Martha remembers staying up late as a child, looking through her Mum’s history books, fascinated by tales of courtesans and kings. Sometimes the Doctor says she missed her calling, should had been an historian or a teacher instead of a doctor. Not that he says it everytime her medical knowledge has proven valuable - for example, last week, after she skillfully helped him remove zongarian quills from his shoulder.
One woman in particular never failed to impress Martha. She was beautiful, poweful, intelligent. Just the kind of person Martha would just love to meet and talk to.
Just her luck, is the one woman the Doctor refuses to take her to, alluding to a former encounter.
So Martha makes do with her books, and a portrait that mysteriously appears in her room one afternoon. And the dreams.
In Martha’s dreams, the blonde woman approaches her, eyes glistening and lips full of promises. There’s something odd yet enthralling about the way Martha is gently pushed against a wall, then kissed, then invited to dance.
The dreams go on in the exact same way: Reinette’s lips are so soft against Martha’s neck. Hands entwine, hair falls freely across creamy skin and no words are spoken in this secret place.
And everytime she has the dream, Martha can’t help but sense another presence in the room, merely a shadow, but something... or someone is there is with them.
Until one day, when Martha puts the books away and hangs the portrait in one of the many rooms in the TARDIS.
If the Doctor is dissapointed by such actions, he never tells.
