Untitled (44)
As the TARDIS landed, the Doctor moved toward the door. He turned to look at Jackie. "Home." The implication of that word settled in his single, throbbing heart, as he swung the door wide.
"You comin' to say good-bye?" Rose chimed to the Time Lord, offering him her hand to hold.
The Doctor scowled at his impassive counterpart, who ignored her gesture. Shrugging, naïve, Rose turned toward him instead, and he offered a sad, loving smile. Maybe he would be enough.
Stroking a coral strut one last time, he stepped across the gateway to his future, his gateway to forever.
