She smiled at him, watching him working around the kitchen. She sat down at the table. This felt normal again, like it did all those years ago. Before she found out the Doctor could change, before Jack left, when it was just the three of them, on the TARDIS, hopping about the universe.
"Wouldn't say you're Sean Connery material just yet," she said, biting her tongue a bit, her tone teasing.
Rose stopped short though as he looked back at her, his words hitting her hard. Her smile turned to a confused frown.
"How do you mean you're not gonna age. Everyone's got to, even the Doctor would have to if..."
She stopped short. If the Doctor wasn't the Doctor and didn't do something daft and get himself killed before he got the chance. The Doctor looked older even now, and she would never know if it was only a few years like it was for her, or if he had been living decades or centuries since she last saw him.
But he wasn't important now. Jack said he wasn't going to age. What did that even mean?
