Casted in the pale, blue lights of the TARDIS, he asked me if it was worth it.
I looked at him, really looked at him for the first time in a really long time. Even the Time Lord in him couldn't prevent the worry line sculpted onto his face, or the tired eyes that reflected light so beautifully. His hair, the butt of so many of my jokes, stood proud and tall all around his head, as if he had finally pull them stiff after so many agitating situations.
"Suffering through a world of demon is worth an angel." Reinette's words floated into my head. Were they true though? Was a world of danger and pain worth moments like this?
"Goodbye Doctor. I wish I had never met you." The thought of Jack's smiled made my heart break. So many lives have ended because of one man's presence in times that he shouldn't be apart of.
"You show us these splendors of the world, then drop us on Earth and expect us to continue on." Sarah-Jane's word stirred fear in my mind. Was that going to be the same for me? A world of nothing, after all of this? He's assured me differently, but how will I really know?
"Rose."
With one word, he's snapped me out of my trance and back to reality. He had taken a step closer to where I stood, still towering over me. His face was filled with concern, his hand twitching as if he was going to reach out for me. I stepped closer. Reaching out, I touched his cheek, running my hand along his face to see if he was really there.
Because, I decided as my hand slipped down to his tie, pulling his lips down to mine, it wasn't just worth it.
It was unbelievable.
