Chapter 2

….

Megan walked through the corridor to her office, Ethan giving her a good morning as she went…her dark glasses covering a multitude of sins. She threw her Gucci bag on the floor beside the couch and fell into her desk chair, a large sigh escaping her lips. She took in her surroundings, her colleagues buzzing around outside, hard a work and she couldn't even get the energy to move from her desk.

"Megan…"

"Kate…" She half smiled.

Megan's Boss, Dr Kate Murphy walked into the office and over to stand in front of Megan, noticing the dark circles under the older woman's eyes as she removed her sun glasses.

"Late night was it?"

"Mmmm, something like that." She groaned.

"It's not like you to be out on a school night."

"No and the last time I checked Dr Murphy, you were not my Mother."

"I'm not, however I am your Boss and after what happened yesterday, if you're not up to your job then I…"

"I don't remember saying I wasn't up to my job, it's just a headache and it will pass. As for yesterday, I'm fine"

"Okay, if you say so. You have a body in autopsy, a Jane Doe…when you're ready."

Kate handed Megan the brown folder before walking out of the office, nearly crashing into Peter as she rounded the corner.

"Easy does it Doctor." Peter smiled, grabbing her arms before she fell.

"Morning Peter, sorry about that."

"You okay?"

"Me, I'm just fine. I can't say the same for Dr Hunt."

"Megan's here already?"

"She is, she looks like she's hardly slept. Is she okay?"

"As far as I know, why?"

"Look, I know what she's like. I know she won't admit to being scared after yesterday's events; however…she might have opened up to you."

"Megan will get over what happened in her own time, you know she won't let it affect her ability to do her job. She never has before; there would be no reason for her to start now."

"If you say so, but do me a favour and just keep an eye on her?"

"Yeah, of course."

…

Peter came to a standstill in the doorway, Megan's head was down as she read the file that Kate had handed to her minutes before hand.

"Morning…"

Megan looked up at the sound of Peter's voice to see him standing a few feet away, a smile on his face.

"Good morning."

The shakiness in her voice didn't go unnoticed by him as he closed the office door behind him and walked over to the desk.

"How are you feeling?"

"I feel…like I'm paying for last night."

"You did have a few."

She moved from her place behind her desk and came around to stand in front of him, feeling a little nervous.

"Peter…about last night, I feel so embarrassed for my behaviour."

"You were just getting the days events out of your system, its okay Megan…really."

"You were only helping me last night and I was a little rude."

"Megan, you don't have to apologise…really."

"So you know the barman huh?"

"How do you know that?"

"A few things came back to me this morning; I seem to recall him telling you to keep in touch."

"He's an old friend from College; it's been a few years. You get busy, you lose touch."

"He seemed nice."

"Yeah, he is."

…

They lapsed into silence, Megan considering whether or not to bring up their kiss from the previous night. Deep down she prayed that Peter would be the first one to say something but nobody dared speak.

"Well, I have an autopsy to get too so I should probably…."

She was about to walk away when Peter took hold of her arm, stopping her in her tracks.

"No, you don't get away that easily Megan."

"Peter I…"

"You said to me last night that you wouldn't regret anything that might happen between us."

"I remember."

"Did you mean it or is that just something you say in the heat of the moment?"

"No, I meant it."

"I did want to take things further with you last night Megan but you were so emotionally drained to know what you were doing and I didn't want you regret anything."

"My heads clear now." She smiled.

He moved closer to her, wrapping his arms gently around her waist before he leaned down and placed a soft lingering kiss to her lips. She moaned against him as her arms came around his neck, a smile showing as she pulled back. Ethan and Curtis were walking by Megan's office when Peter brought Megan close to him. The only thing that could be heard echoing through the building at that moment were Curtis words "Oh hell no."
