WHO: River Song & The Doctor (13) WHERE: River’s assigned flat. WHEN: Shortly after River’s arrival. WARNINGS: TBA! SPOILERS? TBA!
Once she realized the Doctor was here, River knew it was only a matter of time before her husband-now-wife came looking for her. Some things never changed, regardless of what face the Doctor wore. She gave it minutes, at most.
Suspecting her wife had at least as much energy as she had in her chin and bowtie days, River took the liberty of cracking open the door to her assigned flat. She left the door to her own room standing open completely. The fewer obstacles between the Doctor and her goal, the better for everyone. And if she were being completely honest, she was rather impatient for a proper reunion, herself.
After 24 years, she’d gotten accustomed to having her husband at her side. Then she’d had to say goodbye, for what she’d thought might be the last time. This time was a gift she hadn’t been expecting. She couldn’t wait to explore everything there was to learn about her wife, the similarities and differences each new regeneration brought.
Her senses tingled in an all too familiar way, but she let the Doctor make it into the room before looking up, only just keeping her gaze from wandering. “Hello, Sweetie.”
