Prologue.
Hannah stood in front of the boss of her station, she had come here to discuss with him something that she hoped wouldn't disappoint him in any way. 'Hannah, I believe you have something to talk to me about, sit down.' Hannah lowered herself into the chair.
'I do. I like it here, the people are nice and I've been made to feel very welcome, but it is too quiet. I wish to go somewhere that I am able to practice my skills. I hope you are not too disappointed in me, I owe you a lot.'
'Hannah, I was about to suggest the same thing to you. You have a lot of talent, and at the right station you could be sat in an office similar to this one in a few years. This place is too quiet for you, you need somewhere that you can flourish and blossom.'
'Is there anywhere that you would recommend?'
'The Holby team have just had a position become available, one of their technicians has transferred to another station. I worked with them a while ago and I think it might be what you are looking for. You'll get the experience and the practice you need.'
'What are the people like?'
'Very nice and welcoming, I really enjoyed my time there, but I was looking for a slower pace of life. I'm going to call them right now.'
'Okay, do you want me to go while you speak to them?'
'No, stay, I'm not going to say anything that you haven't already heard.' Hannah nodded and watched as David made the call.
Hannah sat silently as David talked to the boss of the Holby team, she blushed as he gave the woman on the other end of the phone a description of her talents. Hannah was certain that he was making her sound better than she actually was. David put the phone down and then looked at Hannah. 'Can you start in two weeks?'
'Two weeks, they want me to work there?'
'They do, you'll even be given some money to help with the relocation costs.'
'I'll do it.'
'Good, don't forget to keep in touch with us all here.'
'As if I would forget, it is because of you I've made it this far, thank you, for everything.'
'You're welcome Hannah.' Hannah smiled at her current boss, this was a chance for her to start over and get away from the things and the people that were holding her back.
Dixie put the phone down, she'd just had an interesting call from her counterpart in North Yorkshire, he had a candidate for the position that Cyd had left. She was hoping that it would have taken a bit longer to fill the position, just in case Cyd wanted to come back, but the woman that he had described sounded like she would be perfect. No matter what her personal feelings were she had to hire someone else, it had been two weeks now and it was obvious that Cyd wasn't coming back. Dixie had tried calling her, but Cyd never picked up the phone, she left Cyd plenty of messages, but she never heard back from her. In the end Dixie had given up, Cyd clearly didn't want anything to do with her now.
The new woman would be here in two weeks, she sounded nice, but, in reality Dixie had been hoping that it would be a man, a man she could handle and there would be no chance of romance. After everything that had happened with Cyd, Dixie couldn't face any more heartbreak, she'd had enough. She knew that Jeff would accuse her of moping about and tell her that she should get back on the dating scene.
Dating was something that Dixie didn't want to get into again, it was safer to stay away as then she wouldn't get hurt. She had told David that she would be glad to have Hannah here, she sounded like a very talented paramedic and someone that would be an asset to the team. Dixie had put her professional head on and told him to arrange the transfer, she just hoped that she was doing the right thing.
