Michael Holden is confident of a few things.
The lack of new Doctor Who is a travesty. (It's merely resting, not cancelled).
Skating's the best way to clear his head.
And his role as Tori's whatever-he-is is to give her space. He knows he can't make her happy; the person he adores is paying the price for the debt of grief.
They've talked. She says she doesn't want to, but she needs to do this. Make the quilt patch. Create that indelible mark for Charlie that he was here, in this universe, and he matters and is loved.
