I've always loved this line: “Ah.” Now the humans in the store all smiled at him in sympathy.
I do love the idea that the Doctor doesn't take his life for granted on any day, especially with this remarkable thing he has with Rose.
This fic also reminds me of something else I love about Chaosverse Ten - he's certainly not perfect. He's sometimes rude, and he forgets things, and he can be incredibly oblivious regardless of how clever he is. Even when Rose is quite upset, he doesn't always understand why. And Rose accepts all of these things and loves him regardless. I think writers are sometimes inclined to ignore the things that would make the Doctor frustrating as a romantic partner. You let Ten have his faults, but let Rose acknowledge them and love him just the same, which is far more authentic.
