Summary: The poor woman has had quite a shock.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Double drabble.
The young woman wiped at red, teary eyes with a sodden handful of tissues, smudging her mascara and eyeliner, and choked back a sob. “I kept telling myself I must be wrong, I was imagining things, because he was always so nice to me, so polite, and I liked him. He was so different from the other blokes I’ve dated…” She gave a shaky laugh. “Well, I was right about that part, wasn’t I?”
Ianto patted her hand comfortingly. “Why don’t you just tell us what happened?”
She nodded with a watery smile. “We’ve been dating for three months, and… Well, I kept asking him to spend the night, but he always said it was still too soon, but then last night we were sitting on the sofa, watching a movie, and I guess we fell asleep, and this morning I woke up and he was… he was…” She giggled slightly hysterically. “You’ll think I’m crazy.”
“I assure you we won’t.”
“Well, I woke up and he was muttering something about needing to recharge, and when I looked at him… He was all scaly blue skin and forked tongue! I didn’t want to believe it, but I’m dating an alien!”
The End
