Zoe walked to the ward where Molly was recovering from her operation. She opened the doors and went in and sat beside her bed.
"How you feeling?" Zoe asked.
"Like I've just had brain surgery." Molly said trying to make light of the situation.
"That might be because you have. Is there anyone I can call for you?"
"No thank you dear. I've been alone all my life, think it's a bit late for me to find company now." Molly said as look of sadness washed over her face.
"I know the feeling." Zoe said.
"Let me guess... Been working all of your life, so you've never had a chance to work at building a life away from work."
"It's like you know me." Zoe said as she ran her hand through her hair.
"That's because I do. I used to be like you, so focused on making sure I made a living so that I never went without, when in reality I missed out on the best part of living. You know what that is Dr. Hanna?" She said as Zoe shook her head.
"Adventure and love, but I guess they both come hand in hand. If I had a second chance I would focus less on a career and more on living life to the fullest. Isn't it ironic how you are so fixed on fixing others that you neglect to fix yourself."
"Are you sure your not a psychiatrist?" Zoe said trying to dismiss the whole situation.
"It doesn't take a genius to work that one out. Dr. Hanna promise me something?" Molly asked.
"I'm sure I can comply depending on what it is."
"Don't make the same mistake as me. You think that it's too late to change your life but believe me it's not." Molly said as Zoe just nodded and stood up to leave.
"Well, get well soon." Zoe said as she quickly exited the ward and took a deep breath.
She made her way to her joint office to think things through but opened the door to see Connie at her desk. Zoe was about to walk out when Connie called her back.
"Zoe... Have you had a chance to think about my earlier proposal?"
"Yes." Zoe said
"And?" Connie said pushing for an answering secretly hoping that she would agree to the holiday leave.
"And, my head has been all over the place today but I have never been more clear on anything in a while." Zoe said.
"You still haven't given me an answer."
"The answer is I quit. As of the end of my shift I resign, I know I have notice to work out but I gathered the holiday leave would cover that." Zoe said as Connie just stared at her in shock.
Really wanted to update tonight, so here it is as promised. There are three chapters to go before I finish this fan fic for a while. I just feel with Zoe taking a break it will be a good place to break in the story. I will update again tomorrow if I get at least 4 reviews. I love reading all of your reviews they are great, so please continue to R&R :)
