Oh, but she was the same woman, Doctor. At least, she wanted to be. She knew she didn't have the memories that he did. She knew that her future self had lived a life so much more fulfilling than her own. But she still cared about this tall, lanky Time Lord with the beautiful smile and the crazy hair. She wanted to know about those things he was remembering.
"Queen Victoria?" she blurted, her eyes wide. "We met the bloody queen?" Future Rose was in for a good old time, wasn't she? Or...rather, had already had one. A year spent with this bloke and she still couldn't completely wrap her head around the whole time thing. Including how he could be living it and not remember having lived it as his previous self. That part would never make any sense.
And he had also said the magic word. Reaching out, she rested a hand on his arm, giving it an inquisitive squeeze. "My dad? Again? We met him again? Was he alright? Did we...was it his childhood or something?" Okay, she had sworn not to ask for details. But come on! It was her dad they were talking about. The only time in her life she'd known him, he was giving his life to save all of humanity. She wanted so much more.
