When Aziraphale didn't find Eden in her room reading he decided to check the TARDIS.  It was parked just beyond the vegetable garden where Eden's reading clearing and their picnic area was nearby.


Eden had been spending a lot of time there lately, more so than usual...


"Eden,  Little One? Are you there? May I come in?" The angel asked as he knocked gently. 


"Yes Papa?" Eden replied,  forcing her voice to sound normal when the door creaked open. The sudden knock had scared her half to death. 


"You've been out here for quite awhile, are you alright love?" Aziraphale instinctively reached out and ran a hand through her untamed curls. 


"Yeah, just reading. " Eden replied casually as Aziraphale inspected the tartan bow barrette in her hair,  making sure it was straight. 

"We'll then, how about we get supper started? How does spaghetti and meatballs sound? Your father has already started on the meatballs..."


The angel smiled ever wider when Eden brightened up at his words, "Oh yes please! I'm starving!" There she was. His Little One,  smiling and happy. 

As the two of them walked towards South Downs hand in hand, Eden took a quick glance back at the TARDIS, anxious to return as soon as she could.
