Sophie had been a nurse for five years, and she’d learned how to stay emotionally detached from her patients. But when she met Alex, that rule went out the window. Alex had been in a motorcycle accident, and his injuries were severe. From the moment Sophie saw him, she felt a pull she couldn’t explain. He was quiet, reserved, and in a lot of pain, but there was something about the way he looked at her when she walked into the room that made her heart race. As the days went by, Sophie stayed by his side, helping him with recovery and offering him small comforts. One night, after a long shift, Alex took her hand and whispered, “You’ve been my rock, Sophie. I don’t know how I would’ve made it without you.” Sophie’s heart melted, and she realized she was no longer just caring for him as a nurse—she was falling in love with him. By the time Alex was ready to leave the hospital, he had something more than just his health to take with him: Sophie’s heart.
