Y/n is a nurse working long, unpredictable shifts—nights that blur into mornings, exhaustion that never really leaves. samuel lawrence is the bartender at the same club she keeps ending up in, no matter the hour. she doesn’t come in regularly. doesn’t stay long. doesn’t try to be noticed. but she comes back. sometimes. and somewhere between late nights and half-finished drinks, samuel starts to notice. then remember. then wait. every shift, every night— watching the door, just in case she walks in again.
