I love you and I am mocking no one when I kiss you, no one at all.”

There, a pale boy plays a fiddle with newly mended fingers while his sister dances with his best friend.

They loved him as they loved the Eleventh Doctor with his bow tie and his flippy hair and the Tenth Doctor with his mad laugh. They loved him as they loved lead singers of bands and actors in movies, loved him in such a way that their shared love brought them closer together.”
