Look, I'm not going to lie to you. This story is going to sound completely insane.
I took the night shift because nobody asks questions at 3 AM. Because I needed somewhere to disappear after running 1,200 miles from a man who spent three years convincing me I was lucky anyone would put up with me at all.
I thought the graveyard shift at St. Catherine's Memorial would be perfect – just me, the darkness, and patients too sick to notice that their new nurse flinched every time someone raised their voice.
Then I met Dr. David Castellanos, and everything I thought I knew about hiding fell apart.
He only works nights. Says he has some rare condition that makes sunlight dangerous. Never eats, never seems tired, hands always ice-cold but steadier than anyone's should be after eighteen straight hours of surgery.
And God, the way he looks at me. Like he sees every broken piece and wants to keep me anyway.
Here's the thing nobody tells you about falling for a vampire: it's not the fangs that scare you. It's not even the blood or the immortality or the whole technically-dead thing.
It's realizing that someone who's spent centuries thinking he's a monster sees something in you worth saving. It's discovering that the man who's been starving himself because he's afraid of hurting people would rather drain himself to nothing than risk touching you wrong.
It's him making you believe – for the first time in your life – that you might actually be worth choosing forever.
I never thought I'd be the kind of person who'd give up her humanity for love. But then again, I never thought I'd find someone who made me feel human in the first place.
This is the story of what happens when two broken people find each other in the dark and decide that maybe, just maybe, they're worth putting back together.
