[He settles her down on her feet, red-rimmed eyes looking her over with confusion, and a bit of pain. That day. That day she walked out on him and told him never to go looking for her. The day after C'rizz had died.
Wiping the tears off his cheeks with the back of his hand, he shakes his head.]
That isn't how I remember that day. I remember going back to the TARDIS to prove to you that I hadn't gone to 2008 deliberately to keep you from leaving me and... I think that temporal hump hit the TARDIS pretty badly and knocked me out or something, because I woke up on the floor of the console room.
[He takes a deep breath, having never really said any of this to her before. He never thought he'd have the chance.]
When I went back to the Singapore Hilton, the woman at the reception desk handed me a letter. From you, telling me that you were going to disappear and that I wasn't to go looking for you.
That is how I remember the day I lost you, Charley.
