So, it's official that Connie takes Zoe's job. There's a bit in the summer spoiler where Connie shuts the office door and her name is on it – Mrs Connie Beauchamp, Lead Consultant. However; Zoe and Max have sex in a cupboard so there is always a bright side haha. Anyway – please read and review. Team Zoe all the way.

"Well its official" Zoe sighed as she sat on her sofa next to Max, "Connie's the new clinical lead..." she trailed of, taking a large drink of the red wine in front of her, she wasn't sure if she was happy not to be clinical lead anymore; she hated the paperwork, the extra hours and the hassle but she wasn't impressed with the way Connie had acted to get the job. She supposed it was a blessing in disguise, after the recent hassle she'd had from the press.

"It will all work out" Man tried to console her as the tears began to fall from her eyes. "I promise it will be fine" he insisted, wiping away the tears with the pads of his thumbs and kissed her softly.

"I know" she sniffled, deepening their kissed and standing up pulling him towards the bedroom. She was so glad she had Max, everyone in the ED was pissed off with her, even Charlie, but not Max. Max stuck by her, he was there after he raging argument with Guy Self. He consoled her in her office, probably the last time she'd have control of that office. It reminded her so much of her past, of Nick. Now though, Max was here. "Don't tease, not tonight" she whispered softly as Max's lips made their way up her thigh.

"Ok" he complied, pushing himself into her and rocking them back and forth gently.

"My God" she sighed, as he rolled off her body and cuddled her into his side. She was so glad she had him. The porter. The Consultant and The Porter; she didn't care what anyone thought about her anymore, she was no longer in charge. She had lost her grip on the ED but she wasn't going to lose her grip on the one person that made her happy.

She turned to face him and propped herself up on hr elbow "Move in with me?" she whispered, mirroring the massive smile that graced his face.
