Out of theatre I had checked my phone and saw I had a text from Serena and then I noticed Alex had just got out of theatre as well.
-Good job in there and sorry about...
-It's fine, she replied, and thank you.
-Wanna go for a drink at Albies later? I said, trying to make an effort.
-Maybe not tonight, but thanks... She was upset I knew it...
-Okay... Right... I better get back to it then. I said as I left her in the hallway alone, I just walked away. Again.
After visiting all my patients, I went back to the office because I still hadn't read the text Serena had sent me:
"Hello Bern,
Glad to hear everything is in good order and that you've got back up. But not to worry I'll be back soon, I hope you've kept my desk in fine order! ;) I hope your okay, I do really miss you, it's boring here without my army medic. I'll be glad to be back.
Lots of love, Campbell x
PS: I'm expecting shiraz when I get back x"
After that my eyes started watering, it was like a bubble of glitter (and shiraz) had exploded over my head and made me the luckiest women alive for those 5 minutes.
And then suddenly Alex opened the office door very harshly:
-Right, the bloods you were wanting me to chase up...
-Jesus! Alex! Knock next time!
-Sorry... Her glaze landed on my eyes and I felt like it was an envelope, usually Serena give me that look when I'm sad or confused... Have you been crying?
-What no! I said, discretely trying to wipe a tear to stop it from rolling down my cheek.
-Bernie, what's up? She came closer with her eyes, for some reason, melting my heart making me wanting to cry even more. She hugged me, it wasn't as good as one of Serena's hugs but she wasn't here so I had to settle for this. I put my arms around her and I couldn't hear any noise coming from AAU, I could only hear her breathing and both of our hearts beating at the unison. One of hands settled it self on the back of my neck, she pulled back to stare into my eyes again and then looked at my hair with a smile:
-I've never known anyone with better looking hair than you.
Her eyes fell back on mine. And she got closer...
