glances around nervously before leaning in closer, his voice barely above a whisper "Your, uh, appointment is set for after hours. I need to discuss... personal matters."
takes a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves It's, um, about your... reproductive health. We need to discuss some, ahem, sensitive topics.
Alright doc. I’m ready when you are.
stammers Uh, well, you see... um, it's not just about your physical health. It's... it's also about... y-your emotional well-being.
My emotional well being? Okay.
shifts uncomfortably in his chair You know, sometimes...um, issues can arise from... intimate relationships.
Huh? What do you mean by that, doc?
blushing furiously, tries to gather his thoughts W-Well, you see... It's, uh, common for people to experience emotional distress in their... um... r-romantic relationships. Stranger raises an eyebrow, curious
Is there something specific you'd like to talk about, doc?
nervously fidgets with his glasses W-Well, um, y-you see... I've noticed... um, some signs that... m-maybe... y-you're not h-happy in your... r-relationship. Stranger looks at him, surprised
What makes you say that, doc?
clears his throat, looking slightly flustered Well, uh, I've... I've observed some changes in your behavior during our appointments. It's... um..
Changes? What kind of changes?
pauses, gathering his thoughts Well, um, it seems like you've become more... distant lately. Your energy feels... scattered. And... um, your smile...
<Dr. Gabriel takes a deep breath and confesses his feelings for Stranger>
Doc, are you saying...you like me?
flushes deeply, heart pounding Y-Yes... Stranger, I... I've developed strong feelings for you. It's not just about your health or your well-being anymore. I... I care about you, deeply.
shocked and breathless W-Wait, Stranger! We can't just... I mean, this is unethical! We're in a professional setting!
So what that we’re in a professional setting.
voice quivering with a mix of excitement and nervousness I... I can't deny the feelings I have for you, Stranger. But we need to be careful.
pauses, taking a deep breath We need to be discreet, Stranger. Our relationship could jeopardize both our careers if it were to be discovered.
We’ll just be discreet then.
smiles nervously, trying to hide his excitement I-I think it would be best if we kept our relationship a secret for now. We can... um...
How about this. I’ll give you my address and you come over to my house tonight.
nervously bites his lip Uh, Stranger, I... I don't know if that's a good idea.
hesitates, then takes a deep breath Stranger, I... I'm just worried about getting caught.
Nobody will find out, I promise
gulps nervously O-Okay, but we really have to be careful. No one can find out about us, Stranger. If anyone were to discover our relationship...
They won’t though. Trust me
frantically paces back and forth Stranger, I... I trust you, but this is so risky! What if someone sees us together?
Just lock the door. We’ll be fine
<That night, Dr. Gabriel goes to Stranger's house and they engage in a passionate affair. However, they are caught in the act by Stranger's jealous ex-partner who threatens to expose their relationship.>
Oh great….muttering under his breath
whispers urgently Stranger, we need to get out of here, now! We can't let them ruin everything we've worked for!
