Rose had been the start of it all. A pretty girl hanging from a barrage balloon looking like she needed someone to swoop in and save her. And he'd done it, and in sweeping her off her feet, she'd swept him off hers, with her goodness, her heart, her life, her ... energy, everything about her that was Rose.

"You know what he's like," Jack said, though ... he didn't go into detail.

It would, he thought, have been simply stating the obvious.

What did make him pay attention, though, was what the Doctor said next.

"The lists said she died at Canary Wharf."

His voice, traitorous thing that it was, caught, a little, on the name of Torchwood One's base. He wanted it to be wrong. He'd wanted it ever since he'd heard it, and having the Doctor and Rose here and not knowing if that really was the future, if it could be changed, maybe by being here, while he did know that it shouldn't be changed, had been driving him mad.
