Livia:
My heart was pounding as I got ready, and for some reason, I picked the most beautiful black dress from my closet.
Earlier, I’d had a towel wrapped around my hair, but the moment Daniel called, I rushed to get ready.
I quickly blow-dried my hair and applied red lipstick without even understanding why I was putting in so much effort.
The second I stepped out of my room with my lab coat draped over my arm and my laptop bag hanging from my shoulder, my mother immediately noticed.
“What?” I asked, turning toward the mirror to check my reflection again. “Did I mess up my makeup or something?”
That was what I thought she was staring at until she finally spoke.
“Where are you going?” she asked suspiciously. “Are you going on a date? Did my words really affect you that much?”
She started rambling excitedly, and that was when I realized how strange I must have looked.
I turned to her with a cheeky grin.
“No. Remember when I told you about my patient? I just got news about him,” I replied, trying to avoid her gaze.
But my mother continued staring at me with one eyebrow raised.
Of course she was confused.
I was wearing a dress instead of the usual pants and shirt I wore while visiting patients.
“I don’t have time for this. Bye,” I said quickly before she could ask another question.
And I knew she still had plenty of them left.
I avoided my mother’s gaze and hurried out to my car.
Once I got inside and started driving to the lab, I kept questioning what I was doing and why I was acting this way.
It felt a little desperate.
But every time I sat beside him in that room, working on different medicines, I found myself staring at him without even realizing it.
There was something strangely beautiful about him.
“Is he fully awake, or is he still—” I began asking the moment I walked down the hallway and spotted Daniel.
Instead of answering, he slowly looked me up and down.
“What is this?” he asked.
Immediately, I rushed toward the nearest window to check my reflection again.
“What? Do I look bad or something?” I asked anxiously.
Daniel stared at me like he genuinely wanted to ask if I had lost my mind.
“Why are you so dressed up?” he asked softly, giving me a look that practically screamed, I told you that you were doing too much.
“I’m not,” I tried to argue, but then I nodded to myself.
I mean, I was the only person here wearing a fucking dress with red lipstick and my hair down.
“Actually, I was thinking about going on a date,” I admitted awkwardly. “My mother keeps forcing me to meet someone, and then you called, so–” I shrugged.
I mean, who even goes on a date this early in the morning?
“Oh? A date?” Daniel asked, finally shifting his attention away from the stranger. “Who is he?”
I immediately realized I didn’t have an answer.
