I'm not sure you could call these chapters one shots...I think they make sense together or as individual stories.
Hope you enjoy this first one...it's not my usual style...
Some chapters are quite short...

There was a strained atmosphere between Connie and Jacob, there was no doubt about it. Anyone who happened to end up in the same room as them could feel the sexual tension.
Longing glances, small shy smiles and passing snippets of banter that left them both grinning on the inside followed by an uncomfortable silence. They had so much to talk about but neither willing to be the one to step up, neither willing to admit what they were both thinking...that they each missed the other.
The weeks after their separation drew on, a glance became a gaze that would follow the other around the E.D as they went about their work. The smiles they shared were no longer shy. Banter became more frequent leaving them grinning on the outside for all to see. No more uncomfortable pauses in conversation, things were becoming easier, friendly and for brief moments they could forget they'd ever parted ways.
With every passing day they became closer, the effort needed to stay apart was to great, they were drifting back together. There was no denying Connie and Jacob fit together...perfect for each other and nobody else.
It felt natural, it felt good to spend time together, to sit and talk over lunch about everything and nothing, hopes...fears...the past and present...the future.
To playfully tease each other...to flirt...it was all there...just like before.
