Every day that passed since the worst day of her life was like a long,
arduous journey back. She took a job at Torchwood - worked long hours -
her mother thought she wanted to forget, but she was working toward a
goal - to find him again. Finally, her work paid off, and she nearly
found her way back. Small breaches in the universe found Rose in her
old world, long enough to send a message, likely not received. Soon,
an opportunity arose - a new world, built around a woman - Rose led her
to restore the timeline, and her message got through.
