nevermindtherunningA continued AU from this thread.
It had been half a year since that strange night. The night where River Song walked back into his life in a whirlwind of emotions he hadn't thought of for a long, long time. The night ended in tangled sheets, skin against skin, and finding out people weren't who he thought were his friends were in fact, not. The case was closed, he watched his friend be taken away in the police cars, and grieving families get their revenge later in court.
As for the Doctor? River seemed to have disappeared as quickly as she appeared, and yet this time he oddly felt it was appropriate. Perhaps that night brought a better understanding between the two of them, or he seemed content being alone for the first time in his life.
Sitting at one of the cafes downtown of a coastal town, taking advantage of the summer's warmth, he watched the waves crash onto shore as he took a sip of the iced coffee. His legs were propped up on the empty seat next to him and he was debating about attending the local festival. Of course there was another case he was working on, but he tended to mix business with pleasure occasionally. He was reminded he become something of a workaholic, but if his investigations lead him else where? He wouldn't complain about that too much. Right now, the people watching was making the two hour trip south completely worth it.
