Good news! I got top grades in my exams! (except English but I'm appealing that.) Very Happy!
I apologise for the slight wait, I've been on Colonsay and the internet was not great. As for Sending Him and Her, I have a chapter half written but some serious writers block is attacking the story :( It will be updated soon!
Disclaimer: Nope, Casualty is not mine.
"So, you got some good news then?" Tom asked handing Mel a patient's file. He had watched the little display with interest and was determined to find out what had caused such an outburst.
"Yeah! Why?" Mel said flipping through the notes.
"Oh I just wondered what had happened. It's not often that we see people dancing around the ED." Tom smiled scribbling his signature onto a form.
"Oh it's just something I've been waiting to hear for eight years." Mel spoke vaguely, seemingly engrossed in the notes.
"Does it have something to do with your changing health?" Tom still questioned. He wanted to know what had changed, not because he was nosy but because he wanted to be able to be there for her.
"Sort of. Look I can't tell you at the moment, I will soon hopefully. It's just something I don't talk about much, I'm sorry, it isn't personal."
"That's OK, if and when you want to talk and you don't want to go to Mr Jordan you can always come to me." Tom smiled and went to finish up with his last patient of the shift. He could tell that pushing the subject wasn't going to get answers but if he waited Mel would probably open up.
Made an arrest. Tell Melody. I don't have her number. xx
Nick read the text under the table, Mel was up buying more drinks. Their conversation had consisted of memories from back in the day.
"That Yvonne?" Mel asked placing a beer and a lemonade down on the table. She had drunk half a lager but decided she would drive home and so switched to soft drinks.
"Yes, she has asked me to tell you that they've made an arrest." Nick put his phone back in his pocket and took a sip of his beer.
"Oh." Mel slumped back in her seat, "Right."
Next chapter will skip forward in time to the trial. Until then though, Au Revoir!
Hattie xx
