Summary: She had let him go, had rejected the Doctor's forgiveness, and had lost the man that loved her unconditionally. He was only a reminder of what she could never have, of what she had lost. Twice. It was then that she started having the nightmares that plagued her, waking her in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, but this time it was about the man she could never love. Or thought she never could.

Author's Note: Prompt from sapphire_child (again) for the TTU ficathon, using the photo behind the cut. It's the angst that gets me every time!

( But it hurt. It hurt so much to be held like this, to be held by a man that looked so much like him, a man she had rejected, that her heart felt like it was being torn apart... )
