Summary
And maybe family isn’t forever either, perhaps you can’t put a temporal dimension to it, can’t measure it by a chess clock or even a calendar year. But maybe not being alone isn’t a permanent state either. Perhaps there are people that come into your life when you need it, and are there when you need it.

Rose picks up the Doctor’s wrist to press at his pulse point. There’s a pulse, but it’s sluggish and there’s only a single heartbeat. One solitary heartbeat. Rose looks up in alarm, catching Martha’s gaze like she knows exactly what Rose is looking for.
“He’s human.”

Summary
Whatever this thing is between them though, whatever different ideas they have about it, the one thing they are both aware of is its temporality. It is like a game of speed chess, the pieces falling through their fingers, grasped for a second before onto the next one. They don’t talk about it, spend their time together communicating in other ways, ways they’ve always been better at, like chess and sex. But it is understood that this exists in the world of hotel rooms, Benny’s basement, and Benny’s beetle. The world where only they exist, and the only thing between them is a chessboard. Where there is no time control and the board is clear.
