I had forgotten that she was still standing outside. I let go of her and she made her way in. I closed the door as she was in.
"You were still asleep, looking like a baby," she said as she made her way to the kitchen. "I didn't want to disturb you. Plus, I was worried that you'd pounce on me once you woke up."
"What kind of man do you think I am?" I asked and frowned.
"I remember, a certain someone not stopping, no matter how much I complained that I was hurting or couldn't hold my climax," she reminded me. "Now I'm ruined for marriage. No one would have me."
"Maybe it's better that no one would have you," I said.
She raised a brow, and I shook my head negatively.
She smiled and looked away. "By the way, I left a note that I was going out to get popcorn. You didn't see it?"
"I did," I recalled the note I had found on the bedside table. "I didn't read it. I assumed it was something else."
"Oh, well," she said as she opened the microwave. "I turned this off and forgot my lasagna. Join me for dinner?'
"I will, please," I replied.
"I'll be working full time tomorrow," she said. "I did skip work today."
"It's okay. I already know what happened," I said.
"Well, you still need to punish me for it. Your staff don't know we're staying together," she reminded me.
"Oh right. Forgot about that," I sighed. "You can work the day."
"I look forward to the rest of my days here," she said with a smile as she plated our meal.
"You say it like you don't have an entire month here," I said.
"Well Ethan texted while you were asleep," she said. "I don't think I'll be up to a month here, due to how peculiar my situation is."
"Oh," I said and my shoulders dropped.
That's right, she was leaving soon. Ethan had somehow mentioned it during our feedback meetings. Before I started helping her with her insecurities, I needed to work on mine.
The two of us had crossed a line together and that was definitely going to cause a change in our relationship as employer and employee.

"Everything's been going great over here, Dr Williams," I replied.
Five days had passed since I had told Ben my story. I felt freer, and the moments I spent with Chloe and him were wholesome and comforting. I had gone to see Ethan about my performance review. He had been meeting with Ben, but both of us hardly met to talk.
Ever since the Stacy lady left, he seemed a lot different. There was this serious air around him. That playful charisma he had when I met him was almost gone as well.
We were on call with Dr Helen William to discuss my next course of action.
"You know, when this knucklehead told me that he had made a mistake regarding your role there, I was worried," she sighed. "But at least you've adjusted."
"Indeed I have. The Good Heart hospital has been one of the best places I've worked," I said.
"Better than mine?" she asked.
