She knows him at once. He’s got this mad kind of exuberance she’s seen before, but it’s not tempered with sadness or loss. It’s what he could have been without the Time War, what he might have been not weighed down by the weight of destroying so many things…planets…people.
Their lives run in parallel for many months, but they are destined to connect. Both summoned to one alien invasion too many, they speak.
She loves him immediately. He doesn’t want to be without her, but sacrifices his own hearts to help her find a way home. She almost doesn’t go.
