Chapter to Work
Sam awoke, snuggled into Dylan's chest. She glanced over at his alarm clock. 6:15. Time to get up for work. She shook Dylan's shoulder till he awoke.
"What is it sweetheart?"
"Time for work."
"Not on that ankle, you don't."
"Oh yes I do. I need to do something, lying around just isn't me."
"Fine, but if you make it worse, don't say I didn't warn you."
"If it hurts badly, I'll tell Mr Jordan."
"Can you walk on it today?"
"Let's see shall we."
Sam swings her legs from the bed and stands up. She grimaces before limping towards the door.
"Maybe you should get that looked at."
"Maybe I should."
The two get dressed and have a wake-up coffee. Dylan insists on taking the truck so Sam doesn't have to walk very far. He carries her out and puts her in the passenger seat. He gets in and starts the truck. It only takes a few minutes to get to the ED. When they arrive, Dylan helps Sam from the truck. As they go into the ED, all eyes are fixed on them as Dylan's arm supports Sam's waist and weight. The only member of staff who looks annoyed at this is Dr Zoe Hanna. Mr Jordan comes out of his office to see why Sam is hopping, Dylan holding her close to him.
"Dr Nicholls, Dr Keogh. Why don't we have a little chat."
Mr Jordan steps back, holding the door, letting the couple in. They all sit down, Sam resting on Dylan's lap.
"What happened to you, young lady?"
"I fell down-"
"She sprained her ankle."
"Dylan!"
"Thank you." Mr Jordan coughs. "You can't work like this. Let me take a look. Dr Keogh, I would like you to leave."
Dylan reluctantly stands up and sets Sam on the chair.
"See you soon."
"Bye Grumpy."
She smiles at him as he leaves.
