The day came for Rosie and Ethan to travel to London. They had to go into work first thing to collect some last minute paper work but they were soon on their way to the train station. Rosie was excited but also nervous- she would soon be with some of the best young doctors in the country! Cal had kissed her goodbye at the door- he wanted to drive her to the train station but Ethan had convinced him to stay at home- Ethan knew about Cal's plan for the romantic dinner for when Rosie returned late in the evening. It wasn't just dinner he had to prepare.
Rosie and Ethan sat side by side on the train- the train had been seriously delayed, and was now overcrowded and noisy. Both young doctors sat reading their books, deeply engrossed in their own private bubble. Then everything seemed to slow down. The lights on the train flickered, there were horrendously loud crashes and bangs, followed by the screaming.
Cal was stood in the jewellers when he got the call
'Hi Cal- it's Zoe. There's been a major incident and a large number of casualties are being taken to us. I know that you booked today off but we really need you in work- we can't get hold of Ethan or Rosie and they're probably nearer to London than here by now. Can you get here as soon as possible?'
'Yeah- sure, just give me 10 minutes. I'm kinda in the middle of something important.'
'Thanks Cal.' Then the line went dead.
Cal has already chosen what he wanted, so quickly paid for it and rushed into work. He placed the small box in his locker and joined Zoe in resus.
'Wow- you got here quick. Where were you?'
'Oh- I was only round the corner.'
'What did you have to do?'
'It... it's kind of personal, sorry Zoe.'
'Okay' said Zoe with a knowing smile
'I'll tell you soon. I'll tell everyone.'
Zoe smiled at the young doctor- he really had changed and she was thrilled to see him so happy.
'Oh and Zoe-'
'Yes'
'What is the major incident?'
'It was a train crash- just outside Holby.'
