She could vividly remember their last real kiss.
A soft 'Goodbye' was all it had said. A good way to remember him by, indeed. An ending.
He had walked up to her, cupped her face and au revoir! Not gone, but going.
Foreboding, wet, Bad Wolf Bay.
The words feel false at first when they pass her lips, calling him Doctor. But he whispers in her ear, foreign words, things that really had remained unspoken until then.
His stutter against her ear is strange, his breath exceptionally warm on that biting beach.
They kiss right there, shared body heat. Shared anticipation.
The only goodbye is the groaning of the TARDIS.
