The Doctor sat between Rose's legs whilst she combed the back of his morning hair. She smirked down at him, though he couldn't see her.

"Nope," she grinned, her tongue poking between her teeth. "One more question, Doctor, and then you lose."

"Do you love me?"

The question caught her so off guard the breath hitched in her throat.

"Yeah. I do."

"Good. 'Cause I love you, too."
