## Plot

In the House of Light Children's Oncology and Medical Center, Nash looks at a photo of Mia and herself on her phone before being interrupted by a coworker named Lyn who informs her that volunteers from the St. Catherine Foundation have arrived at the center. She tells Nash that one of the doctors wants her to audit the incoming supplies and asks if she's busy. Nash replies that she isn't and promises to start the task. Lyn then introduces the topic of the House of Light's thanksgiving fundraiser and asks if they should attempt to invite the owner of the St. Catherine Foundation, but Nash dismisses the idea on account of them never showing up, further explaining that they don't want their name or the company's name mentioned in any of their contributions. Lyn notes the strange behavior and wonders if the owner is an atoning crime lord, but is interrupted by several other nurses entering the room and urging Lyn to go see a volunteer that she has a crush on. Nash asks if they're talking about a tall man with a ponytail, and when the nurses confirm that, she shouts for "Ian" to come in and say hello to the nurses. Eros enters as the nurses reprimand Nash for her rash behavior, revealing that he is the one she calls Ian. He briefly greets Nash and asks if she's done bullying the interns. Nash snickers at his joke.

Eros spends the day helping out at the hospital, mostly with custodial duties, until he notices Nash smoking and crying by herself. He enters the room, causing Nash to admonish him for entering a staff-only area. Eros ignores her and asks why she's alone. Nash insists that she's fine and the two of them stand in silence for a moment before Eros again inquires if she's okay. Nash gives in and admits that her job can be hard, but refuses to go into detail on the subject, instead saying she simply needs a break. This causes her to ask about when Eros takes a break, explaining that it's unusual to see a volunteer as dedicated as he is and insinuating that he's attempting to compensate for something. Eros says he simply likes volunteering and warns Nash not to be cynical, but Nash argues that he always looks like he's working a job. She goes on to say that she's not upset with volunteers for not coming by the hospital often since they have their own lives, but that Eros volunteers as if he has an obligation to. She ends her statement by saying that he doesn't have to try so hard. Eros laughs and thanks Nash for her consideration, but claims that he's not a martyr. He tells her that love makes the world go round, so he must give love in order to receive love and that he expects his efforts to be compensated. Nash is initially put off by his explanation, but laughs it off, insisting that "life isn't a reward voucher."  Nash thinks to herself that he seems to be lying and telling the truth at the same time, then point-blank asks Eros if something is wrong with him. Eros feigns ignorance, but Nash says that his type is always hiding something. When Eros asks what type she means, Nash blushes and apologizes for her rudeness, explaining that she's usually interested in problematic men. She slowly realizes her confession and is quick to deny that she has feelings for Eros, but he teases her to make her admit that she likes him but isn't looking for a relationship. Eros teases her again as Nash curses herself out before Eros makes airs about leaving her alone. As Nash tries to stop him, Eros asks if she still wants to know what's wrong with him as he backs her up against a wall.
