Better Than the Universe
Rose lay in bed, staring out the window into the starry night sky. Next to her, she could feel his heart – one heart, not two – beating and the warmth of his body next to hers. He was breathing quietly, yet not quiet enough to betray sleep.
"Jus' look a' tha': the whole of the universe outside there."
He stirred and turned to face the window just like she did.
"Don' you sometimes miss it, Doctor?" She still called him Doctor, even though he wasn't. Not really.
"Miss what?"
"The universe. Travelling through time and space, everywhere and anywhere?"
"And any time", he added.
"Yeah", she conceded. "Don' you miss that?"
He shrugged, though invisible in the dark.
"Sometimes. But I got something better now."
"Better than the whole of the universe?"
He kissed her cheek.
"Much better."
