Martha wondered what Severus had said to Jack when he was in the room, but she suspected that it was something along the lines of 'hands to yourself or I will hex them off' which was rather in character for her husband. Jack would know not to go too far, she had faith in him. Of course, she hadn't expected the grepping that had occurred at their wedding, but the matter was a moot point.

All and all, she was glad that he approved of Severus, or seemed to at least. The last thing she wanted was for someone else to have the same reaction of 'really? you married him?' around her. After hearing it so often over the last couple of months it was the sort of thing that instantly put her on the defensive.

"My mum likes him," she explained quickly, as if that would somehow make stave off the idea that her and Snape were a bad pairing. "And you know how she can be." Slapping the Doctor and all of that.
