"Her pulse is back to normal now." Adam told Zoë, studying Kirsty's monitor closely.

"Alright good." Zoë replied with a smile."I'm just going to check on my patient in cubicle three, okay?"

"Yeah, that's fine. See you later." Adam replied.

Then, he and Kirsty were left alone. He took her hand in his, comfortingly.

"How's your head?" He asked, with a sympathetic smile.

"Not great." Kirsty croaked. She cleared her throat. "Did I hit it?"

"Yeah, on the counter, do you not remember?"

"Umm, I remember we were transferring a patient to...umm, to CDU?"

"That's right, yeah." Adam nodded "And after that..?"

Kirsty thought for a long while.

"I don't know!" She finally said, frustrated.

"Shhh, it's alright, you'll remember soon." Adam said gently. "Now, will you be alright here for a few minutes, whilst I go and tell Tess what's going on?"

"What!" Kirsty said incredulously. "Tess is already after my blood, I was late this morning! This will only make it worse!"

"Alright, calm down." Adam said "We have to tell her, because you'll need to take a break, okay?"

"No I don't, I'm fine now!" Kirsty said firmly, sitting up. Dizziness hit, knocking the breath out of her. She quickly lay back down, gasping.

"Maybe, just a short break..?" Kirsty said, after she'd got her breath back.

"Good girl." Adam smiled at her. "I'll go and find Tess."

Minutes later, Adam returned, with a worried looking Tess in tow.

"Kirsty" She said sympathetically "How are you feeling?"

"I'm honestly fine, Tess."

"No, you're not." Adam said. Then he turned to face Tess. "She fainted, she has a pretty deep laceration to the back of her head, and she's amnesic."

"Have you stitched up the cut?"

"Yes, Zoë helped."

"Kirsty, this doesn't sound like you're fine." Tess stated gently.

"I honestly am, I'm just tired."

Adam gazed into her chocolate-brown eyes.

"No." He shook his head, "It's deeper than that. What's wrong Kirsty..?"

Adam's eyes pleaded her to tell him the truth, to open up to him. She considered it briefly. How great it would be, to tell someone. To have that weight lifted off of her shoulders. But no, she wasn't ready yet.

"It's..It's nothing." Kirsty replied, frantically racking her brain for a decent excuse to her abnormal behaviour. "I'm just..I'm just worried, about Nita."

"What about her?" Tess asked, concerned.

"Oh, umm..Just about..How well she's doing, at school I mean."

That excuse could've been better. But it could've been worse – it could've been the truth. Both Adam and Tess eyed her suspiciously.

"Are you sure that's all it is..?" Adam wondered, doubtfully.

"Yeah" Kirsty nodded, trying to sound convincing, although she was suddenly overcome by tiredness.

"Alright, Kirsty, I'll give you the rest of the day off, and tomorrow if you're still not feeling great, okay?" Tess asked.

Too weak to argue, she managed to murmur "Yeah...", before the exhaustion took over, and she was asleep.
