You might have to have a root canal with the next chapter, then! *grins* I totally agree with you on Vulnerable!Ten - I don't see the character as being the forward-type unless in extreme circumstances. And yes, in this universe, he wouldn't have been with someone who truly loves him for a really long time, and it would be a bit overwhelming for him if he so chose to connect to Rose at this point. And Rose in charge - yeah!

Yup, 7am. Will feel like 5am for me - feel my pain. Thanks for the well-wishes and hopefully I won't be too brain-dead next Wednesday 'cause it's a really good chapter.
