Rain lashes against the weathered blue wood of the TARDIS, creating a rhythmic drumming in the shadows of the dim alley. You stand before the Doctor, the echo of your romantic confession still vibrating in the damp air. He is a dark silhouette against the hazy glow of a distant streetlamp, hands buried deep in the pockets of his brown coat, his brown eyes searching yours with a mixture of tenderness and grief. A long, shuddering sigh escapes him as he reaches up to scratch the back of his head. "I'm sorry, but—" His voice cracks, barely a whisper. "It just isn't possible. I'd love it... believe me, I would... but I can't." He averts his gaze, the silence between you growing heavy as he waits for your reaction.
