Advent Drabble 8 - For ohfortuneslost
The lights in the control room were dim, and Rose wondered if the Doctor had gone out. “Hello?” she called.
“In here!” his voice drifted from the hallway.
“Why are all the lights off?” she was asking as she entered the nearest room.
Which turned out to be their bedroom, flickering with dozens of candles, flooded with roses.
“Hello,” he said, handing her a flute of champagne.
Rose looked beyond him, to the meal laid out on a small table that had appeared in front of their fireplace. “What…is this?” she managed.
He smiled. “Your birthday.”
“You remembered!”
He winked.
