"Zoe what's this for?" Sam questioned as Zoe handed over the keys to her office. Just like Nick had done over three months ago with her.
"Keys to the office... It's yours if you want it" She told her "If not give them to Henry" Zoe was rushing around packing all of her belongings from inside the office away into a box. It was beginning to look empty now. It was never really going to be her office no matter how many shoes and scatter cushions she filled it with... it was always going to be Nick's.
"You're leaving?" Sam questioned the obvious as she watched her pack everything away. She didn't quite understand why Zoe was going and so sudden.
"Yeah I just can't do this anymore Sam, there's nothing here for me"
"You're career"
"I'll always have my career, just not in Holby. It's time for me to move on"
"Where are you going to go?" Sam asked.
"Michigan"
"Michigan" Sam repeated. "Isn't that where Mr Jordan..."
"Yeah" Zoe interrupted "thought I'd pay him a visit"
"Pay him a visit? Zoe I know that you two have a past but giving up your life here to go and see him isn't the best idea. Just think about it"
"I have and I'm going. Now if you don't mind im going to go say my goodbyes else I'll miss the flight" Zoe stood in front of Sam, box in her hand waiting for her to move out the way and let her out of the office.
Sam moved out of the way and soon followed Zoe out of the office and into the busy E.D. A lot of their colleagues were gathered around the nurses' station so Zoe gathered that this was her chance to say a quick final goodbye.
"Right can I have everyone's attention please" Zoe called in an authoritive voice and everybody turned to look at her.
"Well as you can probably see from my box, I am leaving" she informed them. Everyone stood in complete silence not knowing what to say. Nobody ever expected Dr Hanna to leave, especially not yet.
"Im not really good with teary goodbyes" She continued. "So look after the place, I'll keep in touch and will hopefully come and visit you all once im settled"
Zoe went around saying goodbye and hugging each and every one of her colleagues. She then made her way out of the ED doors for the last time. This was really it she thought, she was really leaving. Leaving behind so many memories, but she knew that she had to do this, she couldn't stay here without him any longer.
"Zoe" Tess called after her, running across the car park to catch her up.
"Its Nick isn't it" Tess said, but the look on Zoe's face said it all. She hadn't been the same since the day Nick left and everybody could see that.
"I love him Tess" Zoe admitted. "I can't stay here without him" she told her as tears began to stream down her face.
Tess wrapped her arms around Zoe to comfort her as she placed her box on the floor. "I know sweetie but just be careful yeah he's only just lost Yvonne" She advised, rubbing her hand up and down Zoe's back for comfort, as if she was her mother.
"That's why I need to go, he needs me more than ever now" Zoe told her, pulling away from their hug.
"Look after him and promise you'll both come back and visit" Tess asked with her hand on Zoe's shoulder.
"I promise" Zoe smiled, quickly wrapping her arms back around Tess who had now begun to cry. She let go and smiled in reassurance to let her know that she was going to be OK, picked up her box from the floor and unlocked her car. She climbed in and glanced out of the window, flashing Tess a quick smile, who raised her hand to wave goodbye as Zoe quickly sped off out of the car park.
