Episode: 1x01 – "Rose"
Love (1/13)
Jack hasn't seen Rose in three years. Every time he's been by in the past, he's kept his distance. Because he learned early on that time lines were fragile and if he's made it this far without messing up, he's not going to start muck it all up tonight.
He stands outside Henrik's as she works; her smile forced. The happy memories she brings cause him pain.
She's just hours away from meeting the Doctor, losing her job and being whisked off on the adventures that'll eventually lead her to him.
He almost wants to warn her not to go.
