After visiting hours were over on Willow ward,
and Oliver and Kriszsie had gone Aoife had one further visitor, ER nurse
Tim Blake,
who had attended to her in A&E after the accident.
“Hello Aoife”
He was 34 years old, medium height, slim build
with thinning straw-coloured hair and grey eyes and he popped in to see her a
few times since she was admitted, he didn’t stay long, but she was grateful,
and she liked him, he made her laugh.
“Hi Tim, why are you still here this late, wasn’t
your shift over hours ago?”
“I’ve been visiting my sister in maternity, I’m
an uncle”
“Congratulations” Aoife said
“Thank you” he said and smiled broadly
“Now I have some good news for you, but you
didn’t hear it from me, but rumour has it they are discharging you tomorrow” he
said in a hushed whisper
“Thank God, I miss my own bed, my wide screen TV
and my wine rack” she said and laughed
“I shall miss our little chats though”
“Me too, but I’ll see you when you come in to have cast removed
hopefully” he said and took a pen from his pocket and wrote his phone number on
her cast
“Give me a text when
you have an appointment” he said
“Perhaps we could grab
a coffee if I'm working that day”
“Yes, I'd like that”
“Great, I'll say
goodnight then”
“Ok, night Tim”
She was feeling quite pleased with herself after he had gone, firstly because she was going home the next day and second because he invited her for a coffee date.
