[No, your eyes do not deceive you. This entry was not here before, but I've added it at this point to fit Oliver's continuity, and I'm doing it now because we've only just finished the Doctor and Olivia's log.]
Recording, sent to the Doctor's sphere
[The message starts with Olivia standing in front of the sphere, smiling warmly, although there is a tinge of worry and sadness to her expression]
I hope I'm doing this right... Oh, there. Doctor? [smiles for him] I hope you've had a good week. I...well. I've had an amazing week. But right now, I feel like something's coming. I...don't think we'll meet again.
You should get this message a few days from now, hopefully plenty long after your mate Oliver is back with you again. He's a bloke, so he'll probably never mention this. And I suppose you can turn it off now, if you want to. But I'm sending this message because I wanted to thank you. [pauses, taking a breath] I know I'm not really real and a week is hardly a life, but...that day I spent with you? It was the most incredible time I've ever had. When I was with you, I felt real. Thank you, my Doctor. Thank you for giving me that.
Part of me wants to apologize to you, for the things I did to hurt you that day--enough that you never wanted to see me again. But the rest of me has been telling that part to stuff it and not even bother thinking like that. I know you, and you're doing this for us. Things are dangerous right now, and you're trying to protect me. I understand that. I only wish...well, better to just hold onto the happy memories instead of wishing for what didn't happen, right? [smiles sadly]
I don't know if you'll miss me, but I promise that I'll always miss you. My white knight, my Doctor. You were the best thing that ever happened to me. And even if you forget me, please don't forget that. You never give yourself enough credit, so you'd better at least listen when the rest of us try to! [laughs]
[pauses for a moment, looking at the sphere, as if struggling with what to say next] And...I think that's all. Thank you, my Doctor, for letting me be your Ollie. Nothing could have made me happier. And...good-bye.
[brings her fingers to her lips, blowing him a kiss; then she reaches up to turn off the sphere, just as tears begin to run down her cheeks]
