Tom turned around and quickly walked out of the office feeling very
betrayed and upset.
"I better go after him" Anita told Alex
She finally caught up with Tom along the corridoor
"Tom, I'm sorry.." She started
"No, No. It's fine. You're free to do whatever you want. There was nothing
between us. I hope you're happy with him" replied Tom, "Anyway, I better be
getting on"
As she started walking back to Alex's office he came to find her.
"Is everything ok?" Alex asked
"Yeah. There was just a bit of misunderstanding last week. It was nothing.
Can I see you later?" she asked
"Um, yeah. I finish about 7. Maybe we can get something to eat" said Alex
just as his pager went off
"I'll look forward to it" Anita called out after him
THEATRE
"Ah, I'm glad you could make it" said Tom as Alex walked in, "now that
you've finished playing tonsil hockey, I think you'll agree that it looks
like we've got a massive bleed coming somewhere from the left ventricle."
The atmosphere was very tense and hostile between the two as they continued
with the operation.
When they finally finished Alex walked out of theatre to find anita waiting
for him.
"I'm sorry, it took longer than expected." said Alex
"It's fine" replied Anita as they started walking away
"Anita?" asked Ed as he approached from the other direction
"Ed? How are you?" she responded
"Do you two know each other?" asked Alex
"you could say that.." responded Anita
"Oh. How?" Alex asked curiously
"It was a long time ago" replied Anita with a tense look on her face
"We used to be married!" exclaimed Ed
