Chapter 1
Neela walked into the café opposite the hospital and ordered a coffee. She was exhausted from the night shift she had just pulled and was looking forward to going home and crashing.
She was just about to leave when she heard someone call her name. Turning around she saw Abby waving to her from a booth in the corner. Smiling, Neela walked on over to her friend. She hadn't seen much of Abby lately and was looking forward to catching up with her.
'Hey, what are you doing here?' Neela asked as she sat down opposite her fellow County co-worker.
'Hi Neela, it's good to see you. I was just getting a coffee before my shift started.' Abby smiled at her friend. 'How are you doing, I feel like we haven't chatted for ages.'
'That's because we probably haven't since you're just too busy with your boyfriend and all' Neela said with a laugh. She shook her head before continuing. 'I still can't believe you're going out with Ray Barnett.'
'What can I say, I have a thing for doctors slash rockers' Abby said with a smirk. Noticing Neela's look of annoyance she just chuckled. 'We can't help who we're attracted to Neela, we just are. Will you please try and be happy for me?'
'I'll try but I'm not promising anything.'
'That's all I ask. Anyway I better go, don't want Weaver on my case.'
'Talk to you later' Neela called as Abby left the café.
