Too Close

There really isnt, is there?

He would always remember her.

He remembered her in every action he performed, as to make sure such a tragedy never happened again.

Today was the day. The day where he told Amy Pond  the reason he had his third rule.

Together for a very long time when,

One day,..."

" Are you ok Doctor? We can stop if you want and continue another time,-"

" No I'm fine Amy, just hard to talk about."

" Anyway one day we got hit by a cyberman battleship and a circuit broke without me knowing. A couple days later a useless piece on the console was broken by Violet by accident and then we crash landed. I blamed her and insulted her.

" SHE WAS NOT A COWARD!" The Doctor roared. " SHE HAD BEEN THROUGH THINGS YOU'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED! SHE..."

The Doctor grasped the console with sudden weariness. "Never mind Amy. Never mind..."  the doctor mumbled as he went to his room realizing what his former companion had thought all Years ago.

What was the point?
