CHAPTER SIX

SHE WAS DEFINITELY starting to feel better. The view from her bedroom window had stopped looking so alien to her. She’d started to enjoy standing on the balcony and listening to the sounds from below at night instead of pining for her view of fields with an occasional sheep’s baa.

She enjoyed both the swimming pool and gym within the apartment complex, and Louie was practically her best friend. He even put her food deliveries from a supermarket in her apartment for her, taking care to put essentials in the fridge.

As for Joshua? She wasn’t entirely sure what was happening there. A few more weeks had passed. She wasn’t embarrassed at all by their kiss. It had sent a whole host of sensations whirling around her body. Most of all it made her feel alive again.

Joshua was hard to read. He wasn’t avoiding her. He didn’t seem embarrassed either. But neither of them had even admitted the event had happened. Though, for some strange reason, it seemed to have helped break the underlying tension between them.

He was a bit easier around her, talking to her more like a friend, rather than a stranger who’d sneaked into his department. That, in turn, had helped her relax a bit more. She didn’t need to prove herself at every turn. Three days ago she’d had another baby with intussusception, and this time she hadn’t second-guessed herself—wondering if she was seeing symptoms that weren’t there. The baby had been diagnosed by her in A&E, assessed by the surgeon and taken to Theatre within two hours of entering the hospital. All without any complications. She’d spent most of the next day hanging around little Abe and tickling his toes. For a baby who had required major surgery he’d been in a surprisingly good mood when he’d come around and made a rapid recovery, eating and drinking normally within a few days.

Joshua had appeared once or twice at her shoulder and given her a reassuring smile, but nothing more.

Part of her was entirely comfortable, and part of her had a longing for more. Her brain frequently told her that maybe he’d just been feeling sorry for her, but the cells in her body remembered his response. It hadn’t felt like any kind of sympathy kiss—instead it had felt like a compressed well of passion. One that she wouldn’t have minded exploring a bit further…

But she had taken one step forward. She’d finally pressed send on the email to the IVF clinic, making enquiries about treatment options and using donor sperm. It had felt monumental to her, even though it was a basic enquiry. Once she had all the information she could think again. And that made her feel good—good she’d made the decision, and good that she was thinking about what came next. Life wasn’t just the place she was now; life was also the world of possibilities in front of her.

It was Saturday, and the day stretched before her. She was toying with the idea of being a tourist for the day.
