The Secret Life Of Casualty.
Chapter 601.
Adam wasn't planning on seeing his ex - wife again, but after leaving the ED, he'd ended up in London, working in a hospital and he bumped in to her at a bar. Despite not having seen her for years, he could spot her, anywhere.
"That's ironic" He thought to himself. He walked over to her.
"Hey, stranger" He winked at her.
Jessica slowly turned around, her eyes widening as she realised who it was. "Adam" She gasped.
Adam laughed, slightly. "Hey, Jess"
"What are you doing here?" She asked as the two of them settled in to a booth.
"I've left the ED" Adam told her. "I needed a fresh start after. "
Jess nodded. "I know"
Adam reached inside his jacket pocket and got out his wallet, Jess wondered what he was doing, until he opened it and handed her a slightly crumpled picture.
Jess's heart stopped. It was their wedding picture.
Adam's hand covered hers. "It was the happiest moment of my life, Jess. Me, you, Harry, the kids, it's all I wanted"
Jessica nodded, but this time, her eyes were brimming with unshed tears. "I'm sorry I blamed you"
"If I could have saved you both, I would have" Adam told her, sincerely. Jess believed him. She gently folded the picture back up.
Adam paid their bill as they left the pub, Jess shivered as they stepped in to the cold air.
"Here, have this," Adam said, pulling off his jacket and placing it around her shoulders.
"Thanks Adam" Jess smiled, noticing how it was his brown leather jacket.
"Well, here, we are" Adam announced as they stepped outside a house.
Jess hung back as he unlocked the door. "You coming in?"
Jessica nodded. "Sure"
Jess stepped in to see it was a similar set up to the house he'd owned in Holby. The floor was wooden, the stairs were carpeted and photos of Harry hung in frames .
"This way," He told her, leading the way in to the living room. Two couches stood against either side of the wall, a coffee table in the middle, in the far corner, stood a TV. Adam switched it on.
"London, because, of a deadly, virus, is going in to lockdown"
Jess bit her lip, Lucas and Amelia were in Saudi Arabia with their father. She'd been in no fit state after Harry's death and had made the decision to hand them over, knowing that while it hurt, it was the right thing, Sean would look after them.
"Look, why don't you stay here tonight, you can have my bed" Adam suggested.
"OK. "
"Good. Come on, I'll show you" Taking her by the hand, he gently pulled her up and walked in to the hallway, walking up the stairs.
On the landing, he pushed a door open with his shoulder to reveal a double bed in the middle, a bedside table.
Finding her a pair of his spare joggers, he handed them to her.
Jess smiled once again. "Thanks"
"No problem, Jess"
Adam left her while she changed. "Ready?"
"Sure"
Adam walked back in. "You know where I am if you need me, Jess?" He told her, kissing her cheek.
"OK"
Adam switched out the light, stepping out on to the landing. He still felt the same way about her and he could only hope, she did about him. He figured lockdown would be a good place to work out if they had a future.
I started writing this while watching Jess clips. Please let me know what you think, it's been a while since I've written Adam and Jess so I'd appericate the feedback.
