She blinked twice and hastily tempered her horrified expression.

“I didn’t expect to see you here.”

“I didn’t expect to be here,” he replied. “Eleanor suggested it at lunchtime. I had nothing else planned, so…”

“So you came.”

He nodded and glanced over her shoulder. “I think she’s found one of her Healer chums. Doesn’t he work on the Dai Llewellyn ward?”

Turning to follow his gaze she said, “Yes, that’s Tim Flower. Remember I told you he’s been providing blood samples from patients?”

The floor creaked as he moved to stand beside her.

“Your latest squeeze, so I’ve heard.”

“We’ve had dinner a few times, and Friday nights, after work, we go to the pub,” she snapped. “Why am I even telling you? It’s really none of your business!”

Torches burned merrily in their wall-mounted sconces. The atmosphere was warm with beer, pipe smoke and chatter. In the midst of it all, two figures froze.

“Eleanor collects teddy bears,” he eventually murmured with a sideways look that spoke volumes. “It’s not serious.”

She stared back at him. “Better than a student crush, though.”

“A hopeless devotion.”

“Pining away.”

“Lonely and heartsore.”

They both snorted disparagingly.

The discussion was over.
