    Summary

    John closes the door to his office and sags against the wood, one hand instinctively fixing his bow tie as he lets out a deep breath before shaking himself. He’s being ridiculous. He’s dealt with parents all his career—angry parents, grateful parents, gorgeous, model parents—and none have rattled him. But then, none have also been her. Deep down, he thinks he's known from the moment he saw her. Not necessarily that she was the object of the case he’s working, though he's fairly well convinced now, but that it was her, his her. The girl he's been searching for for years. The girl he never forgot.

    Summary

    It’s not unusual to be propositioned by the resort guests. It happens at least once a week, much to his chagrin—always with a drunken smirk and a well-placed tip, like he can be bought for an extra few pounds. But there’s something different in the way she’s asking, the teasing lilt to her voice—like she knows, like she’s mocking them, not him, and while he has very little doubt she would and could eat him alive if so inclined, there’s something else. Something deeper. He’s been here a year, and become an expert in recognising sadness and shame—it rolls off people here in waves. Bad business decisions, complicated affairs—but it’s different, with her. Darker. There’s a caution in the way she moves, an edge to her voice that he’s never heard before, and it makes him curious. Draws him in.

    He intends to say no. Intends to turn her down flat and go back to his business and forget all about the strange encounter, but instead what he blurts out is, “I don’t even know your name.”

    Her expression softens, like it’s one of the most heartfelt things anyone’s ever asked her. Moving back toward the bar, she holds out a hand. “River,” she says. “River Song.”

    Without thinking, he shakes her hand.
