Over time, he’d learned to protect himself from heartbreak.  Getting involved only lead to pain and the only thing worse than living forever, would be living in pain forever.

He refused to get close, kept his distance.  Always traveling, never putting down roots, never settling anywhere, always on the move.  Hopping from bed to bed, planet to planet, never waking up in the same place twice.

This time, when offered a room and companionship aboard the TARDIS, he refused.  It was too late for him.  He had learned:  if home is where the heart is, it’s safer to remain homeless.
