Shopping

It was snowing on London. John and Rose went window-shopping, hoping to find the ideal gifts. The windows were decorated especially for Christmas. With Santas, Christmas tree and lights everywhere, people were getting into the Christmas spirit. Rose and John stopped in front of a toy store that put toy cars on display. For the past few weeks, Tony developped a passion for cars and Rose knew she was going to find the perfect gift for her little brother.

'Let's meet later,' John said. 'That way you'll have time to choose the gift for your brother.

'Do you want to get rid of me to buy my gift ?'

'I already know what I'll offer you. It's just that I want to improve my sonic and I want to see what they sell. '

He took his sonic screwdriver out of his pocket.

'It'll be boring,' he said.

He knew that Rose had not believed him, but it was out of the question that he spoiled the surprise he was preparing for her. It would be two years that he was living with Rose in Pete's world and he thought it was time for their relationship to move on to the next level.

He came in a jewelery store he found a few days ago and looked at the jewels on display in the window. He drew his attention on the rings.

'Can I help you ?'

John looked at the jeweler who was standing in front of him.

'I would like to buy an engagement ring.'

John looked at each ring carefully. He wanted to find the perfect ring for Rose. That's when he saw it. It was a white gold ring set with a diamond. It was both sober and elegant. It was perfect. John had decided to do his proposal on Christmas Eve. He could imagine the life he will have with Rose. Their children, their future home and the adventures they will live. He got out of the jewelery store, the ring hiding in his coat pocket. He saw Rose waiting for him in front of the toy store.

'Did you find something ?' Rose asked.

John shook his head. He had to be sure Rose knew nothing about it.

'No,' he said. 'There was nothing interesting.'

John took Rose's hand in his and they were on the way back home. John could only think of one thing. He was eager to be on Christmas Eve.
