drabble seven - sadness, starring our Noble heroine and John Watson from Sherlock.
She arrives at the graveyard after Sherlock's funeral.
Donna sees him from a distance, just standing there - not moving, not speaking, nothing. It's as though John Watson is reading and rereading the epitaph over and over.
Frowning, she approaches him, stopping close enough to read it herself.
"He was a good man, you know," says John, not looking up from the headstone. Donna nods silently.
She looks over at him and sees him bite his lip. Feeling helpless to make him feel better, Donna wraps her arms around him. She doesn't know if it helps, or if she just invaded his personal space and made him feel worse. But she hugs him, and hopes for the best.
