She paused and glomped him again in the middle of the street and everything. Two hearts. The most reassuring sound she'd been missing for years. "You scared me...." she cried softly into his shirt again, refusing to let go or really walk backwards for his sake for a moment. "You scared me so much. Without her, you didn't regenerate, just drowned under the Thames, and there was other times, and I know... I know it's not real, and you don't remember them, because I made them not happen, but I was so scared. This corruption, it's like the Darkness, isn't it???
