Alice catches up with Dr Laver at the hospital. Why is he avoiding her?
Alice: | Oh good evening Dr Laver. |
Paul: | Alice, how are you? |
Alice: | Exhausted. Just finished another long shift. |
Paul: | Yes it’s been busy here lately. |
Alice: | I haven’t seen you for ages. You’re not avoiding me are you? |
Paul: | Oh Alice. I’ve got such a lot on just now – juggling work and the children and half-term coming up too. There’s just not enough of me to go around. I feel I’m constantly running just to stand still. |
Alice: | Oh, I know it must be difficult but I can give you a hand. I know the babysitting wasn’t great last time but I can help out in other ways. Look, how about a quick drink and we can talk about it? |
