"He was running away from you? But that can't be right, cause he said, he said you had business you had to take care of and..."
Rose bit her lip, folding her hands on her lap and wringing them idly, trying to make sense of what Jack just told her.
"The Doctor, he wouldn't do that," she said, more to convince herself than anything else. "He's better than that, he wouldn't just leave someone like that."
It's why she went back for the Doctor in the first place all those years ago, wasn't it? You don't run away, you stand up and fight and save the things that are really important.
She looked up at Jack earnestly, searching his eyes and hoping they would tell her something she wasn't understanding. There had to be a reason, he wouldn't just leave Jack. Not like that.

"He really did that, he really just...left you?"
