Zoe, began to stir. She was lying on the sofa in her office.

'how long have a been asleep she asked herself.' She reached for her phone. 14:00 so it has been over twelve hours. She suddenly remembered. "Max." Just as the door opened and Tess walked on.

"Zoe, oh hello your awake. Umm I've just come to let you know that Max is awake."

"Oh thank God. Thank you Tess, I'll go and see him now."

"Okay well I'll just go and get Robyn out of the way so you can. I heard what happened before."

"Okay then."

"I don't think she meant it, she wanted someone to blame."

"Yeah."

Tess left and went to take Robyn to get a drink and something to eat from the shop. This allowed Zoe to go into resus and we Max.

"Max."

"Zoe."

"Oh Max I'm so sorry."

"It wasn't your fault."

"That's not what Robyn thinks though."

"Oh forget about her. Your the one that got me out of there."

"Okay."

"Do you know when I can get out of here. I feel a bit of over exposure to a hospital coming on."

"Oh shh you." Zoe picked up his note and began to read them. Well I should think no more than a few days. Once the burns have shown signs of healing you'll be free to go."

As Zoe perched on the bed and took Max's hand in hers , the door swung open.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop her." Tess said

"It's okay. I was just gonna go anyway."

Max cut in. "Oh no your not. What is it with you too." Max looked from Zoe to Robyn and back again.

"Umm well umm."

"It's Zoe's fault that your in this mess, if you hadn't have gone to her new place, you wouldn't have got hurt Max."

"Robyn, you can't blame Zoe for this, it was just a unfortunate accident. I offered to go in and see what the problem was I put myself in danger it was nothing to do with Zoe."

"Still she could have tried to stop you but she didn't."

Zoe looked at Max. "I'm going to go, I can't do this."

"Zoe please wait, I have a quick question. Where are you going to stay?"

"I have no idea, I can't go back to the boat I've only just left and I don't think I can put up with Dylan right now."

"You can take refuge at my place with lofty and Robyn. My rooms free until I get home."

"Max that's so kind but I don't think that's best with everything with Robyn."

Max turned his head so he could see Robyn.

"Would you be okay with that?"

"Well if I have to be, I still blame her though and I'm not going to forgive and forget that easily."

"See there sorted."

Zoe stepped closer to Max's head and kissed his lips. "I love you, you know."

"And I love you too. I'll be back into check on you later."

Will Robyn and Zoe be able to live in harmony for Max's sake or will it all end in tears?

Please review. There'll be more soon xx
