Thanks again for all the fabulous reviews, I am trying to update everyday but might find that hard at the weekend, so enjoy this chapter and please keep leaving all those lovely reviews
Max's eyes shot up when he heard her heels clicking threw the ED.
It had been two months since Zoe left, two months of sleepless nights, two months of hangovers and two months of heartbreak.
"Zoe" max whispered
The heels that had echoed through the empty staffroom suddenly stopped, pausing for a split second before Turing and continuing in the other direction.
Max sat at the nurses station, tapping his pen on the table.
"Morphine and then discharge"
Her voice rang in the air; it was like music to his ears. It was a sound that made max's head shoot up.
The sound of her heels once again clicked threw the ED, max's eyes widened when he saw the black lubricants appear at the bottom of the curtains pulled around cubical four.
"Zoe" max whispered for the second time that day
"Max, you ok?" Charlie placed his hand on max's back turning him around so that they could see eye to eye
"Is that...?" max began, turning round; pointing to where he had once saw the outline of the perfect woman
"No, I must be going crazy!" max shook his head beginning to walk off
"She does that to people" by the time max had turned round to call Charlie on his comment, Charlie had walked off in the other direction
"She sure does" max whispered to himself, glancing at his screen saver, the woman he loved
Max took his chance; he was going out of his mind. Most of the ED thought he was going crazy, all except Charlie who whatever way max turned, seemed to be lurking in the background, finding what was happening very amusing. The effect Zoe was having on max, to Charlie was better than going to a live comedy!
Max had now heard Zoe's heels many times, seen an outline of her in cubicals and seen her sitting on the seat in what was now, Connie's office
Max put his hand out pulling her round the corner as she emerged from the office
"I knew it was you" max almost shouted
"Well done, Sherlock" Zoe rolled her eyes and smiled when she locked eyes with the young porter
Laughing max pulled Zoe into a hug "I've missed you"
"I don't do hugs max"
"Not even for me?"
"Ok" zoe smiled as she wrapped her arms around max "but don't tell anyone"
"Max" zoe whispered "is it just me or are people staring"
"Yes...people are staring" max and Zoe separated and looked around "hospital cafe?"
"Hospital cafe" Zoe repeated as they walked off in the opposite direction
"Did zoe just hug you?" noel asked
"I don't know what you mean" max winked as he made his way to the elevator, where Zoe was waiting
