Mitch ignored the first part of her question – it was something he wasn’t prepared to answer yet.

‘Beirut.’

‘Pardon?’

‘It was Beirut, not China.’

‘Oh, sorry. Everything….’ She paused, his words sinking in like a lead balloon. ‘Hold on a mo, isn’t that always in the news, isn’t that a war….?’

‘A war zone? Yep.’ He threw her a smile. ‘but I’m back with all my parts intact, apart from my appendix that is – however as I lost that when I was five I couldn’t very well expect anything else now could I?’ He didn’t want to think about the emergency surgery he’d had to perform in the middle of nowhere on a bomb disposal expert with a head full of shrapnel. He didn’t want to think about the fact he’d just gone thirty six hours without sleep so that he could return a day early, and all because he couldn’t think of anything other than the girl in front of him. If he hadn’t been called away even now they’d be a couple instead of standing around in the no man’s land of pre-relationship hell.

He focused in on her anxious smile – her anxious smile that gave him the confidence he needed to continue instead of bolting back to the safety and security of his car interior. He didn’t know how she felt about him, indeed if she even liked him a little. It was all very well Sorcha telling him he was in with a chance, it wasn’t her pride standing here waiting to be squished by an awkward glance, or a misplaced word.

‘Here - let me help you with that.’ He picked up her bike with one hand and her rucksack with the other before carrying them to her front door. ‘I was going to pick you up from the hospital but my flight got delayed.’

‘Oh, you shouldn’t be here, aren’t you jet lagged or something?’

He shook his head briefly before placing his hands on her shoulders.

‘I was sorry to have missed our meal. I was really looking forward to it.’

‘That’s alright. Work comes first.’

He cradled her face in the palm of his hand, wishing she’d look him in the eye.

‘Liddy, work never comes first.’ Glancing down he noted her pupils were as large as saucers. He’d really have liked to check her pulse just to make sure she liked him but he didn’t think she’d go for it.

‘May I?’
