Phil and Chalotte had finally managed to get up out of bed and get fully dressed by midday. Phil wasn't due into work until later so they had time to just lay around the house and get their energy back. Phil now didn't feel so guilty about cheating on Sam. He knew that the first time he was with Charlotte would be hard but now that was over he didn't feel so bad.
"Will her memory ever come back to her?" Stuart asked the doctor.
"Perhaps, I can't say for sure. Each person is different. Some people in her situation do regain their memory, others never remember." Stuart nodded his head to show he understood. He hoped she would never regain her memory because then she would know he was lying and go back to Phil. "You can use anything to help her remember...objects, sounds,smells...she might only remember little things at first."
"Right thanks" Stuart disappeared back into Sams room, sat on the end of the bed and took one of Sams hands in his own.
"How is everyone in Sunhill?"
"Everyones fine. Do you remember everyone?"
"Erm...I remember Debbie McAllister and...erm...Ken Drummond and..."
"Hold on Sam, I havn't heard of any of them. Don't your remember Zain Nadir?...Kezia Walker?...Neil Manson?"
Sam thought for a moment then shook her head sadly. "What about Phil, hows he?"
"well..." Stuart began, choosing his words very carefully "He's just the same as ever. It doesn't sound like he's changed at all in four years. He's cocky, arrogant, totally in love with himself...oh...and he's a liar. Noone really trusts him. He fancies you and he's extremely jealous of us. He tries to steal you at every possible opportunity...so don't be surprised if he tries to take advantage of you while your not well ok?"
Sam nodded, drinking in his every word.
"I've got to go now babe" Phil said as Charlotte kissed her way down his neck.
"No I don't want you to go! Can't you phone in sick?"
"Sorry babe" he said, pulling away and kissing her lightly on the lips.
"I'll see you later"
Phil arrived at the station and walked through the corriders with a smile firmly implanted on his face. He noticed a few glances in his direction and wondered what was going on but put it down to the look on his face. He realised he must look a bit daft.
Phil walked through the double doors into CID and at once, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at him, all smiling. He looked around at them all, wondering what the hell they were staring at. A thought suddenly occured to him...maybe Charlotte had done something for a laugh that he hadn't noticed. He looked down at himself and ran his hand through his hair but found nothing out of the ordinary. Neil walked out of his office.
"Phil!" He said as he spotted him "What are you doing here? I thought you'd be at the hospital with Sam"
"Why would I be there? I go to see her almost everyday and I'm always at work on time. Why's today any different?"
"You mean you havn't heard yet? They didn't phone you?"
"Phone me?"
"Phil...Sam woke up..."
