Chapter 13
"Hannah are you on call tonight?" asked Zoe.
"Yeah," said Hannah.
"Well I'll page you when we need you," said Zoe. "It's quiet now so I'd try and squeeze some sleep in."
"I won't be able to at least not properly," said Hannah. "Subconscious will be listening for the pager."
"It's already been a long afternoon and it'll be a long night and morning if you don't," said Zoe.
Nodding she headed to the on call room, pulling out her phone as she went, to text Max.
On call room sleep come sit with me please. H.
She'd only been in the room five minutes when the door cracked open and Max slipped in.
"What's up?" he asked.
"You know me and sleep," she said. "Besides these beds are so damn uncomfortable."
"You want your human pillow," he said.
"I do," she said.
"What do I get?" he asked.
"Something later," she said.
"Like what?" he asked.
"Home cooked meal," she said.
"Hmm," he murmured, as he slid onto the bed next to her.
"You know what," she whispered.
He nodded and curled his arms around her.
"I can't be long. I'm not officially on break yet," said Max.
"I know," she whispered, as she drifted into sleep.
Max just couldn't resist to keep Hannah in his arms for another minute and he soon drifted to sleep too.
That was his careless mistake. Only half an hour later Zoe opened the door the to wake Hannah. Her eyes took the couple.. Hannah curled up to Max, Max cradling her against his chest like a rare jewel. The click of the door had woken him and as she shut the door he stirred awake as her pager went off.
"Hannah," he whispered, gently shaking her.
She groaned and her groggy eyes open, she blinked sleepily at him.
"Your pager," he said.
"Thought you'd be gone," she whispered.
"Yeah well I didn't," he answered.
"You fell asleep," she said.
"I did," he answered. "I think the door woke me."
"What?" she asked, as she sat up.
"We'll see when we get out there," he whispered. "You go first it was your pager."
Hannah nodded and slipped out, moments later so did Max. Both to find that no one was talking about them. So either Max hadn't heard the door or the person who had been at the door was keeping what they saw under wraps for now.
