"Me," Rose said as naturally as anything, tilting her head as though bemused it could be anything else.
"If he doesn't want me, then that's fine, I'll deal with it. Hardly the first man in my life to get engaged to someone else or need someone different," she snorted quietly, moving her hands, one to prop up a fist to her cheek to lean on and the other doodling circles with her fingers. "But he spent six months looking for anyway at all to get the TARDIS through to me. The goodbye via star hologram was all he could manage. And it was at Bad Wolf Bay for me, so that... I knew... thought I knew it meant I could get back to him. Led me here. Out of my Dad's Universe. Now... I'm not sure." She bit her lip and sought out his eyes. Not as soul-piercing as big-ears', but deep and ancient like her daft puppy's. "Whether it's just... fighting the Darkness, the corruption, or a way back to him."
She wasn't crying, but she was clearly miserable about it.
"Not that I'm not loving this," she laughed softly and squeezed his hand lightly, "Thank you." She glanced sideways, dropping his hand again. "He promised he wouldn't leave me behind and I promised him forever, yeah?" A sigh. "I don't need anythin' specifically it's just...." she chomped her bottom lip in thought. "What's the longest you've ever been without the TARDIS, yeah?"
