Career Girl In The Country / The Doctor's Reason To Stay - Plot & Excerpts
A vague memory slowly formed and he recalled Poppy’s phone ringing, her quietly murmured conversation, his grunted ‘Do you need me?’ And her lips on his cheek as she’d said, ‘Go back to sleep.’ But now he was awake and the green light of the bedside clock said 5:00 a.m. With a groan, he closed his eyes and as his head hit the pillow he gratefully accepted that at least it wasn’t three. He hated 3:00 a.m., when there was still so much night left and no more ability to sleep. It became a long slog, waiting for the dawn, and so as not to disturb Poppy, he’d get up and go and pace the floors at his house. His eyes shot open so abruptly that the muscles ached. He hadn’t woken up at 3:00 a.m. all this week. It’s been longer than that. He worked backwards and realised with a start that he couldn’t recall an early wake-up since he’d told Poppy about Annie, and that had been three weeks ago. With a contented sigh, he rolled over, tugging at the sheet, intending to grab one extra precious hour of sleep, but his brain, already jolted awake, buzzed with ideas for the foundation.
