Til’ Death Do us Part

Maddie & Doug met at the Nebraska Medical Center ER, Maddie’s workplace. 

One day, Doug brought in a patient, catching Maddie’s eye as he often did. But this day was different. Doug proved his manliness by standing up to a patient that attempted to assault him after assaulting his own wife. The patient was a true ass hole. He tried to hit the nurses & yelled obscenities at every woman that walked by. It took 4 security guards to hold him down but Doug took him on WWE style 1-1 prior to bringing him into the ER. Maddie knew that Doug was a true hero & a hero that she needed to meet. After months of trying to catch his attention every time he’d bring in a patient, he still never noticed her. But then COVID-19 happened. Maddie’s gym was shut down. She needed a new gym & had heard that Iron Heaven Gym was still open. Maddie joined the next day, exactly one day after Doug had brought her a patient that had crashed his motorcycle. Doug had splinted his leg thinking it may have been broken.

 That day at Iron Heaven Gym, by pure chance, Maddie saw him. It was the hero, the paramedic that she so badly wanted to get to know for the past 6 months. She plotted her plan of attack. “Maybe if I ask him to spot me he’ll recognize me” - she did it. It worked — kinda. He didn’t recognize her but it was the start she needed.

“By the way, that guys leg was actually broken” she said to him after her set on bench. “What?” Said Doug, confused. Maddie thought she ruined her chances by acting a fool. But to her surprise, within minutes of her leaving the gym Doug had found her on social media and added her on every platform. She didn’t even tell him her full name. He was hooked. In the days following the two planned their first official date together: a workout & dinner afterwards. Little did they know, that date was the first day of a long weekend that the two wouldn’t leave each other’s side. The tiny ER nurse & the hero paramedic were soulmates, & they knew it since day one.
