Kyra 125 ‘Yeah. The hero’s best friend.’ The corner of his mouth crinkled, and he leaned his own chin on the armrest, a few inches from her own. ‘The one who never gets the girl.’ ‘Thought that was him.’ ‘Like I said, I wouldn’t know’ For a moment, the layers weren’t there: his eyes were sad, nothing else but sad and lonely. Eventually he was going to kiss her. Inevitable as water going down the plughole. ‘So,’ said Sam, ‘what would she do now?’ He raised an eyebrow. ‘After she’d got you to bare your soul.’ He snorted. ‘She’d be so bloody understanding.’ ‘Yeah,’ she laughed. ‘Yeah, sounds like her. “I feel your pain”, right?’ ‘You got it. Why would she want to feel my pain? I don’t want to feel my pain.’ He settled back against the sofa. Their fingers were still gently interlocked. ‘Well I won’t make that mistake, then,’ she said. ‘Nah, don’t worry, you’re doing fine. Course, you are doing exactly what she’d be doing. Getting me to talk my lips off’ ‘For someone who doesn’t want to talk about it,’ said Sam, ‘you’ve certainly turned talking about not wanting to talk about it into a great chance to talk about it.’ She reached out and ruffled his hair. ‘My ghastly secret, revealed,’ he said. ‘Come on, let’s get some sleep.’ The Doctor stopped with the key in the lock. The house was one of San Francisco’s painted ladies, one of a row of slender homes, their Victorian ornamentation and their window edges painted pristine white. The front door was reached from the street by a flight of steps, a yellowish light burning above the entrance. He had left his companions sleeping at Kyra’s house. They needed the rest, but the intense attack had left him full of nervous energy. And curiosity, about something Kyra had said. He shouldn’t quite be here. But that seldom stopped him from going anywhere. He turned the key. The front door to Professor Joyce’s house swung open, silently. He had been expecting to find Joyce and his wife at home. But the house was dark, except for a lamp on a table in the front hallway.
