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 the

same 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?
