[Milliways] OOM: Dovershire Chapel, London, 2006

[his_sarah_jane]

Sarah Jane had brought the guests from Milliways through to their flat in London, leaving them to James to take care of before she hurried off to the church, Barbara in tow. She had wanted to check on all the last minute arrangements: to make sure the flowers had arrived and that the minister was there.

Everything seems perfect now. The church, a small little Gothic-esque chapel close to the Notting Hill gate tube stop, is now decorated with garlands of wildflowers along the aisles. It's the one touch Sarah Jane wanted to add to an otherwise picture-perfect room. The sun shines through the stained glass windows, causing the pews to glow. The altar was simple enough, with an organ off to one side and a lovely rosette window behind it. Two bouquets sit to either side of where the couple will stand.

Overall: the impression is of a simple yet sophisticated chapel. Everything is set for the wedding, presuming, of course, nothing goes wrong.

"When we get home, then." He leans sideways, drops a quick kiss to her cheek.

"How long do you want to stay at the reception?"

She leans against his side. "Long enough to say congratulations and fulfill societal obligations."

And then split!

Bond's a friend and she's happy for him; she's getting to know Sarah Jane, and she's happy for her, too. But this is a whole lot of traveling on a pretty tired body, and she'll be glad to get home and put her feet up.

"Sounds good to me." He settles an arm around her, as best as he can. He doesn't really know Sarah Jane, and he only vaguely knows Bond, so the reception probably won't be as much fun as it could be.

"Let's not do any work tonight, hey? Just watch a holo or something."

Plourr shrugs. "Fine by me. Someone else can save the planet on my night off." She settles more comfortably under his arm, and they talk easily, banter, until the music starts.

And after that, if Plourr slips her hand into his as the bride and groom are taking their vows (because it's kind of nice, even if she doesn't want to admit it, and it reminds her a little of their wedding day) -- Rial won't tell.
