Sam woke up to see that her husband was right there next to her. She had fallen asleep in his arms the night before. Even though it had been a long time since they had got married Sam still couldn't quite believe her luck. He was good for Sam there was no denying it, everyone in the ED could see it. Even Dylan had to admit that she was happier with Tom than she had ever been before.
Sam watched her husband sleep. She couldn't bring herself to wake him, he just looked to peaceful. Tom had always been there for Sam, that's what she loved most about him. In Sam's eyes he was the perfect gentleman. He often got referred to as the friendly giant. Sam loved the way she could just bury herself in his chest it made their relationship perfect. A lot of the girls in the ED were jealous of them because it was obvious when he looked at her how in love they were.
As Sam laid there watching Tom she knew how wrong it was that she was keeping a secret from him. She knew that at some point she would have to tell him she just couldn't bring herself to do it. She also knew that with Dylan back in the ED the truth would have to come out sooner or later because if she kept having hushed conversations with Dylan in cupboards someone would notice that there was something going on especially with the way gossip spreads around the ED like wild fire. Sam knew her secret would break Tom but she had to tell him and today was that day.
Zoe had a similar wake up looking at the sleeping Max next to her. She knew that Max needed to know her secret but again she just couldn't bring herself to say it out load. That would mean facing it that would make it true. Max was blissfully unaware of what was running through his girlfriend's head when he awoke. He told her that she was beautiful as he did every morning that they awoke.
Zoe couldn't believe how much her luck had changed when she met max and now she just didn't want it to end. Their relationship started how many of the ED romances did it was a bit of fun, noting serious then suddenly all that changed. Zoe didn't know how she just knew that it was what she wanted, Max was what she wanted. She knew what she had to tell him would change his life forever if he didn't leave her after she told him.
It had only been a few weeks since they had told the ED staff of their relationship. People seemed genuinely shocked that Zoe, consultant, could go for someone like Max, Porter. Zoe knew that Max loved her there was no doubt in her mind about that. Anyone with eyes could see that he was the one for her, he was the only one for her and to them age, money nor title mattered. Zoe was serious about their relationship because she had told her parents. Whenever she had a fling with a guy in the past the only one to ever know was Tess. Well Tess was and always had been one of her best friends there was no one else she would want to tell. Now Max was the one, she didn't want to tell him her secret but she knew that today was the day.
Robyn had also woken next to the love of her life that morning. Lofty was there so peaceful. Lofty had that baby face that made Robyn feel like she was the luckiest girl in the world. After Jamie left there was a hole in Robyn's heart. She never fancied Jamie, after all he was gay, she loved him as a friend it had felt like her heart had been ripped in two when he left.
Whether or not Lofty had realised it he was the one that had fixed that rip. He somehow filled that hole. Of course when they originally met it was not the conventional way but somehow Robyn immediately took a shine to the nurse. Max had known that they both fancied each other before they had realised it themselves. Before Lofty had met Robyn he had always been a lonely guy. But unlike the other guys that Robyn had dated Lofty understood her.
It broke Robyn's heart once again to hide something from Lofty. She knew that he would be mortified if he realised she felt like she had to hide things from him. The truth scared her so much and the one person she always talked to was the one person she couldn't tell even though she was desperate. Lofty was beginning to stir as Robyn felt a tear begin to fall down her cheek. Robyn got up she defiantly could not let Lofty see her but she knew that today was the day.
Lily also woke up to see her boyfriend laid next to her. Ethan also looked perfect. His flawless skin glowed with the sunlight flashing across him. Lily knew in that moment that she would never be able let him go. She looked over Ethan and towards the alarm clock; she saw that it was almost time for it to go off so she thought that she would leave him sleeping.
No one at the ED knew of their relationship. It wasn't like the couple had anything to hide they just didn't want to be subject to any of that infamous ED gossip generally passed around by the nurses. Much like the other women Lily had a secret she was hiding from her man. She wasn't sure how Ethan would take the news whether it was good or bad she would know soon enough.
Soon the alarm that Ethan had set went off. Ethan stirred as Lily clambered over him to turn it off. To Ethan Lily was the most beautiful woman in the ED. He absolutely loved Lily. Lily knew that today was going to be the day the she and Ethan would tell the rest of the ED staff of their relationship. She was excited and scared as that would mean that she had to tell Ethan the truth as she got up that was the moment that she realised today was the day.
