Andy checked on the few hospitalised patients, and the elderly people who lived in the annexe, as the town was too small for a separate retirement village or nursing home.

He had appointments in Outpatients from ten-thirty, but until then he had far too much time on his hands. Too much time to think about Ellie, and whether they could get back together again.

Remembering the kisses they’d shared on the veranda, he guessed she was as desperate as he was to sort something out.

Yet he’d shied away from the kiss he’d planned for the camellia bush.

Afraid he might be pushing things too fast?

Afraid—

What was he afraid of?

He couldn’t answer that thought, although he realised that, somewhere in his head, he’d written off their marriage—had decided it was over.

He’d hurt the woman he loved with his cruel words, could still hurt her if their conversation in the park was anything to go by.

For a long time it seemed that every word he’d spoken had been a brick in the wall he’d—they’d?—built between them, and he had no idea how to break it down.

Had he stopped loving her?

Andy shook his head as much to clear it as by way of an answer.

Because he knew the answer, and had probably known it all along.

A resounding no!

Ellie was in his blood, and bones, as much a part of him as a limb...

He loved her with every fibre of his being, yet somehow they’d pummelled each other with words until they’d had to part before the damage to both of them became more severe.

But now?

He banged his hand on the desk, causing the piles of paperwork to flutter into an untidy mess. The bang had been one of frustration at not being able to see a clear path ahead for the two of them, but the fluttering had reminded him of what he should be doing, which was some of the never-ending paperwork that came with the job.

A call from Becky, on duty in the ED, saved him from both useless thoughts and paperwork. There had been a traffic accident at a crossing ten kilometres out of town, and the ambulance was already on its way.

Aware they’d send a status report as soon as they’d summed up the situation, Andy went through to the ED to ensure they were prepared for a number of casualties.

He’d barely walked in when the information came clearly from their radio.

Two vehicles, a sedan and a ute, with three injured and a second ambulance on its way. The police were in attendance.
