Zoe Hanna was feeling particularly frazzled. With Connie imprisoned, for now at least, she had been asked to be Acting Clinical Lead again.
"Zoe, you'll never guess who Robyn fancies!" Max burst into his girlfriend's office.
"Max! I haven't got time for this right now! Can you please go away?" Zoe yelled. Max looked rather hurt, and left.
Zoe put her head in her hands. She didn't mean to snap at Max.
She finished her paperwork, and went out of her office.
"Robyn, d'you know where Max is?" Zoe asked the nurse.
"No, sorry." Robyn apologised, before handing Zoe some patient notes.
"Where are you? I'm sorry for snapping. Z x" she texted Max.
"I'm in our cupboard. M x" he replied.
Zoe made the familiar way up to the cupboard, or Max's "office", as he called it.
She knocked at the door.
"Hello" she smiled as she saw Max sitting on the chair.
She sat down on the table next to him.
"Listen, I'm sorry for snapping at you." Zoe said quietly.
"It's fine." Max smiled at her.
Zoe smiled too and sat on his lap. He kissed her gently.
"Max, listen" Zoe mumbled against Max's lips, before the kiss got too heated.
"Zoe..." Max protested.
"Listen!" Zoe insisted, wriggling around in order to sit up. She looked him straight in the eyes.
"Listen Max, I'm scared." She admitted a tear rolling down her cheek.
"How?"
"Well, the last time I was CL, I lost you. I became too stressed, and-" Max cut her off gently by placing a finger on her lips.
"Listen. Number one, first time around we were just messing about, we're together properly now. And secondly, Connie won't be in prison forever, I highly doubt that she purposely killed Alfred. and three, I am here for you." He reassured her.
Zoe sighed. "I know. As I said, a couple of weeks ago, it's been ages since I've been in anything which resembles a normal relationship."
"I know." Max said, pulling her close.
She leant her head on his chest. "I-I love you Max."
"That's the first time you've ever said that to me. And I love you too." Max smiled.
"I know." Zoe said.
Max begin to kiss her.
"Er, Max..." Zoe said.
"Zoe, come on" Max answered, a teasing note in his voice.
"A), close the door, and B), tell me who Robyn fancies. I'm not completely disinterested in gossip these days!" The Clinical Lead, for now anyway, replied.
