    Summary

    Trinity is determined to dislike Baran Al Hashimi. Al Hashimi is determined to make Santos feel safe and supported at work. Neither of them is prepared for the freight train of feelings barreling toward them.

    It's a slow burn folks, buckle up for the long haul. I'll try my best to make it worthwhile.

    Summary

    After her father’s sudden death, Trinity returns to her childhood home in Boulder, Colorado; a place of manicured lawns, suppressed trauma, and the conservative family she has long kept at arm’s length. Yolanda accompanies but only after agreeing to Trinity's terms that they pose as friends, forcing their long-term relationship to become a secret. What begins as a brief trip to organize a funeral stretches into an indefinite stay when Trinity’s brothers guilt her into staying behind to care for their mother. As the days turn into weeks, Yolanda remains at Trinity’s side, but their relationship begins to feel the effects of being tucked away for too long. As Trinity's ghosts from Boulder grow increasingly relentless, she and Yolanda must confront whether their relationship can survive the turbulence, or if they should have abandoned ship long ago.

    or

    Trinity brings Yolanda to her childhood home with the requirement that they hide their relationship from her conservative family. The ramifications of that choice quickly make themselves clear as their relationship is challenged.

    It's "Happiest Season" but in the summer, with a death in the family, a (somewhat) healthier relationship, and no Aubrey Plaza.

    Summary

    A month after a brutal Fourth of July shift and a quiet fallout with Garcia, Trinity Santos does what she does best, throws herself into work and tries not to think about anything else.

    Then a burn patient with dark red hair and an easy smile walks into her ER.

    At first, the flirting feels harmless. The chance encounters feel like coincidence.

    The problem is… she keeps showing up.

    Summary

    "What she meant to say was, “Goodnight”, yet in her haze, “What are we?” tumbled from Trinity’s lips"

    Santos and Garcia have gone a month without speaking, narrowly avoiding each other around the hospital after Trinity accidentally let her true feelings for Garcia slip. Will this change with the introduction of a visiting doctor who seems to have a soft spot for Santos? Will these two idiots finally learn how to communicate?

    Or: Yolanda Garcia learns what jealousy is.
