Once they reached the bed Reinette reached behind her, never once letting her eyes leave the Doctor as she fumbled sightlessly for the sheers. It made sense to look for what she needed, but there was something in his gaze she could not pull away from.
Fingers curling over the silver handles, she lifted the sheers and slipped them carefully between their two bodies. For all that they were needed, she fought not to think of them as an intruder, and unwanted. Salted by his sweat and seasoned by his hurt, they were still connected in ways Reinettee wished to understand more.
But they could not go through the rest of their time together wearing a sheet. With one careful turn of her wrist, Reinette set them both free.
