeding out of you on the comedown, your brain throws out anything that’s not completely vital. The amount of car crash patients we have who don’t even remember coming to the ER when they submit requests for their medical records for insurance… the brain’s a weird thing, Mohan.”
“Yeah,” she said, shooting him a look out of the side of her eyes. “It can even make you convinced you have to hurt yourself in order to seek external validation when the most logical course of action is rest.”
He snorted softly, shaking his head and leaning it back. “God,” he muttered, his cheeks stained pink. “Robby was right. You should have gone into psych.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A night shift from hell ends in Mohan giving Abbot a ride back to his place, where tensions finally boil over.

“Get it together, Nolan,” he speaks right behind her. Right over her shoulder. Cold salt air grazing her jaw. “I don’t have time to babysit you.”

Summary
Emma Nolan is trying not to fall apart in the ER.
Dr. Brendon Park is trying… nothing, actually. He’s just like that.
Somewhere between trauma bays, quiet observations, and one very unfortunate dead car battery, they start circling something neither of them is ready to name.
Emma tells herself it doesn’t mean anything.
It keeps happening anyway.

Summary
Emma exhaled and let her head fall back against the pillow. Crisis averted. She could get up, take a shower, pretend last night never happened, and get to the hospital with plenty of time to—
The bed shifted.
Emma's entire body went rigid. Slowly, with the creeping dread of a horror movie protagonist, she turned her head.
There was a man in her bed.
Emma squealed—actually squealed, like some Victorian maiden—and scrambled backward, grabbing the sheet and yanking it with her as she tumbled off the bed. Her feet hit the floor hard, and she clutched the fabric to her bare chest, her heart hammering against her ribs.
The sheet came with her.
All of it.
Which meant the man in her bed was now completely, gloriously, horrifyingly naked.
