I know that Connie wasn't around when max first started but I have added her in, please reviewJ

Zoe was up in CT looking at some xrays when she heard someone behind her, it was max

"Doesn't your job get boring?" said max

"Shouldn't you be pushing trolleys" said Zoe to max smiling

Max laughed looking at Zoe knowing that his job wasn't the most exciting

"See if you look here you can see the mandible" said Zoe pointing to a part on the x-ray

Max started to fake yawn and Zoe looked at him and laughed

"Very funny" said Zoe smiling "there is boring parts to the job like admin and this"

"But then you look at the 6 figure sum in your bank" said max cheekily

Zoe laughed

"Have you been googling my job" said Zoe

"No" said max innocently

"Talking to noel and Louise?" said Zoe

"Maybe" said max smiling

Zoe smiled back

"You better get back to work before big mac kills you" said Zoe turning around and looking at the x-ray once more

Max smiled and took this as his chance, he walked over to Zoe and stood closely behind her putting each hand on the table at either side of her and looking over her head pretending that he was looking at the x-ray.

"So what's this" said max pointing to a part on the x-ray

Zoe smiled but in a way max couldn't see, zoe could smell max's aftershave as he bend over her, but she couldn't show any weakness as she was of course the strong zoe Hanna but there was something about this guy, something that was different but zoe couldn't put her finger on it, every time he brushed past he there was a shiver went down her spine, something that was uncontrollable. Zoe was smiling but then suddenly stopped realising that if she didn't respond to his advances then there was a chance that they would go away. There was a knock on the door and Zoe turned around, smiled at max and then went to open the door, it was Connie.

"Got the results?" said Connie to Zoe

"Yes" said Zoe handing Connie the x-ray

Connie was about to speak when she realised that max was in the room, one of Connie's stares made him leave straight away which amused zoe who was trying but failing to get max walker out of her head.

"Why was he here" said Connie after max left "and who even is he for that matter"

"Oh em that's max, the new porter" said Zoe

"And you know this how?" said Connie

"Oh em I was introduced to him this morning" said Zoe

"Oh" said Connie "well we are not paying him to sit in here all day talking to you"

"We weren't talking" said Zoe "I was showing him the parts to a skull on the x-ray"

"Didn't he go to school" said Connie before walking out

Zoe rolled her eyes and headed out towards the ED when she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket, Zoe realised that she couldn't look at her phone in the open hospital so she saw a corner and walked over to it so that nobody would see her. Zoe opened her phone up and read the text, it was from Nick which was strange as Zoe and him didn't really stay in contact except from the odd birthday and Christmas card and the recent email about Connie zoe hadn't talked to nick at all. But it turns out that this was a reply to her email about Connie coming back to the ED.

Yes I know her well and would advise you to be very careful, Zoe

While she is undoubtedly a brilliant surgeon she is also not to be messed with

I offer this note of caution as I cannot fathom why she may have decided to join the ED unless it was for her own gain

Keep in touch

Nick

Zoe read the message over and over again until she heard someone around the corner talking on the phone, Zoe realised that it was max so she listened carefully.

"Oh really" said max down the phone

"Well my house is free tonight" said max

"See you then" said max

"Oh you're a doctor" said max "well guess what, I am too"

The last comment made Zoe laugh which signalled to max that she was there, max ended the phone call and look at her smiling.

"So is this your secret corner too" said max

"No" said Zoe smiling

"Do you try and chat up every girl you see" said Zoe

Max didn't answer that question and edged closer to Zoe so that he could see who she was texting just in case she had a boyfriend, max looked at the screen unknown to Zoe and saw the name nick Jordan.
