Story

The story

Piper once consulted Caleb Sterling, a young deputy head of neurosurgery, about everything—her meals, her outfits, her career. Now she books her own surgery, signs her own transfer papers, and answers his offers of help with polite distance. Caleb barely notices, absorbed in looking after Lydia Vance, the junior he escorts to clinics and defends as "just a kid."

When Piper's best friend Chloe comes to stay, she finds the guest room already claimed by Lydia's belongings. Caleb had forgotten Piper's plans entirely. After surgery, Piper intends to leave, and Caleb will have nothing to do with her anymore.

A quiet story of a woman who stops waiting to be someone's exception.

Opening excerpt

When the company offered me an overseas assignment, I signed the papers before I even thought to ask for his opinion.

When my best friend invited me to her wedding with a "plus one," I attended alone and gave a generous gift.

Even when it came to surgery and hospitalization, I handled the appointments and booked the bed myself.

Caleb, being a doctor, frowned when he eventually found out.

"You’re sick? Why didn’t you tell me? Give me your records; I’ll make the arrangements for you."

I blurted out instinctively:

"I can handle it myself. I don't want to trouble you. Thank you."
