MOMENTS BEFORE
Maybe it's a bit like falling in love.
He's not sure he's ever actually been. In love, that is. But he's heard a lot about it, how you're flying and sinking and your heart's breaking all at once.
He's pretty sure that last part isn't supposed to be literal, gaping chest wound and blood spilling over your hands.
Maybe it's not like that at all. Maybe it's more like sex. Petite mort. Isn't that what the French call an orgasm? Where did he hear that? It sounds like something Donna would tell him just to see his reaction.
So maybe it's like love or maybe it's like having sex with Donna and he's not sure why he just thought that. But Toby's calling him now and he needs to answer.
Except he can't because he's too busy falling.
