The Advent Calendar Drabbles
by Slantedlight

3rd December


The snow didn’t last of course, because nothing did, not in their grime-caked London. Doyle woke to rain, and their day descended into petty violence and the whine of frightened men. By the end of it, seven on the dot, Bodie had even dragged him to HQ to get their report done, because he - just – didn’t – care.

“In here,” he urged, holding Doyle’s shoulders firmly and steering him through a door. “I’ll even make you a cuppa.”

And then Bodie stood him in front of the calendar, left his hands where they were, and refused to move until Doyle smiled.

Heh. Okay, I laughed out loud at that surprise! Doyle would, absolutely, smile--and Bodie would take such delight in the whole thing. Thank you! And a happy 3rd December to you!

That's what I thought - it had to be something that really would make Doyle laugh, not just someone in a funny hat... *g* Happy 3rd December!
