"You keep doin' this, Doctor: pushin' me away!" Rose's voice prickled with the hurt of rejection. "Y'know what Sarah-Jane said? That some things are worth getting' your heart broken for."

"You won't leave me behind?"
"Never again," he vowed, gathering her against him, holding her next to his hearts.
