"Cause you still love him" said Zoe as if it was obvious

Tess opened her mouth to say something but no words came out, then Tess turned her head slightly and realised that her and Zoe had an audience, fletch and Charlie.

Tess saw fletch first who looked shocked then he looked on the ground, then Tess saw Charlie who was giving her a knowing look he also had a smile on his face realising that he was right earlier and that zoe had also thought the same thing.

"I don't" Said Tess who finally had words to speak

"Yes you do" said zoe not caring that fletch and Charlie were watching "Tess you love him and you know it and denying it isn't doing you any favours"

Tess looked at the ground then she looked at Charlie as if she was looking for him to say something or take her side but Tess knew that Zoe and Charlie were right and that if it was that obvious to them then it must be very obvious to fletch.

Tess picked up a patient's notes and headed into a cubical. Zoe just ran her hand threw her hair then watched as Charlie and fletch walked over.

"Did I do the right thing?" said Zoe to Charlie looking up at him

"Yes" said Charlie leaning against the desk so that he could talk to Zoe "she knows it herself and hopefully her knowing that I and you have noticed it too, will make her do the right thing"

"And what is that?" said Zoe

Charlie didn't answer so Zoe just looked at fletch who immediately looked away and acted as if he didn't have a clue what they were talking about.

"Who is this guy anyway" said Charlie "and why can't they just kiss and make up? what has he done that's so terrible?"

"It's complicated" said Zoe sighing

"Tess said the exact same thing" said Charlie who was disappointed that Zoe and Tess weren't letting him know

"Well it is" said Zoe walking away

Charlie watched zoe walk off and then turned to look at fletch who had his head turned the other way acting as if he hadn't heard anything but Charlie knew that he had as Charlie had seen fletch's face when Zoe was questioning Tess.

"So what do you make of all this" said Charlie to fletch

Fletch turned around and acted as if he didn't know what Charlie was talking about, and Charlie was surprised that he was confiding in a member of his and Tess's staff.

"About what?" said fletch

"Tess and this guy" said Charlie

"What guy?" said fletch

"Fletch I know that you were as interested in their conversation as I was" said Charlie smartly crossing his arms
