‘I wish you hadn’t asked me that.’
‘You didn’t kill anyone, did you?’
Dan shook his head. ‘Probably worse. I dumped all over the team in Resus and walked out.’
‘Crikey. I’ll bet Lindsey Stewart was impressed—not!’
Dan grimaced.
‘Did you apologise?’
‘Not yet.’
‘Lins has the respect of the whole hospital.’ Nathan looked serious. ‘You’d better do a real grovel. Ask her for a drink after work and do it then. Properly.’
Dan felt worse and worse. He’d apologise, of course. But ask her for a drink? She’d probably turn him down flat. And he wouldn’t blame her. In the short time he’d been at Hopeton he’d hardly put himself out to get to know her or anyone else. Out of nowhere, Lindsey Stewart’s flashing green eyes seemed to challenge him. And he realised on some basic level that he wanted to get to know her. To break away from the past. He had to turn things around. ‘I shouldn’t have come to work today.’
‘Possibly not,’ Nathan agreed. ‘Just fix it, mate. Hopeton’s not so big that bad behaviour goes unnoticed.’
