Stepping from the doorway of the TARDIS, Rose gasped at the splendor of the curling waves: towering breakers, eternalized in ice. "Jus' think, one second there's this world, teemin' with life and movement. Then the next, it's dead… frozen and empty."

"Everything dies, Rose," he droned.

Shivering, she nestled into his embrace. He pressed his lips to her crown, and wished they, too, could be immortalized in this single moment, unchanged throughout time.

With a dazzling grin, she broke from his arms, dancing, blazing in the light from the open TARDIS door, an ephemeral flame, melting his hope of eternity.
