Elsewhere in the ED, the girls were in Tess' office greeting Linda who had returned back to the ED after she knew that her sister no longer needed any help with the kids back in Liverpool. Zoe walked in and gave Linda a hug whilst Robyn and Rita introduced themselves.
"So, any new fit guys in the hospital that I should know of?" Linda asked and Zoe just smiled.
"I've missed you, do you know that?" She said before pulling Linda in for another hug.
"I'm serious though Zo, anyone that I should keep an eye out for?" Linda persistently asked.
"Well... There's Caleb, who is a complete player but perfect for you. Ash and is still here but I'm guessing after your last date with him that's a no. Noel is still single which isn't a massive surprise but Fletch is married so I would stay away." Zoe said whilst looking at Tess whose gaze fell to the floor.
"And Max, but he's a Porter but is still good looking-" Rita added causing Robyn to punch her in a joking manner.
"And my brother." Robyn added before. Zoe had missed Max out on purpose as she knew that him and Linda would get along well but was worried that he would prefer Linda to her.
"Well as we are all single, what say we have ourselves a little fun?" Linda said in a mischievous manner.
"I'm listening." Rita and Robyn echoed at the same time.
"I think we single ladies should have a little bet amongst ourselves as to who can get a snog off of one of the boys that you just said earlier... Including Fletch?"
"There is no way I am snogging my brother!" Robyn quickly said.
"No of course not, but the first to get a proper, full on snog from Fletch, Max, Caleb or Noel will get free drinks for the whole night? You in Zo?" Linda questioned as she realised that Zoe hadn't said a word since she suggested the whole idea.
"I'm gonna pull out of this one. I've got Connie breathing down my neck I can't afford to-" At this moment Charlie opened the door and Linda threw herself at him giving him a hug as she had missed him as much as Zoe in the time she had been away.
"Charlie doesn't count." Said Tess who caused the others to laugh but Charlie was left confused.
"What don't I count towards?" He said as the rest of the girls went silent.
"Linda came up with the idea that whoever gets a snog off of Fletch, Max, Cal or Noel first gets free drinks for the whole night, but don't worry Charlie I have ruled myself out to focus on the department." Zoe said with a slight upset tone to her voice.
"Well Zoe as proud as I am that you turned down the opportunity for free drinks you may regret it because I heard that the same four boys have got their own competition to see who can get a kiss off of the one and only Zoe Hanna first." Zoe smiled as she knew this would give her an opportunity to spend a little more time with Max who could then blame it on the bet.
"Well no offense Zoe but you are ruled out of this bet. I need myself a snog and free drinks." Linda said which caused them all to laugh and then disperse throughout the ED to get on with the job in hand.
