"But it's gone, and so if nothin' else you can hurt it without worryin' 'bout the Doctor."
I nod thoughtfully.
"That's a good point. Maybe we can bind it, now it's free... You'd know more about how to do that than I would," I say with a little smile.
"I'm glad you weren't right in it," I say, sittin' down. "And so how's the Doctor, then?"
"The doctor looked pretty bad after it happened," I say, "but he wasn't hurt by then. At least not physically. But when it was happening..." I shake my head. "He screamed with pain. It was horrible to see." I look at her. "I know you're glad I was safe, and that's the same reason I didn't tell you what I was doing. If something happened to you - " I stop because my throat feels tight. "I couldn't bear that." I think of how I got home afterwards, and how I lay awake for a long time with my heart racing, and what if I'd died without being able to tell Tess - I sip my tea.
