Rose Tyler waited, waited for the Doctor to come back and finish his sentence.
"Rose Tyler…" What was the rest of it? It was important, so very important that the Doctor finish, for him to say it.
Her family waited for her, for a bit, on the beach. Then they waited in the car, then in sleep, as the sunlight slowly left the sky.
And still Rose Tyler waited. She watched the stars move across the sky, brilliant jewels each one, and wondered if her Doctor saw the same stars.
Rose Tyler would wait for that man until the end of time and beyond.
Except, what if he wasn't waiting on her? What if he moved on and found a new companion, like he did to Sarah Jane?
She would do something, anything, to find her way back to him.
When the sun rose, Rose Tyler was through waiting.
