A/N: The title and the quote at the beginning of the fic are both from Fergus and the Druid by W. B. Yeats.

Take, if you must, this little bag of dreams;
Unloose the cord, and they will wrap you round.

His lungs feel as if they’re bursting.

That’s probably because he’s never run so fast in his life – not in this one, not since he lost her. She’s the one thing in the whole universe he wants, and there’s nothing that could stop him running to her as if his life depended upon it.

He’s so glad he believed Donna and turned around to see for himself.

He can hardly breathe. So much for a respiratory by-pass system.

She’s here. He can hardly believe it; he'd said it was impossible.

He might have guessed she’d end up proving him wrong.

Stupid Dalek. Donna would've had to bust out a firehose to separate the two of them otherwise.

I second the stupid Dalek statement.
Lovely fic and I liked you using David's quote from the confidential. He so ships them:)

Aww. Well-written, pure emotions here. Damn Dalek. >:(

*pets poor Ten*
This almost hurts too much to read it unless I shove all memories of the rest of the series into a little box...

Oh, you've done it again. *sniffles* Wonderful!

IMO, that scene -- especially the Doctor running flat-out towards his Rose, and the look of utter joy on his face -- was the best thing in the episode.

Oh, and referencing earlier comments, I'd give anything to have seen Donna blast away that Dalek with a firehose before it could take out Ten!
