"I'm heading over that way now. I need to ensure that the construction workers haven't been drinking too much coffee...if you catch my drift." As Alex perked her eyebrow in amusement, she shook her head. "It's been a total nightmare modernising that place. Still, you should love it. Everything is shiny new. I'm half tempted to move you out, and move myself in." The mayor removed her hat, shoving it into the pocket of her hoody before turning to the new doctor. "Have you got a lot to carry? It's only over the street." The deputy handed Alex the piece of paper that now held all three signatures, which she immediately shoved rather unceremoniously back into said pocket. Down to earth was as understatement for this woman.

As the blonde turned, she stifled a small yawn. It had been an early morning, spent in the freezing cold opening the towns new sporting ground. Big investments had been made over the last year, and the benefit were starting to show, especially tourism. The town had some beautifully old buildings, and areas of outstanding natural beauty that were steeped in Native American history. Even though it was small, Alex wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

"So, shall we head over there now? You can help me kick some construction worker ass." Michael the deputy took this moment to wave his farewell and disapeared into the kitchenette directly behind his desk. Alex had no doubt in her mind that there would be a doughnut involved. The deputy did like his pastries. With a flick of her dark green eyes, she focused once again on Jonathan as she started to walk. "Did you have a nightmare drive?"
