This is an idea I had about Zoe and ash getting together, it contains a bit about Zoe and Connie rivalry but it is mainly about zash so please R&RJ
Zoe walked down the steps and into the ED's reception, it had been a long day and zoe was exhausted, she just wanted to go home, have and drink of wine and go for an early night but that all changed when ash came walking over to her.
"I need to talk to you" said ash who was hinting to Zoe that it was about his resignation
"Sure" said Zoe smiling
Zoe and ash decided to walk and talk as the ED staff would find it suspicious if they suddenly stopped and had a full conversation in the middle of the ED.
"Let me guess" said Zoe looking at ash and smiling "it's about your resignation"
Ash stopped and looked at Zoe before continuing walking with her.
"Have you been talking to Connie?" said ash
Even the mansion of that woman's name made Zoe's blood boil.
"No" said Zoe calmly but sharply
"Anyway, I was wondering…." Began ash
"If I could unhand it in?" said Zoe smiling and looking at ash
Zoe was more hoping that ash was going to say that, as ash was one of her best friends, they were close but it still baffled zoe how she hadn't ruined another friendship by a drunken mistake.
"Yes" said ash to Zoe's surprise "could you do that?"
A smile escaped Zoe's lips, a smile that she wouldn't let anyone see, not even ash.
Zoe laughed slightly remembering how she had shredded ash's letter when he had first given it too her as there was no way that she was going to let her friend and one of her finest consultants go without a fight and for zoe that was making sure that he had a reason to stay at holby.
"What?" said ash "is that a problem?"
"No...No" said Zoe shaking her head and smiling
"It's just…I never handed it in" said Zoe, who laughed as she said it
"Oh" Said ash who stopped and smiled looking at Zoe "but…."
"But, what?" said Zoe who suddenly stopped laughing and turned serious
"We are a good team" said ash to Zoe shaking his head and smiling while admiring zoe's beauty
"Yea" said Zoe who hinted ash to continue
"Well we need to stop letting ourselves be played" said ash who's gaze was straight through Zoe's office window and at Connie who was flicking through some paperwork
"I see" said Zoe following ash's gaze
This gave Zoe another reason to hate Connie, which Zoe wasn't short of.
Connie had tried to separate Zoe and ash and the penny had finally dropped, Connie told ash about Zoe's so called incompetence only because she knew that ash was one of those people that would have to have it out with Zoe as he cared so much about the job.
Then when Connie caught Zoe complaining about ash questioning her, she told Zoe that she was ash's boss and he shouldn't be undermining her, then she tried to tell Zoe that she had done the right thing.
To Connie this was just a game, she only persuaded ash to stay so that she could have another person on her side, well that's what she thought but she had actually added another consultant to team Zoe which was now overtaking her on the leader board.
