Object
Jo’s Plate of Cheeses
A ceramic plate holding an assortment of soft and hard cheeses, their waxy rinds and cut surfaces glistening under the study’s dim lamplight. Jo arranges them with deliberate care—blue cheese crumbles scatter slightly as she adjusts a wedge of aged cheddar. The plate’s raised lip catches stray crumbs, preventing spillage onto the polished wood. Beside it, a second untouched glass of wine stands ready but untasted, its surface reflecting the golden glow of the fire. The Doctor’s gaze flicks between the plate and Jo’s hands, the domestic act contrasting with the unspoken urgency of the moment.
