'Morning' she said smiling. He loved that beautiful voice.'Morning' he replied.'Nurse McKaig a word please'. 'Yes matron'.She smiled and they walked to matrons office.
'Nurse McKaig a new nurse will be joining us i would like you to look after her as she will be sharing your room'.'But'she protested.'Marian i know that after stella's death you may want to keep it how it is for a while until things have settled down and normally i would let you but im afraid there is no where else the new nurse can stay'. Matron saw the look in her eyes she really wished there was something she could do but her hands were tied.'Yes Matron' marian replied close to tears.'Dissmissed nurse' 'Thank you matron'. Marian ran out the door ,past nick and into the store followed her. 'marian' 'Dont touch me' 'hey whats wrong' Nick asked concerned. 'Matron wamts the new nurse to move in to my room and she wants her to replace stella but' 'Marian stellas gone you will have to let go sometime' 'I dont want to' 'No one wants to' he said sitting beside her and placing a kiss in her hair. 'I have a call would you like to come?'He asked. 'Yes please' she sniffed.
They got in the car and started to drive. 'Damn this traffic i know a shortcut'. he said as he pulled out. They were halfway down the road when marian whimpered.'hey' he looked out the window and saw where they were' oh marian im sorry i should have thought' 'No i want to see it' 'Are you Sure?' He asked as he knew today they were clearing it ,including bodies.
'Please Nick' she begged. 'If you're sure'. he asked. 'I am' she replied getting out of the car. She saw people being dragged out from the pile of rubble that once was an arcade. 'Oh god' She muttered under her breath, her legs felt wobbly. 'Shhhh' he comforted. Marian let him walk her to the car, she didnt want to do anything just sit and cry.'Ill get someone else to take the call' he said. 'Where will they go?' she asked. 'The royal, ashfordly, Scarborough, Leeds'. 'Can we see if stella's there and frankie' 'i dont know if that would be a good idea' he said gently. 'Please' she said tears coming to her eyes. 'Okay' he said reluctantly. 'I need to say goodbye'. She said. 'You will' he said comfortingly. And with that he drove off.
