“Did I ever tell you about the meaning behind your engagement ring?” John asks while he rubs sunscreen on Rose's back.

They're on their honeymoon enjoying a beautiful beach called Elafonisi in Crete. Rose can't believe she's finally getting a tan. The same couldn't be said about her husband who had a sunburn instead of a suntan.

“No, you didn't. What does it mean?”

“Look at your hand, see the sapphires and the diamond?”

“Yeah, so?!”

“They represent the past, present and future; when they are bound to the band by the Trinity design it symbolizes eternal life, nature and love,” he says in his know-it-all voice. “Or at least, that was the description they gave me at the store,” he adds, embarrassed.

Rose can't help herself and laughs out loud.

“You're impossible,” she teases.

“Rose, I already said that I can't be impossible because I exist! I can be improbable.”

Rose rolls her eyes and lies down, closing her eyes.

“John, shut up,” she says.

Rose can feel his eyes on her, tracing her figure with a contemplative face. It's really annoying, if you ask her.

“You are golden right now,” he says, brushing her hair out of her face. “With the sun all over your skin.” His fingers trace the edge of her top with a softness that makes Rose shiver.

“You really look like Rose, you know?” he says in a whisper.

“What you mean?” she asks, opening her eyes to look at him.

“The first time I saw you at Peter's party I thought 'Did Rose just come out of my books? Because this girl looks exactly the way I always pictured my character in my head.’” he smiles at her, his eyes locked on her face. “The same bright brown eyes, the dyed blonde hair and the wide smile.”

“Don't forget we share the same name,” Rose adds.

“Of course,” he kisses her forehead. “Very fair if you ask me.”

“What you mean?”

“I created a Rose for the Doctor. The Doctor is my alter ego, therefore I should get my Rose.”

She widens her eyes, surprised by his words.

“I think that’s the most romantic thing you've ever said to me,” Rose says, touched.

“Oh come on,” John says in a worried tone. ”You can't say after all these years together that the most romantic gesture I’ve made was to call you the Rose to my Doctor.”

“You really don't have any idea how much I love the way you developed their relationship, do you?”

John shakes his head. Sometimes her husband is so clueless.

“Rose jumps between universes just to be with the Doctor. He died in a parallel world because he lost Rose. She made him better just because she's Rose,” Rose explains. “Believe me when I say that I'm not alone on this. A lot of girls would agree that being called the Rose to someone's Doctor is the most romantic thing they can hear.”

“Sometimes I forget you're a Doctor's fangirl, you know?” he says with a big smile.

Rose rolls her eyes, but doesn't say anything. While John babbles about science, Rose can do the same about TV shows and books she loves. At first, she felt ashamed when she would talk with John for minutes about some book she’d read, but now he's used to it. He just isn't used to her talking about his books.

“Just because I don't discuss your books with you doesn't mean I don't love them. And well, I'm all over your real world, you don't need me in your fantasy world too,” she shrugs.

“Do you have any idea how much I love you?” he asks with his eyes shining in happiness.

“I know, but it's nice to hear you say it,” she says gently.

He gets up and kisses her lips tenderly.

“I'll get an ice cream, do you want something?”

“Nah, I'm good.”

And she really is.
