She put the chocolate in her pocket and then made her way back to the ED. She decided she needed time to think so sat in her office that she shared with connie the living breathing ice queen herself, even though recently they seemed to be getting on a lot better. As she started to work her way through the ever growing pile of admin her heart felt heavy and tears started to form in her eyes. She blinked quickly and opened her eyes wide in order to prevent any more tears. How could a person have such a profound affect on your ability to control your own emotions and make you feel so damn horrible for upsetting them. That's how Zoe felt about Max and she was sure that it was the same for him.

She hadn't meant to hurt him, but she had her career to think about and everyone knows that she lives for her work.

4 hours passed and her shift was due to end in half an hour, her pile of admin was now none extant so she picked up her phone. She so wanted to text Max to so she was sorry for being obnoxious, selfish and that she loved him but she couldn't bring herself to.

As her shift ended she gathered her coat and bag took the paperwork to reception and made a hasty exit. Little did she know that Max was watching her and the fact that she hadn't even tried to apologise made him feel all the more hurt. How could the person he'd die for not even try to make amends. He loved her more than words could ever say and yet she just walked out. 'She's trying to avoid the difficult conversation, when things get tough she runs. I don't know if I'll ever get her back, but God I love her I love her more than anything.' Max didn't quite know what to do, at the end of his shift he walked straight home in order to miss any awkward questions from his friends to why he looked like he'd been hit my ton of bricks.

This time he was sure Zoe had picked her work over him and he just had to deal with it. Life goes on.
