It was cold. Gwendolyn was hovering, her corpse surrounded by a beastly glow. Charles Dickens stood next to him in utter terror. And Rose. It was Christmas Eve in 19th century London, they were with Charles Dickens in the cellar of an Undertakers and Rose was wearing a long black dress with her long blonde hair piled on top of her head.
She was panicking and he couldn't comfort her. Partially because the corner they'd been back into was too small, partially because she had every reason to panic, but mostly because he was too busy thinking about her. The Doctor had been in so many situations where he thought he would die. He was used to that. What he was not used to was being wrong.
He'd been too nervous to express plaudit for her outfit, so he'd settled for a pejorative remark. But he had been wrong. Rose was beautiful, and that was compared to anyone not just humans. He knew that, and now he regretted not telling her. These could be the last moments of Rose Marion Tyler's life, and the urge to kiss her was tantalizing.
