Chapter eight

She was still thinking about him when she woke up, she felt as though every nerve ending was on fire, and when Julia came to collect her, she asked her if she wanted to go swimming the next morning. “You might be doing more interesting things with your Saturday morning.”

“I doubt it, he’ll probably be exhausted.”

“He looks to me like a man with stamina.” Julia told her, and she decided to change the subject before she embarrassed herself.

By lunchtime her euphoria was fading, she thought about paging him, but realised how much it would hurt if he didn’t welcome her advances. So she focussed on the blood results, taking comfort in the ebb and flow of the equations and the data. Mr Patel rang the buzzer in the late afternoon, and asked to speak to Harry. Mike let him in, acquiescing instantly to his calm authority, and the elegant surgeon stopped by her desk and smiled at Belinda when she erupted out of her office, determined to take part in any conversation about the training DVD. “Do you mind if we talk in private?” he asked, and Belinda led the way into her stuffy cubicle and shut the door.

He had hoped to talk to Harry alone, but he realised how jealously Belinda guarded her little piece of power, and he knew he needed her alliance. He took a deep breath and committed himself to his unusual course of action. “Chris has been working without stopping since he came in last night, he did this in the last emergency, but he’s older now, and even he has his limits. I can get the juniors to keep things ticking over for a while and I need him back in one piece tomorrow morning.” Harry nodded at him, unsure what to say. “If I send him home will you look after him?”

Harry looked at Belinda and the older woman smiled at her, “Of course you can leave early, I owe you so much overtime, you could probably take a whole month off. All the same,” she added after a pause, “I’m really grateful to you for agreeing to come back in tomorrow.”

Harry smiled at them both and tried to ignore the apprehension building in her stomach, she wasn’t sure that she would cope very well as a distraction and a consolation for a distressed hero. “Then he’s a very lucky man.” Mr Patel said with feeling, and rose to his feet. Belinda stood up too and he smiled at her, “Please don’t worry, I know how busy you are, and I can find my own way out.”

Belinda sat back down and watching his departing figure, “Is it true that he’s single?” she asked finally. Harry looked at her for a moment, trying to focus on what she had heard.

“I think so.” She said unconvincingly, and put her hand on the wheels of her chair.

“Are you okay?” Belinda asked awkwardly, “You don’t look very excited about taking him home to bed.”

Harry took a deep breath and looked at her.
