Title: Caritas
Rating: U
Character(s): Ten, Rose
Pairing: Ten/Rose
Dedication: For my Nanny. Twenty-six years gone, but I remember you still.
Notes: This is, at

momdaegmorgan’s suggestion, an attempt to immortalise my most precious memory of my grandmother. The quote at the beginning of the fic comes from Psalm 15 (in the Greek numbering), using the Jerusalem Bible translation. Caritas is Latin, and translates as “love”.
Summary: She's rarely felt this cocooned in love.

With him at my side I can never be shaken

She loves this room, one they end up in quite often just spending time together. It’s full of the books he seems to find so necessary for relaxation, but it’s cosy and comfortable – and so long as she has him, she’s happy.

She likes to spend her time here sat half-in, half-out of his lap, the two of them sprawled over a large, comfortable chair set by the fire. Sometimes he’s reading, sometimes he’s not; every time, regardless, he has his arms about her and he holds her in his embrace.

And she’s rarely felt more cocooned in love.
