Thank you for the kind reviews! I appreciate it! It really inspires me to write more, so here's the next chapter.
Any ideas are welcome.
Chapter 2.
This story is set when Mads left for her brothers wedding in Pakistan for three weeks, this is her return.
Mads had just changed into her scrubs, tied her hair back and clipped the shorter curls back with a few hair grips she had in the bottom of her locker, dispersed everywhere. She then clipped her pocket watch onto her uniform, and compared the time on her watch to the one on the wall and ensured it was correct.
She was relieved that she was 10 minutes early for her shift. She simply smiled to herself and walked over to make yet another coffee to cure her tiredness from the long flight she experienced the previous night. As she stood waiting for the kettle to boil, she took her mobile from her pocket to check for any messages. Nothing, but she smiled to herself again as she saw the screensaver, a group photo of her and the whole family at her brothers wedding.
The staffroom door then flung open, her mouth moved sharply from a subtle smile to a look of anticipation. She turned to look over her left shoulder, her hands gripping the counter like a person hanging onto a cliff for dear life. It was Lenny, typically. He allowed a few short gasps of air slip under his breathe, as he said 'Mads'. It was a voice Mads had never heard from Lenny before, like this voice shouldn't belong to him. It was a tone of affection; he sounded guilty, but looked deep into her eyes. Mads could feel a tear so desperately trying to escape her eye, she blinked in hope it would disappear so she could reply like he was Dr. Lyons. She gritted her teeth, gazing into his eyes which were so deeply looking into hers. She managed to spit out 'Lenn' before quietly mumbling 'Y' under the tears filling her eyes like a tap filling a basin.
What do you think? I'm sorry, it's quite a short chapter! Please keep the reviews and ideas coming!
