Barbara looked out at the view as Ian put the last of their things in the car. From the front door of the little Bed and Breakfast, she could see beautiful rolling hills for miles. The last of the morning was being chased away as the sun rose higher in the sky, thawing everything out. Even the cows seemed more active on one particular hill.

"I wish we could stay for a little longer," she sighed to Ian, turning her back on it all so that it might be easier to leave. Her arms folded, one hand still held on to the key they were yet to return. "I don't suppose your car has a secret time traveling device so we can spend an extra few weeks here?"

"Ugh." He shivered. "That's just not right. Nor was him making suggestive comments. "You'd think he'd have more decorum than that." He had broken in, so perhaps he had no morals at all, but even so.

"Mm," he agreed. "Do you suppose everyone in Torchwood is that cocky? Assuming there is anyone else and Torchwood really exists." He had his doubts about that.

Ian shook his head. "I don't think you can judge a whole species just on one person. Not all humans are that alike." Although he had his last mouthful of food and considered other species. "Except for Daleks."

"Not that I could see." Ian glanced over at the door, but he'd have a proper look at it later. They hadn't heard him come in either, but they hadn't been listening at the time.

"I suppose he must have had a lock pick or a skeleton key." He didn't sound worried about it because he didn't see what they could do about it. "We definitely need to save for a house."

He finished his water and followed her to the kitchen with their glasses. "I don't think he's likely to come back." But Ian sounded hopeful about that, rather than confident.

"I agree," Ian said, thinking of how suggestive Harkness had been towards Barbara. He picked up a tea towel to dry up and then paused as he reached the draining board. "He didn't direct any of that at me, did he?" It never occurred to Ian that he might have been.

"Any of his suggestive comments." He picked up a plate and started drying it. "I thought they were all directed at you or us together."

He frowned, worrying about that. What sort of man made suggestive comments about another man, especially in the company of his wife? Perhaps the same sort of man who made suggestive comments about a woman in the company of her husband and was equally happy about breaking in to people's homes.

"I don't think he had any morals at all," he concluded.

"Good idea." Putting the tea towel down and the plate away, Ian put the kettle on and then left Barbara to make the tea as well, while he settled on the sofa with a book.

"Thank you." He smiled and leaned over to kiss her carefully without spilling the tea. "It's about Isaac Newton and how he made the discoveries he did." He showed her the cover before putting the bookmark back in it and leaving it on the coffee table. "Once you follow the thought processes he must have made, it's easy to see how you get the same answers he did." He found it interesting, even if Barbara wouldn't.


((OOC: I have made that book up, but I think it sounds really interesting :) ))

He took her hand and shifted a bit closer so their legs were touching. "They're fairly basic really. They seem obvious now, but weren't at the time, of course." He sipped at his tea. "They describe the movements of objects and they apply to a ball as much as to a planet."

"It's very nice, wife." He grinned at her. "How long do you think it'll take before we get bored with saying husband and wife?"
