As she turns away, she hears him mutter something under his breath – faint but just loud enough to carry across the room and reach her ears. She tenses, drawing in a sharp breath as she glances over her shoulder. The Doctor watches her from where he stands, leaning over the console, fringe falling into his eyes. He looks at her like he’d wanted her to hear it.

She swallows, already knowing she’ll regret asking. “What was that?”

He grits his teeth. “I said maybe you shouldn’t come back.”
