The emergency department at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital rarely slowed down long enough for anyone to think. Monitors chimed. Stretchers rolled past. Nurses and doctors moved through the chaos with practiced efficiency.

You were not supposed to return. Not like this. Lady Danbury as your families sponsor this year as you normally stay in Paris. You were not supposed to be in search of a husband.

Dr. Al-Hashimi had noticed you. Of course she had. You were young. Smart. Driven. And Dr. Robby seemed to have it out for you because you kept challenging him. She liked you, alright.

The call from the ER is routine enough on paper — airway consult, trauma intake, possible laryngeal involvement. Valerie gets paged down in the middle of her own service, already annoyed at the interruption, already halfway in work mode by the time she steps into the noise and fluorescent chaos of the trauma bay.

Yolanda has been in a mood all morning.
You were nice to everyone.
The pub was a welcome shock of warmth against the unusually crisp afternoon. Parker Ellis shrugged off her jacket, the familiar din of music and chatter already working to unravel the knots of a long shift. She spotted Shen immediately—a beacon of normality, except for the pint of beer in his hand instead of his usual Dunkin’ cup.

Yolanda Garcia had been off all day, which should have felt better than it did.

The night shift has a way of making everything feel unreal—like the hospital exists outside of time, suspended somewhere between exhaustion and adrenaline. At 3:07 a.m., you’re standing in the break room, staring at the sad little corkboard that holds everything from outdated CPR reminders to passive-aggressive notes about stolen yogurt. Your coffee tastes like regret, your scrubs smell faintly like antiseptic, and your bank account is… not something you want to think about.

The bar was dim in the forgiving way expensive places always were, all amber light and dark wood and the low blur of music that softened the edges of a bad week without quite erasing it. Glassware caught the light in flashes behind the bar. People laughed too loudly in clusters that felt far away. It smelled like whiskey, citrus peel, old polish, rain dragged in from outside.

Parker had always taken pride in her professionalism.
parker didn’t get you.
Yolanda wasn’t grumpy, or rude or even a bitch. She was professional, why would she waste her time babying the intern in the ER or soften the edge for an incompetent resident. No one ever did it for her. So yeah maybe she scared more than half the hospital, and the whole ER. But she fit right in with her fellow surgeon. They were all sharks just like her.

You were spending the night at Jennifer’s house again, a ritual that had become second nature to the both of you. Jennifer always seemed to come alive in your presence, her sharp wit and easy smile reserved exclusively for you. She didn’t care much for the company of others; they bored her, irritated her even. But you? You were different. Maybe it was because she was utterly, insatiably obsessed with you.

Surgery bay was HER territory, she was the star there. She was the miracle surgeon, the brand new doctor that shine in Dr.Miller eyes. The golden child of trauma surgery or whatever else she would think of. She showed teeth all the time, pushed her way to the top. She was a shark and wasn’t afraid to show her ambition.

The first time Yolanda Garcia hears about Y/N, it’s from Parker Ellis—half a sentence tossed over a chart, casual like it doesn’t matter.

The night shift settles into that particular kind of quiet that only exists in hospitals—machines humming, distant footsteps echoing down hallways, and the occasional overhead page breaking the stillness.
