used to late nights, whether it was to deliver triplets or to sort out patient case notes. ‘I’d already completed an audit of all the files, so some of the piles you saw on Friday were ready for collection to be archived. As for the rest, the only reason why I hadn’t returned them to the filing cabinets was because that would have made them too heavy to move when I decorated.’
‘And you achieved the whole thing in a weekend!’ he marveled, and she didn’t correct him with details of the many weeks it had taken to do the audit in the first place. She’d been horrified to find that Donald had probably avoided auditing his files ever since he’d come to the department, and the overfilled cabinets were the reason why the current patients’ files had permanently littered the room, albeit in relatively tidy piles.
She’d actually believed that she’d been doing the tedious job for her own benefit, hoping that she’d get the appointment, but as it turned out…
‘Well, I can’t tell you how grateful I am that you went to all this trouble.’ He spread his arms to indicate the whole pristine room. ‘Not only will it be nicer—and more efficient—to work in, but it will look far more welcoming to the patients. And…’ He drew the word out, suddenly pacing across the room and back again with a determined expression on his face.
‘Yes! I thought so,’ he announced. ‘Now that you’ve removed all those boxes and piles, you’ve made enough room—if my desk is moved just a little further across—to juggle another desk in here, so you won’t have to be served with an eviction order after all.’
That was the last thing she’d expected him to say, and while her heart had suddenly taken up a faster beat at the thought of sharing this room with him on a daily basis, her reason was telling her that he would probably be such a distraction that she’d never get any work done. She’d have to do some careful juggling of her own to make sure that she only came in here when he was otherwise occupied.
