Dr Cartwright,’ she murmured.
It scored her a couple of laughs but also, she hoped, delivered her message loud and clear. Friendship had its limits.
Brent heard it loud and clear. Obviously being friends didn’t entail anything too familiar.
Fine by him.
But still, as the report progressed he realised how hard it was going to be in reality to ignore their history. He was super-conscious of her. Of knowing that beneath her tailored trousers and cotton shirt lay very familiar territory.
He remembered what she looked like naked.
How she liked to be touched.
And what she sounded like when she came.
It may have been twenty years but those memories were still just as potent today. He’d forgotten nothing.
‘So what time is the ultrasound booked for the suspected gall bladder?’ Grace asked the night reg.
Brent, who hadn’t realised he’d tuned out, dragged his mind out of Grace’s underwear and tuned back in to the handover. Hopefully, seeing Grace regularly like this—at work, as colleagues, in a non-sexual way—would blunt those old memories.
Hopefully, they’d eventually dissipate altogether.
Hopefully.
It took all of Grace’s willpower to block out Brent’s presence in her peripheral vision but once she had, she found herself enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of the handover. Her new colleagues stopped every now and then to have a joke or throw in an anecdote.
The department was in its early morning lull so there was no need to rush. Not every morning was like this so it was great to be able to take their time when they could.
Brent joined in with his own witty observations and Grace could see how respected he was. The junior doctors deferred to him and he was generous with his support and knowledge. But he also challenged them to think laterally and to look outside the box when answers were elusive.
And he was liberal with praise, murmuring, ‘Good catch,’ when an apparent case of heartburn at two in the morning had been correctly diagnosed as an impending myocardial infarction.
