Another intriguing chapter, full of so many fragments. I love all the allusions to Nine, Ten, Jack, and the TARDIS. I can't wait to see where you head with this and am really enjoying the ride.
This was wonderful. It conveys a sense of waiting and whether it was a love story from the start: “Is it a love story?” she asks.
“Oh, yes. Has been from the start.” He doesn’t know how he can be so sure of it when he still doesn’t know what’s on the written pages.
She smiles and begins unpacking the basket. “You see, I was never sure,” she tells him. “Sometimes I thought it was and other times…” She shrugs and hands him a plate. He picks out fruit and cheese and a few of the sandwiches, cut into perfect little triangles. She stares off into the distance with that lost, searching look that he remembers so well. The one that tells him she’s still waiting, that she isn’t completely here in the moment.
