Everything Ross is saying to her is so kind, so sweet, and she knows he must be truly worried for him to be saying such things. It isn't that her husband isn't capable of showing love and affection, quite the opposite, in fact, and it's his affection that's gotten her into this state to begin with, but Ross is better with actions and gestures than he is with words. At first Demelza had struggled with that, she'd had difficulty understanding what he meant when he looked at her the right way, always instead expecting him to tell her how he feels.

So there are times when the words come, but she finds it tends to be in moments of great stress and right now it almost makes her laugh. Almost. Because the ambulance is quite frightening and as she's wheeled toward it, the female attendant touches her arm gently.

"We're going to need you to hang up your call," she says softly. "We need to take your information and you'll have to give us some answers before we get you to the hospital. Is it your husband on the line with you?"

Demelza nods, looking fearful.

"Tell him we'll have you there in no time and there's nothing at all to be worried about."

"Ross?" Demelza asks. "Did 'ee hear her? I must let you go, but they shall have me at the hospital straight away and there's nothing to worry about."
