How do you tell people you've traveled in space and time with a charismatic alien – and stopped?
It became a game of telephone, morphing from "I told the Doctor I was sick of it," meaning the violence that plagued our adventures, to "I'm sick of the Doctor" to "He makes me sick" to "He's a sicko." None of that is what I said… or remotely true! Strangers who never met me or the Doctor now think ill of him! Truth is, he's an extraordinary person, and more importantly, a good person.
Every day I miss him and his brave hearts.
