Rose doesn't give herself enough credit. She thinks that Reinette is everything she's not. What she doesn't see is that Reinette is everything that she *is.*
Mickey frequently provides much needed comic relief!
It's always bothered me that Rose strings Mickey along, and I think it doesn't get pointed out enough in fics, so I liked letting the Doctor point it out, that Rose isn't entirely blameless in this whole thing. I think she was just young and the thing with the Doctor took her wholly by surprise, and I think Mickey knew before Rose knew, to be honest. I think everyone knew before Rose knew! ;-)
They never talk about love, the Doctor and Rose, until Chaos Theory. It's always *about* love, but they never say it in so many words. And yeah, I didn't want this to be muddied with sex, it was the sort of argument that needed to take place fresh and separated from that.
