I wish there was more mentions of Nick in Casualty these days, I had heart palpitations when I realised the email was from Nick last night so anyway... Nick and Zoe will be keeping in touch via my e-mail one shot. Hope you like!

NJ:Yes, I know her well and would advise you to be careful, Zoe. While she is, undoubtedly a brilliant surgeon, she is also not to be messed with. I offer this note of caution because I cannot fathom why she may have decided to join the ED, unless it was for her own gain.

Keep in touch.

Nick.

ZH: Well, she's currently swanning around MY ED, like she's already boss. Unfortunately for her I will not be giving up that fight easily. Did I mention she's moved into my office? Then there's the tannoy system - apparently the pagers aren't accountable enough. They won't help my hangovers, I tell you... Anyway, how's life in the States?

Lots of love.

Zo.

NJ: I think it's safe to say she's after your job, please be careful. I don't want her messing with you; it's your ED and you're in charge. Just watch your step. If she's having lunch with Guy, then it's safe to assume you're hot gossip. You're definitely hot, at least ;) Life's ok, not the same as Holby but I can't complain. It's been a year since Yvonne died, it's flown in.

I miss you.

ZH: Bit cheeky, Mr Jordan? I know, how are you coping? I put flowers at her grave before I left for the wedding. Anyway, we have a penetrating chest wound in resus – Connie's loving it. You CT surgeons always were a strange bunch ;) Is there a future Mrs Jordan in the picture? I miss you too, will you be visiting any time soon.

Love you.

Zoe x

NJ: Not strange, Dr Hanna. We just knew where the money was to be made and the glory to be found – besides, you never complained! That's thoughtful, she'd have appreciated it and she always said you were a lovely person. It's a shame you never got to know each other better. How was the wedding, was it a relation? I don't think I will be, you could always come out here if it gets too much for you though? Future Mrs Jordan? I hardly think so. I'm a workaholic. That title was always for you... you know that. I'll always love you Zoe Hanna.

All my love,

Nick x

ZH: Workaholic sounds right. I know, and I just wish I could have given you what you wanted... maybe then I wouldn't have some skinny bitch surgeon trying to steal my job. No, no. No relation – an old school friend. Crap wedding though. The meal was rubbish, her church was freezing and her future father in law came on to me. Does that make you jealous, Mr Jordan? ;) Our wedding would have been much more tasteful! I can't believe it's been over a year since I've seen you; I really do miss you – every single day! I think I might take you up on that offer soon, I'm sure I could leave the ED in the esteemed Mrs Beauchamp's capable hands... she just loves the admin.

Love,

Zoe x

NJ: Not jealous Dr Hanna, fuming. You know the thought of any other man touching you made my blood boil – remember Matt?! I miss you too, more than you'll ever know. I think about you every single day. You know, it's strange... I never could tell anyone how I was feeling but here I am telling you, via email, just how much I miss you. I wish I could take you in my arms right now. You know. On second thoughts, a trip home sounds good I'd like to say hello to Connie myself. I just feel lost without you Zoe, let me know if I can be of any assistance on the 'skinny bitch surgeon' front. I wouldn't worry about the 'skinny' part – your arse drove most men wild. I think we'll be seeing each other very soon.

Love you

Nick.

ZH: Matt never stood a chance against you, Mr Jordan. You always were the one I wanted, I probably think about you more than I should. Even when I'm with other men, you fill my head. I can feel your skin, smell your smell... It's you that I want. Please come home, I'm sure Connie would love to see you. My backside is hardly a suitable topic of conversation now Mr Jordan ;) You never could keep your hands off it for too long though... I need you, Nick. I feel like such a fool telling you all of this but when you told me 'life goes on' I think you were very much mistaken... my life hasn't moved on, I haven't moved on. I still sleep in your shirts, you know? Just so I feel like I have a part of you beside me. I miss you more than you'll ever know.

All my love

Zoe xx

NJ: FLIGHT CONFIRMATION: DETROIT-HOLBY CITY. ARR – 15.00h

Will you be there to pick me up? Maybe then you can show me just how much you've missed me... I was foolish to ever leave you Dr Hanna. When I return I shall make things right, you will be Mrs Jordan – finally. I'll see you tomorrow.

All my love

Nick x

ZH: I'll be there, I won't mention to anyone though – they could do with a surprise. Just think though, if Connie wasn't here you wouldn't heading home and about to have the best sex of your life ;) We definitely need to thank her. Can't wait to see you!

Love forever

Dr Zoe Hanna ( Soon to be Jordan :D) xx

Should I do a chapter 2 on Nick returning? Not email style just a chapter on the reunion. Let me know! Hope you liked, anyway... review please :)
