Jess was coming to the end of the song when she was startled by the ringing of the phone. She got up, walked over to the table and answered it. It was her mum calling for their weekly chat.

Ed slowly sat up and looked at Kath. She looked back and they stared into each others eyes. They slowly moved in towards each other and their lips gently touched. Kath quickly pulled away.

KATH: No.we shouldn't be doing this.

ED: I know.

They leaned in towards each other again and put their arms around each others neck as they carried on kissing.

*ON KELLER*

Diane began to stir

ALEX: Honey?

DIANE: mmm.

ALEX: Are you ok?

DIANE: mmm..Just tired and sore...How long have I been asleep?

ALEX: Not long

He leaned over and gently kissed her on her head.

ALEX: I'll leave you to get some rest.

Diane slowly nodded and Alex walked out of the room.

Ric sat back down at his desk and wiped away the tears that were now drying on his face. 'I must pull myself together' he thought'. But he couldn't, and another tear slowly trickled down his face. He had seen the way she was looking at Alex and the way Alex was looking back at her. The way that he used to look at Diane, and the way she used to look back at him. He remembered all the good times they had together - the way she had looked so beautiful on their wedding day all dressed in white. It had only been 5 months ago but it had felt much longer to him, as he had always loved her from the very first moment that he saw her. They seemed to forget about all of the other people around them when they were together. Nothing else had mattered. Nothing could break their happiness. But it had. She had. And he was left all alone once again.

He got up out of his chair, wiping away the tears once again. He walked along the corridor and knocked on Tom's office where he knew Ed would be. Ed and Kath quickly pulled apart, both looking a little red in the face and embarrassed about what had just happened, and Ed quickly stood up as Ric walked in.

RIC: Ed.I.er.I'm not feeling too good.I've just come to let you know that I'm going home

ED: Ok

RIC: Oh hi Kath, sorry I didn't see you there.are you two ok?

ED: Tom died

RIC: Oh I'm sorry.I didn't know.he was a good surgeon

ED: yeah

RIC: I'll leave you to it

Ric walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. Kath and Ed looked at each other.

KATH: Do you think he saw anything?

ED: I.I don't think so...

They both started giggling.

KATH: It's not funny

ED: I know

They both continued giggling, but were interrupted by the bleeping of Ed's pager.

ED: I'm sorry.I've got to go

KATH: Yeah, I should be getting back to work as well

They both went their separate ways.
