“Are you all right?”

Donna glanced at him from underneath damp eyelashes. “Yeah.” She wiped her face with the soft purple fabric.

Her response was quick. “But it’s yours?”

He didn’t look up. “Yep.”

“That doesn’t seem fair,” she murmured.

“Life of a Time Lord.” There was no pride in his voice as he released the lever and the TARDIS began to dematerialize. “It’s rarely fair.”
