"...Yes," I gasped, "Yes. he leaves at six. She'll be in bed by nine."

"I will be at your balcony five minutes past." He smirked, "Please don't keep me waiting darling" he almost whined, 

We shared another passionate kiss but we heard Miss Hardcastles' footsteps so we quickly shared one more kiss before we separated and straightened ourselves putting a good space between us and getting on with the work at hand. 

She returned and stiffened herself, "Do excuse me,"

"No problem," he nodded as he continued practising the procedure cutting apart the body before him often Jack and I met eyes doing our best to hide our smiles, I sketched and made notes while he worked for a moment as I sat watching Jack work on the body I thought for a  moment what our life will be like once we're married, to visit him at work bringing our baby in my arms to visit Jack as he worked, for the hospital to be a part of our lives. 

"It's time we get going," Miss Hardcastle spoke up, "You're father requested you be back for dinner,"

"Yes Of course," I nodded trying to hide my disappointment as I slowly packed away my bag and Jack cleaned off his hands, 

"Let me lead you lovely ladies back to the entry way at least," he smiled as he happily took my hand and led me up to the front doors and steps of the hospital into the setting sun, 

"It's been... eventful Doctor, Thank you for showing us around," She smiled,

"You're very welcome miss Hardcastle, I will try to make it less gory for your next visit," he smiled to her giving her hand a small polite kiss, before he turned his attention to me holding my hands in his, 

"It's been a pleasure Doctor Dawkins," I curtsied,

"no no pleasure has been all mine Miss Everset. You look after yourself on the way home, both of you." he smiled, "I look forward to when I next get the opportunity to be in your presence my darling," he smiled taking my hand to give it a sweet kiss and a wink, 

"As do I," I smiled,

"Come along then y/n" She said so I nodded and let her lead me down the steps away from his hands, she lead me away down the street but in my last moment I turned back and blew him a kiss which he happily blew me back as I scurried away excited for tonight,
