If
If she didn't go with him, she'd never have a chance like this again.
She refused anyway. She was too scared. She regretted it the second he left.
If he went back for her, she'd just refuse again, plus he'd break his own rule of never asking twice.
He went back anyway.
If she went with him this time, there was no guarantee she'd come back alive.
She went anyway.
If he took her back to 21st century Earth after watching the Earth explode, she might want to leave.
He took her anyway.
If she continued traveling with him, she'd break her mum's heart.
She stayed with him anyway.
If he saved Rose by letting the Dalek up, the universe would be in danger.
He let it up anyway.
If she apologized to him for causing the Reapers to come, he wouldn't listen (and she wouldn't blame him).
She apologized anyway.
If he danced with her, Jack might read something into it that was most definitely, absolutely not there (at least that's what he told himself).
He danced with her anyway.
If she left Mickey again, he'd never forgive her.
She left him anyway.
If he went into the eviction room, he might get killed.
He went in anyway. He had to take the chance. It was the only way to find her.
If she let herself believe that he would come for her, she'd just be disappointed. He thought she was dead.
She believed anyway.
If he sent her home, he'd never see her again, and he'd lose his only chance of escape.
He sent her home anyway. At least she'd be safe.
If she looked into the heart of the TARDIS, she'd die.
She looked anyway. She had to go back for him.
If he took the Vortex out of her, he'd die and regenerate and she'd leave him.
He took it out anyway. She had to live.
If she let herself fall for him, her heart would get broken. She was just a 'stupid ape.' There was no way he'd feel the same.
She'd fallen for him anyway.
If he let himself fall for her, his hearts would get broken. She didn't know what he'd done. She'd never love someone like him.
He'd fallen for her anyway.
