Lunch was rushed. Lunch was always a rush; Ottilie was used to that. After
bolting the last of her tuna salad, she snapped the lid on the sandwich box
shut and was about to hurry back to the ward when her phone started to
ring. Breaking into a smile as her gaze fell on the photo of a dark-haired,
handsome man in a police uniform wearing a cheeky smile that she knew
only too well, she swiped to answer.

‘I’ve got thirty seconds,’ she said, trying to sound stern but still smiling,
‘so this had better be good.’
‘It is. How do you feel about trying that new Thai restaurant later?’
‘I thought it was all booked up?’
‘It was, but I had to call there to give the premises the once-over after
their alarm went off and I may have told them it was my tenth wedding
anniversary and that we didn’t have plans. As you can imagine, they were
horrified.’
‘And so they found you a table? Without you even having to ask?’
‘OK, I may have asked. And I may have played a little on the fact that
I’d just saved their business.’
‘Had anyone actually broken in?’
‘Well, no, but…’
Ottilie’s smile spread further still. ‘Some might see this as very dodgy
behaviour, Constable Oakcroft.’
‘They might. Or they might see a man who adores his beautiful wife so
much that he’ll move heaven and earth to give her a lovely night out at a
restaurant he knows she’s been dying to try for her anniversary. Especially
as he feels so guilty for not having time to get anything else.’
‘I told you I didn’t need a gift.’
‘You might not need one, but you deserve one. You deserve to be
showered with gifts, but will a night at the Thai restaurant do for now?’
‘I suppose I could eat some tom yum soup. And maybe some pad thai.
Or a panang curry. Or—’
‘We’ll order the whole bloody menu if you want it.’
‘Well, I wouldn’t order the whole menu, because being too full is no
good for any kind of physical exertion…’
‘So salad it is then.’
Ottilie giggled. ‘I could manage a bit more than that. It sounds amazing.
Yes please. And then you can have your present when we get home.’
‘Can’t wait. I know sometimes it’s hard living with me and sometimes I
bring my work home, and sometimes I’m a pain in the arse, but I do love
you more than life itself, Mrs Oakcroft, and can’t tell you how grateful I am
that you agreed to take me on. I’m a work in progress after all, and possibly
a lifelong one at that.’
‘Ditto to all that, Mr Oakcroft,’ Ottilie replied, laughing again. ‘I’ll see
you later for our hot date.’
‘I’ll be thinking of nothing else for the rest of the day.’
‘Me too.’
Ottilie ended the call and went to the mirror in the staffroom to tidy her
bun. She was still smiling as she smoothed a caramel strand of hair into a
grip. Her thoughts went to the new restaurant she’d been desperate to try, to
a well-deserved romantic dinner and to what might follow, and her tummy
