Summary
“You don’t have to keep booking me through the website. Take my number, and…” Cassie explains, tongue slipping between her teeth as she writes the number down, “call whenever.”
Dana snorts dryly, a matter of instinct. “That’s a little facetious, don’t you think? 'Whenever'?”
“Eh, business is kinda quiet at the minute. If I’m with my kid, I won’t answer, but if I’m not… I’m all yours.”
It’s such a simple assertion. 'I’m all yours', as if Dana matters to this woman; as if she’s anything more than a paycheck.
She knows she isn’t, but it still warms her in a funny way.

Summary
Dr Cassie McKay slowly approached her 10th year of sobriety, but she felt her mental health slowly deteriorating and the cravings returning. After a particularly triggering shift, something snapped and she found herself on the edge of a relapse. Despite their relationship being strictly friendly coworkers (who secretly have feelings for each other that they've hidden for years), she called Dana Evans in the middle of the night to intervene. Dana was able to save Cassie from her worst impulses, and it changed everything between the two.
Cassie and Dana try to figure out what their relationship means through recovery, mental health crises, and learning to be who you really are later in life.
