@lingling_00k1: ### When Jobs Comes First ### Anniversary Special — “Stay Close to Me, Darling” 3:30 p.m. — Their Anniversary Date Ling had planned everything perfectly. A quiet riverside restaurant, a private table, flowers, and absolutely no hospital calls unless there was a genuine emergency. But she had forgotten one thing. Orm was determined to cling to her for the entire date. “Linggg,” Orm whined as they walked from the car. “What is it, darling?” “Hold my hand.” Ling looked down at their already-intertwined fingers. “I am holding your hand.” “Hold it tighter.” Ling smiled and squeezed her hand. “Like this?” Orm nodded happily. “And stay beside me.” “I'm right here.” “And don't walk too fast.” Ling stopped walking altogether. Orm nearly bumped into her. “What are you doing?” “Waiting for my very demanding wife.” Orm giggled, and Ling leaned down to kiss her forehead. “Happy now?” “Almost.” Ling kissed her cheek. “Now?” Orm pointed to her lips. Ling laughed softly before giving her a gentle kiss. “There. Let's go before our reservation disappears.” Orm followed her with the biggest smile on her face. ### The Protective Wife As they entered the restaurant, a few people recognised them. One person lifted a phone, and another began approaching their table. Ling noticed immediately. Without making a scene, she guided Orm toward the quieter side of the restaurant, keeping their hands linked. “Are you okay?” Ling asked softly. Orm nodded, although her fingers tightened around Ling's. “Just a little nervous.” Ling's expression softened. “We can leave whenever you want. We don't owe anyone our time.” “But you planned this whole date.” “I planned it for you, darling. If you don't feel comfortable, we'll go somewhere else.” Orm looked at her for a moment before leaning into her side. “I want to stay. With you.” “Then we'll stay.” Ling spoke discreetly to the restaurant manager, who arranged a little more privacy for them. She made sure Orm was comfortable before pulling out her chair. Orm looked up at her. “You're so protective.” “Someone has to be. You nearly walked into a glass door earlier.” “THAT WAS ONE TIME!” “Twice.” “Ling!” Ling laughed and kissed her cheek. “I'm teasing, darling.” Orm caught the front of Ling's jacket and pulled her down for another kiss. Ling blinked afterward. “Oh? Someone's affectionate today.” “I'm celebrating my anniversary.” “Of course.” “Now kiss me again.” Ling smiled and obliged with another soft kiss, then brushed her thumb over Orm's cheek. “My beautiful wife.” Orm immediately turned pink. “You can't just say things like that!” “Why not? They're true.” Orm hid her face against Ling's shoulder. Ling wrapped an arm around her and kissed the top of her head. For the rest of the date, Ling kept finding little excuses to show affection: a kiss on Orm's forehead when she laughed, a kiss on her cheek when she stole food from Ling's plate, and a gentle kiss on her hand whenever Orm reached for hers. By dessert, Orm was practically glowing. “You've kissed me at least twenty times.” Ling considered this. “Not enough.” Orm's mouth fell open. “LING KWONG!” “What? I'm making up for all the hours I spend at work.” Orm couldn't even argue with that. Instead, she leaned over and kissed her wife herself. ### 8:45 p.m. — Home, Finally After collecting Lily from Mae Koy and settling her into her cot for the night, Ling and Orm finally had their apartment to themselves. Orm changed into comfortable pyjamas and curled up on the sofa. Ling emerged from the bedroom, took one look at her wife, and smiled. “Move over.” Orm shifted to make room. But instead of sitting beside her, Ling settled sideways onto Orm's lap, wrapping her arms around her shoulders. Orm froze. Then she looked down at Ling. “Excuse me?” Ling rested her chin on Orm's shoulder. “What?” “I'm usually the clingy one!” “It's our anniversary. I'm allowed to change the rules.” Orm started laughing and wrapped her arms around Ling's waist to keep her steady. “You're heavy.” Ling immediately lifted her head. “Excuse me, Nurse Orm?” Orm burst out laughing. “I'M KIDDING!
