The Patient: A Romance Short Story

When Kevin was seventeen, he fell in love with Everly, a girl from his high school that was way too out of his league. And for her, Kevin changed. He stopped getting into fights. He studied harder, became an A student, and tried to become the best man he could possibly be for her. Only, when he finally got the nerve to ask her out on a date, she didn’t show up to school, and he discovered that Everly and her parents had moved away to Dublin.

Fourteen years later, Kevin is a busy neurosurgeon. Despite all his efforts, he can’t forget about Everly. One day, he is asked to consult a patient with a unique brain tumor, and he realizes that the patient is Everly. After all these years, she has returned.

Does Everly still remember him? Will Kevin go out of his way to treat the girl of his dreams back to health and into his life?
