CHAPTER SIXTEEN
The day past quickly, the gossip soon ended and the pity started.
Charlie walked down from the Keller ward where he had waited all day watching Zoe, making sure she didn't move as he knew how Zoe thinks alcohol is an answer to everything.
When Charlie walked down to the ED he went straight to reception and lifted the book of condolence which he was happy to see was full.
"A couple of surgeons from other wards who knew Mr. Jordan signed it too" said noel
Charlie half smiled before heading over to the staffroom where the staffs were gathered.
"Ready?" said Charlie
There were a couple of nods as Charlie lead the staff to the cemetery which was only a three minute walks away.
The staff followed Charlie to nick and Nicola grave; on their way there they passed Zoe who was walking with her head down and her hands on her pockets.
"Zoe, you can stay you know" said Charlie
"No, I have been here all day" said Zoe pointing behind her while looking up at all the staff who had come to see the grave "I better get home"
"They are your husband and daughter, don't let us push you away from visiting there grave" said Charlie
"They were my husband and daughter" corrected Zoe
"Zoe I'm so sorry" said Louise
"Thanks" said Zoe faking a smile
Zoe pushed through the ED crowed before max followed her.
"I will walk you home" said max running up to her
Zoe didn't say anything until the staff where away.
"Max I won't be much fun tonight" said Zoe as her and max walked side by side "I plan on just downing several bottles of wine"
"It's not about you being fun" said Zoe smiling and shaking his head "it's about making sure you're ok"
"Yea right" said Zoe rolling her eyes as she folded her arms
Max slowly slipped his hand into Zoe's which made Zoe near jump.
