Torn.
Zoe had just finished a very long shift when there was a knock at the door of her office. 'Come in' Zoe asked removing her stethoscope from around her neck, as the door opened and it revealed Iain. 'Iain what can I do for you?' Zoe asked placing her stethoscope down. 'I was hoping to tempt you for a drink' Iain offered.
'Iain are you asking me out?' Zoe asked. Iain nodded. 'So Drink?' Iain asked. 'Okay you've twisted my arm' Zoe said and they both left her office, they headed down the stairs and passed reception and out of the ED.
'So where shall we go for this drink' Zoe asked Iain. 'I'm not fussed, what about you?' Iain asked. 'Well I know this small fancy restaurant that's not long opened if you would want to go there' Zoe suggested.
'Blimey food and a drink anyone would think we were on a date' Iain joked as they headed into the restaurant, unbeknown to them though this restaurant was the place where Sam and Tom had booked to enjoy they're 'Date Night'. As Zoe picked up the menu from the table and so did Iain the door opened to the restaurant and it revealed Sam and Tom.
Zoe looked at Iain and his expression looked as if he were surprised as well to see Sam and Tom together.' Zoë? Iain?' was Sam's response when she saw her ex and boss sitting around a table. She really couldn't believe what she was seeing.
'Didn't know you and Tom came here' Iain said looking at Sam. 'What are you doing Iain?' was all Sam could manage.
'We're simply out for dinner,' said Iain, Sam looked at Zoe thought. Part of her felt jealous the other fury. 'How could you Zoe? First Dylan now Iain do you like to pick up scraps from other peoples relationships' Sam asked.
'Sam, that's a little out of order. And if I would like to take Zoe out then I can, what's it to you anyway you're all loved up with Tom so why should whoever I see bother you' Iain asked. Zoe looked at Iain surprised, hadn't they agreed that it wasn't a date.
'Come on Tom, we're leaving' Sam said taking Tom's hand and leaving the restaurant, the door closed behind her. 'Well that went well' Zoe commented. '
'Tell me about it' Iain said. 'So I didn't know you and Sam went out' Zoe said. 'We didn't, not really we were in the army together and I'm the reason why Sam and Dylan's marriage ended. Because she had an affair with me. Also because she shot a man' Iain explained.
'But it's all over now between you and Sam?' Zoe asked. Iain nodded 'that was a long time ago' Iain said.
'Good' Zoe couldn't help the smile that crept to her lips.
'Why are you smiling Doctor Hanna?' Iain asked.
'Well I would like to do this again, a proper date that is' Zoe told him, and Iain smiled.
He did actually like Doctor Hanna. But he was still hell bent on splitting Sam and Tom up.
