For Dr Zoe Hanna life had been going pretty well at the moment. She had a boyfriend (yes a boyfriend) something which she constantly reminded herself that was stupid at her age. But nether the less she was happy. For the first time since Linda had left she was truly happy. It was something about max she just couldn't help but adore. Although she found it hard to express her feelings he knew how much he meant to her.

It was an average day in holby, well as average as it gets in Holby city's ED, Zoe and Max strolled into the ED to be greeted by two of Holby's finest receptionists, Noel and Louise. "Morning Dr Hanna, there's some post for you here and a consultant from paediatrics wanted to speak to you Dr... Um..." Noel struggled to remember the name

"Daniels?" Zoe questioned

"Ahhh that was it I knew it began with a d!" Noel grinned seeming pleased with himself

"No rest for the wicked eh?" Max interrupted

"Certainly not this witch." Zoe complained gazing through her post as her and Max walked towards connies office.

"Ahh Dr Hanna a word in my office in 5?" Connie asked, although it was more of a demand

"Yes mam." Zoe sarcastically replied

"Excuse me?" Connie said wearily, only now that Zoe had looked up did she notice the state of her boss, she had dark circles under her eyes, her hair looked scruffy and she just looked like she had thrown on the first thing she saw.

"Err sorry of course." Zoe snapped out of her thoughts

"I better get going seeing as you've got all of your busy doctors stuff to do." Max smiled as he headed off to the staff room.

"Oh and Zoe?" He called as Zoe turned towards him

"Mhmmm?" She raised an eyebrow

"Your not a witch, well if you were you'd be the good witch of the North." Max tried to compliment her

"Doesn't she get killed?" Zoe tried to stop herself from smiling

"Well... Err, I better go do my trolley pushing thingy." Max said as he practically sprinted towards the staff room.

Zoe stared after him with that same smile she had every time he did his max thing. She wasn't entirely sure how to explain it he just had this thing that she couldn't help but love.

Ah yes that word... Now she hadn't actually said it to him yet and she wasn't sure when she would. He had said it a couple of times but Zoe seemed to get hurt every time she even thought about the word so she tried to avoid it with all the power invested in herself.

She wondered towards her bosses office. She could clearly see there was something wrong with her just by the way she didn't exude arrogance this morning

She knocked once and then barged in, in typical Zoe style.

"You wanted to speak to me?" Zoe almost whispered. For some reason she felt obliged not to raise her voice in here something about the state of connie and mixed with the state of her office. Usually immaculate but on this occasion anything but.

"Yes well I'm resigning." Connie looked up from the ever growing pile of paper work she usually handled so well with a look of near guilt.

"Sorry, what!" Zoe had her mouth open so wide that if she wasn't careful she would be catching flies soon enough.

"Come on, you fought me so hard for this job and your just gonna give it all up!" Zoe raised her voice by a considerable amount well aware of the fact that a crowd of staff had gathered outside the office.

"Well it's just not for me anymore." Connie replied still as calm and quiet as before. Behind the pathetic excuse was another reason Zoe could see it with her bare eyes.

"Oh this job was made for you Connie Beauchamp don't give me that!" Zoe wasn't sure why this angered her so much, I mean it's not like she had any ammunition to gain the job back, she resented everything about it so why care.

"Okay, okay I'm sorry I won't pry but who's taking over because if you want me to take over you have another..." Zoe began to fight her corner although no fight was needed as the opponent was not putting up an argument.

"I've held interviews already Dr Hanna don't you worry someone is starting today I'm only still here to show them the ropes. Although I thought I owed you an explanation first but you coming in here all guns blazing has persuaded me otherwise." Connie finally rose her voice which made Zoe smile and connies confused look made her grin widen.

"That's more like it, well I hope you have a nice life Connie." Zoe nodded her head and left the office leaving Connie to brood through her last thoughts as clinical lead.
