She Walks In Beauty...
I know Valentine's Day is long gone, but here is a quick little fluffy VDay Connie/Sam fic x
Chapter 1: All those Valentines
It was Valentine's Day in Holby City.
And Connie Beauchamp was pissed.
Wasn't much of a change really.
She had a crappy day arguing with Michael over the phone.
He wanted to get back with her, but she had had enough of his lothario ways.
Today would start the life of the new Connie Beauchamp.
The Connie Beauchamp who didn't need a man in her life to feel complete.
She went into her office to find a pile of envelopes on her desk.
Great, she thought, more valentines.
Like it was already enough she had to get one from her ex, she had at least 5 more.
Sighing, she opened the first one.
To my favourite one night stand,
Happy Valentine's Day
I know you'll get lots, but who am I to break with tradition.
Have a Good One.
Love Ric.
Connie laughed. She and Ric had this demented ritual, ever since her first day, when they shared that experience in his office. She started it, she sent him a valentine's day card to freak him out. They always addressed their card to 'Their Favourite One Night Stand'. Every year for 5 years. She smiled at the nostalgia.
She opened the next one. She recognised the handwriting.
To my dearest friend,
I know you'll get loads of Valentine's Day cards, but here's one from little old me.
Love Elliot.
She smiled again. He was so sweet.
Connie picked up her coffee and sipped it whilst opening the next card. As she read it, she spat out her coffee all over her desk in laughter.
Dear Connie,
Happy Valentine's Day.
You gave me the night of my life and you'll always be close to my heart.
I hope you're all doing well, and you're not in too much trouble without me.
Love Chris.
She could not control herself laughing. It was just too funny.
She had slept with her former boss, Chris Sutherland, Jayne's predecessor, just once, because Darwin urgently needed a new scanner. Since then, he'd gotten a little weird.
After calming down, she opened the next one.
Dear Connie,
Ever since I met you at the charity function that went very wrong, I'd admired you and found you amazingly attractive. I couldn't believe my luck that I got to come back and work with you.
Happy Valentine's Day from your not so secret admirer.
Phillip Lawler.
Oh My God, thought Connie.
I thought he was treating me differently.
Closest crusher, how sweet.
There was one more card left. She opened it.
Here's a Valentine's Card from you,
Connie Beauchamp, sexy, confident, but insecure,
From someone who adores you,
And hopes when you find them, you'll be sure.
So follow my rhyme,
And in no time,
You'll find me,
And you'll see.
So after clue number 4,
You'll find me and find out more,
So...clue number 1...
3 more after one and it will be done.
Our first kiss was here,
A memory I hold dear
Use the clues to find where I am,
Yours forever, Sam.
Connie beamed.
