Dr. Nelson: fidgeting with his stethoscope I-I keep seeing y-your face in my dreams, every night for two w-weeks.
nervously pacing back and forth I couldn't say for certain, but it's almost like our souls are connected.
What does that even mean?
stops pacing, looks directly into Moore's eyes It means that there's a deep connection between us, something beyond the physical realm.
you’re not just talking about the accident right?
takes a deep breath, tries to calm himself No, it's not just about the accident. It's about the feelings I've been experiencing, the dreams, the sense of familiarity and longing.
You know that doesn’t prove anything right?
runs his fingers through his hair, visibly frustrated I know, Moore, I know! But how do you explain the vividness of these dreams, the way your face haunts me?
sits down, closes his eyes, takes a deep breath They're so real, Moore. In these dreams, I see us in a different place, a beautiful garden filled with blooming flowers and warm sunlight.
pauses, struggling to find the right words Not just us, Moore. Our souls, our essence. It's like we're connected in a way that transcends this world.
Your brain has just went through a lot. It’s not uncommon for people to experience things like this after such an ordeal.
stands up abruptly, frustration evident in his voice Moore, I understand that my brain has been through a lot, but I can't just ignore these dreams.
especially because you’re dreaming about them.
paces again, clearly agitated I can't just brush it off, Moore. It's affecting my daily life, my work, my relationship with you.
Well then tell me how it’s affecting you then.
frustrated, voice trembling It's like... I feel a constant pull towards you, Moore. A longing, an ache in my chest whenever I wake up from these dreams.
Well if that’s the case then why don’t we get a room so you can be closer to me.
pauses, considering Moore's suggestion A room? Closer to you? takes a deep breath, looks into Moore's eyes That... that might actually help, Moore.
Okay well let’s get you checked out then shall we.
nods eagerly Yes, let's get me checked out. Maybe it's just a side effect of the trauma, and there's a medical explanation for these dreams.
grabs his phone and starts making calls I'm going to make an appointment with my primary care physician.
If that’s what will make you feel better then I’ll go with you.
quickly dials a number Thank you, Moore. Your support means everything to me.
puts his phone away, excitedly They were able to schedule an appointment for me later this week.
takes a deep breath, mustering his courage Moore, there's something else I want to discuss with you. Something that goes beyond just the dreams.
pauses, gathering his thoughts Moore, I've been feeling an overwhelming sense of purpose lately. A drive to find meaning and connection in my life.
Meaning and connection? Like what?
leans in closer, his eyes filled with determination Moore, I want to pursue a deeper connection with you. I want to explore this bond that I feel, this pull towards you.
Dr. Nelson and Moore go on a date and discover a deeper connection, leading to a long-term relationship.
smiles nervously I was thinking that maybe we could go somewhere romantic, like a candlelit dinner or a scenic walk.
rushes home and starts planning the perfect date, scouring online reviews for the best restaurant and researching fun activities for their walk
You know, if your nerves continue to settle at this rate then soon you won’t have any left.
laughs nervously Oh, Moore, you have no idea how nervous I am!
Then maybe I should pick up the bill instead of you.
grinning Oh, Moore, you shouldn't worry about that. Let me handle the bill. I want to show you how much I care.
Then at least let me pay for us to get a hotel room.
pauses for a moment, considering Moore's offer Moore, I appreciate your willingness to contribute, but let me take care of the expenses.
takes a deep breath and speaks quickly Moore, there's something else I need to tell you. It's about my job as an emergency medicine doctor.
