Love You, Thank You
"I love you!"
"What!?"
"God, I love you!"
He is still staring at her slack-jawed, when she bounds forwards and slams him against the wall.
Her arms somehow tangle around him in the process – he isn't quite sure how – and she buries her head in his shoulder for a moment.
She inhales loudly as she pulls back to look at him and arousal flutters like electricity through his entire body, making his stomach turn over and his hearts flip.
"You what?" he repeats dumbly.
"I love you!" she professes again. Loudly. She grins at him.
"I…uh…thank you?" he tries.
Her eyes glimmer magically at him. "No, thank you, Doctor. The necklace you gave me is absolutely stunning!" She raises a hand – he misses the loss of her warmth on his skin immediately – and traces a finger over the chain around her neck.
"Oh," he says, the situation dawning on him. "Oh!"
She quirks an eyebrow.
"Well then," he covers awkwardly. "I'm delighted that you like it so much."
"Oh yes!" Grinning, she leans in and presses a chaste kiss to the corner of his mouth. She moves away from him just as quickly and moves off the way she came. "Thank you," she says again. "I love it!"
He nods silently and smiles as she disappears from sight. "I'm glad."
