Title: "Cleaning Up"
Rating: G
Author's Note: directly after Reichenbach.
The only thing she knew to do was clean.
She opened the door and saw the books on the floor, the papers strewn across the desk—smelled that nasty snuff he insisted on smoking. His violin sat on the sideboard. To think, she had actually chided him for waking her up in the night playing it.
The magnifying glass undid her. She cradled it to her chest, holding back the sobs that threatened. A noise startled her. She looked up to see the Doctor in the doorway, the light gone from his eyes. She knew it had also left her own.
