It makes the Doctor wonder, occasionally, whether Rose realises that they were responsible for what happened to them at the Battle of Canary Wharf - and for Torchwood's "Ghost Shift" that opened the void and let out the Cybermen and the bloody Daleks (he flinches, again, remembering; still can't believe the sacrifice of Gallifrey was for nothing).
He wonders if he'll ever forgive himself for accepting that wager - isn't thirty pieces of silver the going rate on Earth for betraying the one who saved you?
For by indulging his lover (worth far more than 10 measly quid), he'd unwittingly betrayed her.
