She sits at the table in the little coffee shop that she and the Doctor like to have lunch at when Rose works at the office. She doesn't like her office job so much, but being a head Torchwood agent has its downsides. Getting to have lunch with her Doctor is a very big upside though.

"I've got to go back to work," she says, but she doesn't make any move to get up.

He raises an eyebrow and half smiles at her.

She sighs and stands up. "I'll see you later, ok?"

She's almost at the door and she's afraid he won't say anything, won't say goodbye, when he finally speaks up.

"Not if I see you first."

She whirls around, surprise evident on her face. He loves that look and hates it at the same time. The look that says 'you remember?' and 'you really are him,' and 'I love you so much,' at the exact same time.

He will see her first though. He might drive over to the offices and surprise snog her, or maybe he'll pick her up from work with flowers. Either way he'll see her and it will end in snogging, or something else.
