"He said your name."

That's what Ida Scott had told her after the Doctor had fallen into the pit. She knew what he was going to say. She'd told him before, after the Cybermen and Mickey, and he had kissed her hands and smiled brightly.

Standing on a cold beach a universe away, she told him again. He had smiled sadly and, just as he was going to say them, those three little words that meant so much, he faded away. When she held her breath to hear them all she heard was her name.
