CHAPTER SEVEN

It was as though a conspiracy was in place and any time he wanted to kiss this amazing woman, a buzzer or phone would go off. This time was no different, with the walkie-talkie choosing that moment to hiss with static as a message was relayed.

The noise startled Stephanie, causing her to jump, effectively breaking their kiss. Oliver stood and pulled out the radio as David spoke.

'The patients are on their way to the hospital and the winches are on their way down to you. Make sure all equipment is secure and harnessed to you.'

'Will do.'

'Call when you're ready to come up, and keep the channel open while you're on the winch.'

'Copy that.' Oliver replaced the walkie-talkie in his pocket and looked down at Steph. 'Interrupted again.' He smiled and shook his head. 'I can't seem to cut a break.'

. She laughed, amazed at how comfortable she felt after such an intense moment. It was as though he knew she needed a sense of normalcy, and humour was good at providing that.

'When we get back to the hospital, please, go home and try and enjoy what's left of your day off. I know there's still heaps of paperwork to get through but I'll cope until tomorrow.'

'But what about Inga and Utta? You don't want me to follow through?'

He took her hand in his and squeezed. 'Enjoy the rest of the day and relax. I'll be working you hard enough, and goodness knows when you'll get another day off.'

'Does this mean you're conceding? You'll do the rosters?'

'You have to win the bet first.'

'It's in the bag.'

'So confident but you forget, I know Mrs Dixon and you don't.'

'Ah, but I have an ace up my sleeve.'

'And what, pray, is that?' He stood there with his hands on his hips, very sure of himself, but there was no way Stephanie was going to lose this bet and she'd take every advantage she had. Standing on tiptoe, she quickly leaned in and kissed him before whispering against his' mouth, 'I know the perfect place to take her. She won't be able to resist.'

'Well, I certainly can't,' he said, and captured her mouth with his, returning the favour of her surprise kiss.

The sound of the winch grew louder and Oliver groaned, breaking the contact. 'See? Something always interrupts us.'

Stephanie giggled, feeling happy.
