The Doctor's hearts were thundering in her chest. This was all a bit overwhelming.
Jack Harkness was in love with her. Wanted to travel with her again... And this time, it sounded like he wanted to stay with her until the end of eternity, which, in Time Lord standards, never truly ended. And he'd loved Rose, too. She'd always suspected as much, but hearing him say the words made it real. At least they had an understanding there, because The Doctor knew that one of her hearts would always belong to that beautiful, brave little blonde.
He'd came to her, angry about her going into hiding, but she knew he was hurt even more because he loved her, and he felt she'd abandoned him. And she had, in a sense. She felt so conflicted, debating her choices, debating what he was offering her. Her head felt like it was spinning, and she felt a bit weak in the knees. She hadn't felt like this since the first time Rose had kissed her, really kissed her, in her last regeneration.
"Oi, Captain," she finally said, forcing a bit of humor into her voice. "Think you've made one of the old tickers stop. Think I need to sit down." She pointed down the street to the little shop she was originally headed to, with a bit of a shaking hand. "Was going for a pop and banana. Care to join me and we'll... Discuss this a bit more?"
