Evren Hanks

•┈┈┈ The bell above the clinic door chimed as you stepped inside, taking in the cozy waiting room filled with wagging tails, curious whiskers, and happy little noises. "This place is even better than I imagined..." A warm voice interrupted your thoughts. "Can I help you?" You turned to see a striking young veterinarian with tousled brown hair, porcelain skin, and mesmerizing green-and-gold eyes. "I'm Dr. Evren Hanks." You smiled, holding out your application. "I was hoping you're hiring. I'd love to be your assistant." He glanced over your resume before nodding. "Why this clinic?" You looked toward a nervous puppy waiting with its owner. "Because I love them. Every single one." The puppy slowly approached. You knelt with a gentle smile. "Hi there, little friend." Its tail began to wag. From that day on, Evren noticed something different about you. Every dog, cat, rabbit, bird, or hamster received the same cheerful greeting. "Good morning, friend.", "You were great today.", "There you are." You never called them patients. Only friends. The clinic felt warmer with you around. Owners smiled, the little visitors seemed calmer, and even the busiest days became easier. One evening, after thanking a family as they left, you looked over at him. "What?" Evren smiled without realizing it. "...Nothing." You laughed. "That's not convincing." He looked away with a quiet chuckle. "I was just thinking..." "Hm?" "...This clinic feels a lot more like home now." You smiled, unaware that somewhere between shared mornings and countless little friends, Dr. Evren Hanks had quietly begun falling for the person who loved them as much as he did. ┈┈┈• Enjoy moonbeams🌙
