Summary: He'd not expected her ever to use it.

Of course! She’d given him her phone when she’d left. He’d just dropped it on the console and promptly forgotten it; given the terms of their parting he’d not expected her ever to use it.

He’d behaved like a heel to her – he’d been shell-shocked still by what had happened at Canary Wharf, was missing Rose like nobody’s business, but that hadn’t excused his behaviour.

After a while they’d managed an uneasy truce. But she hadn’t been the one he’d wanted with him – and they’d both known it. Martha wasn’t Rose, couldn’t be Rose.

And that was their main problem.

I like this; I always wondered where the phone came from and this is a good background to it :)

She left the phone with the Doctor at the end of Last of the Time Lords - there's dialogue about it. :)

Yeah, that’s what I thought. I was getting confused for a mo, nice to see I’ve not lost my marbles completely just yet.

Thank you :) I haven't seen that ep (still new to the show.) Would explain it :D

Yeah, the whole Martha-trying-to-slide-into-Rose's-place thing was never going to end well.

You’re not kidding. I feel sorry for her, more than anything; being a companion when that happened to your predecessor makes things more difficult than they need to be.

Yeah, that was quite the train wreck of a companionship. I like Martha coming into her own at UNIT, though.

And that's an understatement!

I had a(nother) plot!bunny bite me on this episode, so you may yet see more of Martha as she was here.
