Summary: As happy as the Doctor is to see Donna, he’s worried too.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.
Running into Donna by chance was wonderful, it was good to see her healthy, happily married, living her life. But his joy was overshadowed by fear. If Donna remembered him, remembered anything about their travels together…
The Doctor didn’t want to be responsible for destroying her life, for killing her. Taking her memories had been bad enough, but taking her life, leaving her daughter without a mother, her husband without a wife…
He would never forgive himself. Donna had been the best mate he’d ever had, and he’d already cost her so much. He just wanted to keep her safe.
The End
