He was told that the bandages would stay on until the following day.

Apparently the eye operation had gone well. With any luck he’d be back in the office next week. He figured it would be visiting time soon. Shortly after he heard movement and chatter. Family and friends arriving, no doubt. He heard her approach and move the chair. She took his hand. They’d had words on the previous visit and it hadn’t ended well. The whole thing had been blown up out of proportion. However, he’d given a lot of thought to the issue and had decided to explain. Nothing was said for a while, then he began.

“I’ve been thinking, you’re probably right. I shouldn’t have kissed her. It was only a peck on the cheek, but I was grateful that she’d gone to the trouble of seeing that the parcel got delivered OK. After all, she could have marked it as ‘return to sender’ and been done with it. Instead, she’d carried it all the way down to our place and delivered it personally. It was just a spur of the moment thing.” He fell silent for a moment. “I know, it was broad daylight and anybody could have been watching, but…” He felt his hand squeezed a little tighter and broke off.

The nurse spoke for the first time. “How are you feeling now?”

He went cold. “Oh! Sorry nurse.”

Although he couldn’t see her, he heard the smile in her voice.

“Oh! Don’t apologise, this happens from time to time. To be honest, I’ve always regarded it as one of the perks of the job.”
