42: [Private to Rose Tyler]

[young_idealist]

Rose,

Let me get through this crisis before you cast judgment on me. I am begging you.

I thought I was doing what you wanted. We... I understood that we couldn't have a relationship, no matter what we did. Was I wrong? Why are you treating me as if I'd scorned you?

In public, when I'm doing my job, I will call you that no matter what's in my heart. And just now, I'm very angry. With the Master. With Loki. I'm formal with everyone then for fear my temper will get loose.

I... don't suppose we can be. It doesn't change that I don't wish to hurt you more. I love you. I didn't want to get in the way of you and the Doctor. I didn't realize he'd done that. You didn't tell me.

We've hardly had a chance to see one another, even just to talk since then. I don't know what's happened to you or is in your mind unless you tell me.

Private still

It doesn't. None of it does. Can you wait until I've done something about Loki? I think we need to talk in person.

Would I help if I talked to the Doctor?
