:D Hatter...silly phrase that got stuck in my head...!
"Hatter, what are you doing?"
At the sound of her voice, Hatter jumped. "Alice, love! You scared the squirrles outta me!"
Alice fought the urge to laugh as her mind produced a lovely picture of squirrles running out of him. "Why are you up drinking tea? It's 2 in the morning. Don't you think there's a better time to drink your tea? Maybe when I'm not asleep?"
He grinned. "As a wise man once said, there is no better time for tea than in the middle of the night." He sipped his cup for punctuation.
"Now, who ever would have said such a thing?" She wrapped her arms around him from behind.
"Me!" He turned, kissed her, and bounded off towards the kitchen, leaving Alice in his wake.
"Words of the Wise..." She laughed, and ran after.
