Secrets of the Flame

My last year of med school, the best year ever because of her--my future changed forever because of her... From the moment I saw her, I knew there was something between us not many people find. Passionate nights, stolen kisses throughout our busy days; she and I had thesame goals--goals that would end the special connection we'd found. Leaving her behind proved to be the hardest thing I'd ever done. Finding her one day in a Seattle hospital, tending to one of my best friends, proved that old flame had never completely gone out. No longer the easygoing, easy-to-love girl I'd known years ago, she'd become guarded. My only question--why?
