Bella found it hard to associate those words with their current situation. Did he really think they were like that?
To her, it felt more like transitioning from unrequited love to an actual relationship. They were nowhere near

It must have been because of that earlier phone call. Bella knew he was busy, so she waved him off. "Alright, go

Suddenly, he leaned his handsface closer to her.

There was a certain unspoken understanding between a doctor and their patients. They didn't need to exchange
many words, and it didn't matter when the patient showed up.
