It had taken the Doctor quite awhile to find the perfect gift for River. He'd spent nearly a day wandering the TARDIS until he found what he was looking for. It was a book of sorts, encased in a prism. It was from a culture whose basis of communication was based completely in math and numbers. Just opening up the prism was a puzzle in itself, and inside was a book, a kind of poetry of numbers. He thought the order and precision would appeal to River as well as challenge her mind.

The Doctor knew he'd hurt River, had pushed her further than he should. He'd let his curiosity override his humanity and River paid the price for it.

It hadn't clicked with him when he'd ended up at Xander's to destroy the pendant that River and Kaylee lived there as well. Once he realized that he knew where to find her, he became determined to try and make up for what he'd done.

The Doctor knocked on the door, then put his hands behind his back and waited.
