Summary
"“Please,” she says, on one of their adventures together, just after he opens the Tardis doors and they look at an old star and an old planet from the safety of the Tardis. “Let me go in here, Doctor. Let me die on one last adventure, you know?”
“Yeah,” he says, because he can’t deny her that—he has stayed, and he has stayed, and it’s the hard part, now. The part that he has always ran away from, but he can’t run away from any longer.
“Okay,” he says, and he feels like his throat is tight, burning, and there’s tears coming to his eyes, and then, “I’ll find a bright star for you, Donna Noble—a bright, burning, dying star, and that will be your last adventure. How does that sound?”
She smiles, and she squeezes his arm lightly. She looks up at him with the world and the stars and the planets reflecting in her eyes, and she says, “That would do just fine, I think.”"
There was always a reason he never could bear to stay, before, and his lifespan isn't any shorter and their lifespan isn't any longer.
Or: Fourteen stays with Donna-- he stays, and he stays, and he stays, until he can't any longer.
