He leaned in and it felt like something sparked in the back of her mind. Something clicked. Sort of like an answer you'd been chasing all your life was answered without any words or any notion. Almost like the fairytale come to life but you were too afraid to touch it, because what if it disappeared?

Then he walked away.

Annabell rolled her shoulder slightly, turning to walk the opposite way. The flat wasn't far now. Her feet carried her a few steps before she stopped. That sense of clicking nagged at her. If you let him walk away you'll never, ever see him again. He'll be gone just like that. Five minutes ago she would of thought she was going completely mad but, she knew better now.

It was him. The Doctor. Now that name meant everything.

Annabell stepped backwards, turning to face him. In a few running strides she had closed enough of a distance between them so he could hear her talk.

"I think you need to work on your art of seduction." She raised her voice. "For a man who wants to get to the Belly? You really haven't tried hard enough. Want to try that again?"
