010. Unwanted Receipts


Rory had always hated her job as a kissogram. Therefore, as soon as they got engaged, she ended up working at the local supermarket.

Usually midway through her evening shifts, when the night had fallen and the crowds of customers had reduced, she sketched on the back of old, unwanted receipts to pass the time.

She always ended up drawing him; with his 'floppy' hair, ridiculous bow-tie and huge, heart-warming smile.

Almost every Thursday the Doctor came and visited her. Tonight, she failed to hide her sketch away.

"Pond, my nose isn't really that big is it?"

She laughs as he pulls her into a hug, knocking over multiple reduced cans of beans in the process. When the store closes, he walks her home claiming he's 'keeping her safe from everything that lurks in the darkness'.

She let him keep that sketch; she has a thousand more in a suitcase under her bed.
