Prompt: chocolate (yeah, I struggled a bit)


Deirdre padded up the stairs as if in a trance. She caught sight of Randall’s untidy bedroom with its chocolate and orange bedclothes heaped on the mattress on the floor. She wasn't going to share those anymore, she thought grimly. Pressing on, she reached the attic window, slipped the catch and climbed out onto the roof. The city skyline was cold and dark and unforgiving and she perched on the very edge, waiting for the numbness to spread.

“Deirdre, are you ok?”

Of course, Ripper had followed her.

“What did we just do?” she spat. “And why wasn't it you?”

Next prompt: Roast
