Eddie and Rose and Open
”Ooh, someone went and got himself a swollen ego!” Rose grinned into Eddie’s shoulder before he set her back down. When Eddie had first requested to be sent off on a mission separate from the rest of their team, Rose had understood. Eddie was restless and his need to travel wasn’t being satisfied by the intricate work on the vault here in London. But when she learned about what had happened with him and Susan, she had given him her not just a piece of her mind, but as close to a Howler as a letter could be… and then she had started asking him about his mission, telling about the vault, an just catching him up on things back here. “How much did I miss you? Depends on whether you brought back anything for me.”
“He’s a wiggle,” Rose corrected him, because referring to Ant as a ‘puppy’ just seemed wrong on so many levels. “But yeah,” as Eddie dropped down to play with Ant she couldn’t help but laugh, “he was three months a couple of days ago.” Holy Helga, she was going to have a hard time getting Ant calmed down if Eddie kept this up. Then again, it seemed that Eddie actually had the patience to let Ant get it all out, and the wiggle was almost as calm as he had been before when Eddie stood back up. And her mood only brightened even more when he confirmed that he would be her for the last part of her training. “It’s going to be brilliant. You staying until the vault’s secured or just to the end of my training?”
