There were times when I would see her exiting his room with a neutral expression, which left me wondering about their relationship.
Did we not have a close bond?
It seemed strange that she wasn’t more visibly upset about her husband’s condition.
In any case, I tried not to dwell on it too much.
Isabella and Salvatore’s relationship was none of my business.
As a nurse, my focus was on making sure Dante’s father was as comfortable as possible during this recovery period, not to be a relationship counselor.
Besides, I had my own conflicting emotions to deal with regarding Dante.
When it came to Dante, I couldn't deny that my feelings for him had resurfaced.
It was clear that he recognized me, too.
On the first day of my shift, as I was checking his father's vitals for the night, he approached me and mentioned how nice it was to see me after three years.
His words caught me off guard, but I tried to keep my composure and remain professional.
To my surprise, he didn’t confront me over what happened those years ago, and up till now, he still hadn’t.
“Do you think he doesn’t care?” I asked, biting my lower lip.
“Maybe he doesn’t want to make you feel uncomfortable?” Jessie shrugged, her ginger curls bouncing.
“I know you told me how you guys met at a club and all, but considering how you’re back in his life now, don’t you think you owe me the full gist instead of the watered version you gave me?”
I rolled my eyes at her.
“I mean, I get the one-night stand thing, but I don’t get how you guys developed feelings for each other afterward. You only told me that you guys kept bumping into each other on different occasions after that night.”
I sighed and tipped my head back on the couch I was sitting on.
I can still remember the day Dante and I first met.
It had been at a club where one of my friends had thrown a party.
I had seen him talking to some men dressed professionally, and it took my breath away because he was so attractive.
It later turned out the attraction had been mutual when we caught each other’s eyes, and from a casual conversation to harmless flirting before I knew it, we stumbled into a hotel room courtesy of Dante and gave into our desire.

FLASHBACK
We barely entered the door before he had a hand around my waist and was hauling me against his chest to capture my lips in a searing kiss that made my head spin.
I didn’t hesitate to kiss him back, tangling my hand through his raven locks while the other reached behind my back to push the door closed.
When the door locked behind us, we stumbled to the bed, and I fell backward onto it, breaking the kiss.
Looking up, I was greeted with a lovely view of Dante standing in front of me with his hair messed up, lips, pink and swollen from our kiss.
“Take your shirt off,” I said, my chest heaving with the desire to see more of him. He smirked, setting a knee on the bed beside my thigh, leaning down to nip at my earlobe.
“Show me yours and I’ll show you mine.” He teased.
