Summary
The Doctor must look either daft or terrified, as Rose is the one to deploy the figurative life raft; she’s all sparking eyes, soft smiles, and a little murmur of 'Come here' that couldn’t sound any more certain — any more encouraging. Still, it’s hardly audible over the sound of hot, running water, which fills the room with a haze.

Summary
Raquel signs up for a company retreat to Northern Europe in hopes of a much-needed break after Alberto wreaked havoc in her life - that is, until she learns that Sergio Marquina, the aloof office despot is paired up with her. He is her only colleague she strongly suspects cannot stand her. He never says more than two words to her and goes out of his way to avoid being alone with her.
But the trip is all expenses paid and she came all the way here, so she has no choice but to get used to sensing his glare at the back of her head during every compulsory team-building winter activity they take part in.
She will not chicken out.
Even if it turns out she has to share a room with him in the company cabin.
Oh, joy.
