Chapter: Happily Ever After?Joelle"So where does this leave us?" he asked, his voice carrying a hint of uncertainty, as I took slow sips from my cup of coffee. "I don’t know," I replied, the words slipping out hastily, carrying the weight of my own confusion. "Us." The word echoed in my mind, carrying a weight that stretched far beyond its simple letters. Could there truly be an "us"? The past weeks had woven a tapestry of emotions, where he had become a haven, a sanctuary in the midst of my chaos. Each visit to him had turned into a lifeline, a respite from the challenges of reality. But was he more than that? Or was he merely that, an escape, a temporary refuge from my troubles? I felt butterflies in my stomach every time I was about to meet him. It was a familiar sensation, one that had surfaced years ago, igniting my memories and emotions. Without thinking further, I looked into his eyes, closed them, leaned closer to him and kissed him. He didn’t push me away and reciprocated. At that moment in time, it f

Chapter: Déjà vuChris Joelle's cheeks flushed as my words hung in the air like a bridge between the past and the present. In that moment, time seemed to fold back on itself, carrying me to a place of memories and emotions long buried. As she blushed I remembered what a brilliant student she had been, how I’d been unexpectedly drawn to her, the kiss we had shared and the hell that came after that. I knew it was time to apologize to her. I knew I would like never get another chance. “Joelle, I need you to hear me out,” I told her. “I’m sorry for…” I implored, my voice tinged with sincerity. My intention to apologize hovered in the air, caught between the gravity of past mistakes and the possibility of healing wounds. But before my words could find their path, she silenced me with the gentlest of gestures—two slender fingers pressed softly against my lips. Our eyes met, a silent exchange laden with emotions. There, within the depths of her gaze, I glimpsed not only pain but also a reservoir of kindness,

Chapter: The Past or the Future?I spent the next two days in self care mode. I took some time for me, something I hadn’t done in months, ever since I’d come back from Norway in fact. I organized my room, spent hours in the bath and I visited the hairdresser. I asked her to add a hint of purple to my hair, and had it cut considerably shorter. The change felt invigorating and revitalizing. After that I went for a long walk by the sea and simply sat there hearing the waves, and watching the occasional seagull. I found solace in the soothing sounds of the waves and the graceful flight of seagulls. It was a moment of tranquility, a chance to clear my mind and reflect on recent events. I thought about Jason, Norway and the previous night in the ER when Chris came in. I reflected on all that happened during the past six months. Up until a couple of weeks ago life had been good. Then I’d had that argument with Jason and my life flipped itself over. I realized that I had been so busy with work that I hadn’t really had time

Chapter: A whirlwind of emotions and a Ghost from the Past- Joelle -The first patient came in and he was passed on to the first resuscitation room where my senior, another colleague and a team of nurses were waiting for him. As soon as the first patient was transferred, the second patient was wheeled on a stretcher in the second resuscitation room. “Get started Joelle, you’ve got this. I’ll be with you ASAP,” my senior shouted from the adjacent room. Right, I thought. This is my day. The day I prove I can do this. I saw the patient coming in and in spite of him being wheeled in fast I swear I saw it happening in slow motion. Everything seemed to slow down, despite the urgency. “Forty five-ish year old male, involved in a high velocity head on collision. A and B were stable at all times. I am suspecting a femur, right lower limb externally rotated and shortened. Right upper limb severely deformed, and bleeding. Tender at T4 and T5. Also tender left upper quadrant, possible splenic trauma. Hypotensive at 100/60, tachycardic with a pulse rate

Chapter: I need some space- Jason -“That was delicious,” Joelle said as she licked her fingers. She’d eaten an entire Ftira with tuna, olives and marinated vegetables. “I’d forgotten how much I missed this,” she continued as she sipped her cola. She looked at the time. “Right, I need to run. I’ll meet you guys here as soon as I’m done,” she told us, planting a tender kiss on my lips before setting off at a brisk pace. I watched her until she was out of sight. Then turned to Kevin. “Things seem to be going well between you,” he told me. I nodded. “Rumor has it you’re a jealous guy,” he continued. “Now wait a minute…” I interrupted. He lifted his eye brows as he sipped his beer. “Is this about Aksel?” I asked him. “Hmmmm…. Yes!” he answered. “Who is the dude anyway?” I asked trying to sound less interested than I was. He took another sip, pausing for a moment before answering. “Let’s put it this way,” Kevin said. “He has absolutely no interest in Joelle. Zero. Nothing. Nada. At least not in THAT way,” he emph

Chapter: When did I get so lucky?- Jason -What was I missing in the whole sitauation? I was aware nothing romantic was going on between Aksel and Joelle, if it had, she wouldn’t have answered my call while he was there, but it pissed me off that he was there in the first place. They were obviously close, otherwise he wouldn’t have been there helping her pack! And what was the deal with Kevin? Ever since she’d moved there they had become the best of friends. There were moments before Joelle and I started seeing each other when I felt replaced. I felt like I had lost my best friend to one of my other close friends. She had become closer to him than to me. Admittedly though, I had been in a relationship at the time and I myself had restricted contact. He appeared quite comfortable around this Aksel guy too. I assumed he knew what his role in her life was. I made a mental note to ask him about him the next time we met over a beer…. Rephrase…. I made a note to interrogate him about him the next time we met over a beer.
