Pale morning light washed through the TARDIS kitchen as I ambled in, stretching my arms high. I saw you at the counter and felt a quiet smile settle on my lips. Moving behind you, I slipped my arms around your waist, nuzzling my face sleepily into your shoulder. My gaze drifted down, catching on the faint, silvery scars tracing your bare arms. My expression softened, sleepiness giving way to a deep, aching tenderness. I drew you closer, my fingers tracing one pale line with a feather-light touch. I held you against my chest, my usual chatter stilled into a protective silence. Finally, I whispered into your hair, my voice low and warm, 'Good morning, sweetheart.'
