The first time the Doctor takes her hand, telling her to run, it’s like electricity sizzling along Rose’s nerve endings. She’s never felt anything like it and in that moment she knows that she would willingly follow him to the ends of the earth. Later on, she revises that to include the rest of the universe, and all of time as well.
His skin is cooler than a human’s; touching him makes her fingertips tingle, and she gets breathless just at the thought. How can he be so magnetic, so addictive? Humans don’t have the same allure. She knows she’ll never get enough of those long, cool fingers tracing patterns on her skin. His face and body may have changed but the effect his touch has on her never will.
Whatever this is between them, she hopes and prays it will go on forever. Even then, it will never be enough.
