Dr Stewart
Cameron was in his car, halfway between Manor Row and the hospital when it
started to rain, and about fifty yards ahead of him he spotted the distinctive
figure of Deborah Woodward walking without a coat.
He pulled up
beside her and wound down the window.
“Can I give you a
lift Doctor?” he said
“Oh yes please”
she said and got in
“It was such a
nice morning, I decided to walk, and then this happened”
“That’s April
showers for you” he said
“Indeed” she
agreed “But its May”
“Comme ci Comme ça” he
retorted
That pretty much
set the tone of the conversation and for the duration of the short trip to the
hospital, they discussed the inclemency of the weather.
“Thank you,
Stuart,” she said as they pulled up outside the entrance “Are you not coming
in?”
“No I’m going to
the Saxvirdan surgery” he replied
“Ok, see you
later” she said “Bye”
Before he pulled away, he
called after her
“If it’s raining when you
finish give a call and I’ll pick you up”
“Bless you Stuart”
Despite their best efforts
for their meal in St Pierre not to be a date, they enjoyed each other’s company
enough to want to do it again.
However on Monday afternoon
Victoria and Elisa left the island as George and Katie were taking them on a
sightseeing tour for a week, so dinner at the Gondolier would have to wait a
while.
It was raining when Deborah
finished her shift, so she took Stuart up on his offer and phoned him and then
after he picked her up, they had supper together.
