The Woman Behind Them Shoes

2.

Suddenly Zoe popped her head round the door.
"Connie, we need you!" She said, the panic clear in her voice.
"Coming." Connie replied. "Right, what have we got?"
"Fire at the local school, 25 injured in total. 6 majors. ETA, 7-9 minutes."
"Right, everyone gather round! We need to clear as much space as possible. Lofty, Robyn, Ethan and Lily, you work in cubicles. Dylan, Jacob, Zoe, Rita, Tess, Charlie and Cal, resus with me please." The Clinical Lead ordered.
"Are you alright?" Zoe asked her, suspiciously.
"Yeah, I'll tell you later." She replied, trying to avoid the conversation for now.

"Right, I need a chest drain in here and then she can be sent up to Peads." She commanded, a sense of power returning to her voice.
"Where are we at with your patient Zo?"
"Not good, 78% burns and a large amount of smoke inhaled. I also think he has a murmur?"
"Right. We'll get Elliot Hope down to look at him now. Lofty, could you arrange for that to happen?"
"Yes, he will." Zoe interrupted, answering for Lofty. "And now that most patients are sorted, you can tell me what's wrong!"
Connie rolled her eyes dramatically. She knew this was to come, Zoe always played detective with her moods. Saying that, she did the same to her.
They walked into the office that they shared and instantly sat on the couch.
"Right, what's up?" Zoe asked.
"I'm falling..." I replied, hoping I didn't have to spell it out to her.
"Cal?" She presumed, nodding her head.
"What? How did you know??"
"I've seen how you look at him. And how he looks at you!"
"Then what should I do, it's driving me crazy, I can't go a hour without thinking about him, I cannot work with him on patients without fearing I'm getting distracted."
"Tell him, right now in fact I'll send him in!"
Before Connie could stop her Cal was stood infront of her, wondering what he'd done wrong this time.
"I think I know why I'm here." Cal stated, wanting to get it out of the way. "Look, I know I took an extra 20 minutes off at lunch but my neighbour asked me to look after her dog and I needed to feed it...."
"Stop!" Connie interrupted him. "Even though you really shouldn't of done that, it's not the reason your here."
Connie wandered to the window in her office and slowly closed the blinds. This was too personal to share with the rest of the ED.
She turned back to Cal, who looked really confused at the clinical leads behaviour.
"Right, I'm just going to say this and I need no interruptions. I think I'm falling... for you."
