Look At Donnas Reaction To This.

Look at Donna’s reaction to this.

She looks like she could cry from just this one gesture. And the Doctor does it naturally, as if she’s deserving of common decency like everyone else, which she clearly feels she is not. He shows her care, which is profoundly lacking in her life.

“The Doctor and Donna healed each other and made each other better.” – Catherine Tate, Return to the 11th Hour

This is why Donna jumps in front of him later against the Racnoss. He really wraps her in his jacket, a gesture of compassion. It’s one of the foundations of their love story, besides the laughing.

Ten and Donna always perfection.

I love strong female characters. I want them to cry and have someone protect them.
