‘You look like you had a hard night.’

‘Yeah…’ Teo pushed the button that controlled the pedestrian crossing on this main intersection. ‘I should have been a psychologist, shouldn’t I?’

‘There’s certainly something to be said for a nine-to-five job.’ John Allen’s smile for his neighbour was sympathetic. ‘Hope it wasn’t anything too traumatic that kept you up.’

‘Car crash at midnight. Pregnant woman and three kids involved. Woman ended up going into labour so I hung around to make sure the baby was OK.’

‘Was it?’

‘Fortunately, yes. Few weeks prem but he should be fine. Hey…Luke…’ He turned to greet the man who’d joined them. ‘Did you get any sleep?’

‘Not enough.’

He didn’t look too bothered by it but Luke didn’t look bothered by much these days. Still on cloud nine, obviously, thanks to the effects of being so much in love with Lily. Teo didn’t see either of them much these days. They stayed out on Luke’s farm unless the traffic was too awful or Luke was kept too late, as he had been last night.

The buzzing sound and green signal to cross propelled the men into movement. ‘What time did you get in?’ John asked Teo.

‘’Bout 4 a.m. Would you believe I found Finn Kennedy on the fire escape stairs? Looked like he’d been doing a circuit class or something.’

‘He likes keeping fit.’

‘I like keeping fit, too, but not at that time of night.’

They walked in silence for half a block. The grey sky seemed to be pressing down on Teo and if it rained, it would get cold. Not like in the islands. Alisi had gone home again yesterday and had made him promise to persuade Zoe to go to Samoa for a visit. Would John think that was a good idea? Should he even be talking to a colleague about a patient he had a personal interest in? Certainly not when Luke was there, even if he was a good mate. The interest he had in John’s patient was confusing enough, without helpful mates pushing him in a direction he knew it would be unwise to go.

He’d had other things on his mind this morning, anyway.

‘What is it with Finn?’ he found himself asking. ‘How can he handle his patients so well when his interpersonal relationships with everybody else are so bad?’

‘You want a professional opinion?’

‘Absolutely.’

John grinned. ‘I think he has issues.’

‘Hey…I could have told you that and I’m just a paediatrician.’

‘I could have told you that, too,’ Luke put in. ‘He walked out in the middle of surgery a few weeks ago and left me to carry on. And Evie said something, too.’

‘Oh?’ Teo was well distracted from thinking about Zoe now and that had to be a good thing. Maybe he was going to find out what that odd undercurrent he’d sensed in Emergency between Finn and Evie was all about.

‘She was worried about him.’

‘Evie doesn’t strike me as a worrying type,’ John put in.
