It seems like an excellent plan, until she remembers the way it feels to have lost everything but the sense that something has been lost, and she wouldn't wish that on anyone. Especially not on her thief, who loses enough already. (Who might have lost -- might still lose -- her, except she'd never let that happen).
this is my favorite; the concept that the doctor "loses enough already" is so sad and true, but means that much more when coming from the tardis. i absolutely love how you handle the time line and subsequent tense issues (and i think the "might" makes this my favorite instance of tenses).
