So, Nick is slightly ooc in this I think but hey! This is the only way I can think of how to write this. This chapter is quite short, sorry about that!
Casualty doesn't belong to me.
Nick was wandering back to his office when he met Mel. He could see she was happy but there was a slight haunted look about her.
"Did it go alright?" Nick asked stopping in front of Mel.
"Yes it went perfectly!" Mel grinned and did a little skip. "They've matched prints from the explosion to my family's case! The police are reinvestigating!"
"That's great! So what's next?" Nick really was delighted for Mel. It made him happy to see her this cheery. She seemed almost as happy as she had been when she was a teen, before it all happened.
"I don't know, I think they're going to print the staff. It's just so strange, the whole thing being so close to an end." Mel laughed and hugged Nick. She was in one of those moods. "I'm just so happy!"
"I know. And believe me, I am too! We are going for a drink, a toast to your parents." Nick announced spinning Mel around. Their little dance attracted some attention from reception but the pair were oblivious to the raised eyebrows.
"My shift finishes in an half an hour. Shall I see you then?" Mel asked, puffing from the dance.
"Yes, that sounds good. Don't forget to focus on the patients, however shocking the news you receive." Nick hugged Mel once more and headed towards his office. This public display had slightly surprised him but because he knew how important it meant to Mel he had happily obliged.
Like I said, Nick is slightly ooc but who knows how he'd react to the news?
