Summary: You know what she's going to say. It's what they all say
Written for the most recent round of the drabble_las contest, to a completely neutral response ;) The prompt was calm before the storm.
Escapism
You stroll through the market with her, offering her delicacies, showing her trinkets. She takes your hand, and you know what she’s going to say. It’s what they all say.
“I’m gonna stay with you forever, Doctor.”
“They keep trying to split us up, but nothing ever will.”
Any other time, you’d shiver, but not today. Today’s safe. Today you can pretend it’s really true. Nothing’s gonna separate you.
There’s a storm coming. But not today.
You squeeze her hand, giving her a beaming smile. One you actually mean.
She’s right. Nothing bad is gonna happen - at least, not today.
