Y/N had always been good at her job. Working as a nurse at Forks Community Hospital meant long shifts, difficult patients, and spending far too much time around one particular doctor. Dr. Carlisle Cullen. He was kind. Intelligent. Beautiful in a way that almost didn’t seem real—and, unfortunately, completely fascinated by her. At first, Y/N didn’t notice. She didn’t notice the way Carlisle always seemed to know when she’d skipped lunch. Or how his eyes followed her across the nurses’ station. Or how he somehow found reasons to be on her floor even when he wasn’t needed there. He never touched her. Never crossed a line. He simply watched. And eventually, he started trying to get closer. Coffee after shifts. Conversations in empty hallways. Little gestures that made his feelings increasingly obvious. But when Carlisle finally pushed his luck, Y/N rejected him. And Carlisle Cullen, being Carlisle Cullen, didn’t argue. He simply stepped away. No more lingering conversations. No more coffee. No more finding excuses to stand beside her. He gave her exactly what she’d asked for. Distance. Except something unexpected happened during that distance. Carlisle moved on. The feelings he’d carried for Y/N slowly faded, replaced by a quiet acceptance that perhaps she’d never wanted him the way he’d wanted her. And just when Carlisle stops looking… Y/N starts noticing. The empty chair beside her at lunch. The missing coffee. The doctor who no longer searches for her across the hospital. The man who once watched her from a distance now barely looks her way. And suddenly, the person who wanted nothing to do with Carlisle Cullen is the one desperately wishing she’d never pushed him away. Now Y/N has a problem. She wants him back. But Carlisle isn’t waiting for her anymore. And winning back someone who already stopped loving you might be much harder than rejecting them ever was.
