[The message is stared at... and closed for a little while. Donna eventually comes back to it.]

Yeah, sure. Just a sort of wake, you mean?
Or something like a church thing?
Dunno that we should do a church thing, under the circumstances.

[bossyboiler]

Yeah. Something simple. I was thinking of holding it in a pub, just something casual. George doesn't I mean he didn't strike me as someone who would appreciate something formal.

[thedoctorsmate]

No.
He wasn't much for all that flash.
Not unless he was showing someone a good time.
I can pick out a place.
Is that what you need from me?
Or sending out invitations?
I can help.
Sorry, Kate.
It's just really hard right now or I'd help you more with organizing.
Him and Nick in one fell swoop, right?

Flipping hell.

[bossyboiler]

Yeah. I need help finding a place. It'll go quicker if I'm not the only phoning around. As for announcing it, I was thinking of a mass group text.

It's ok, Donna. I can do it on my own if you're not feeling up to it. We're you and George close?

[ She doesn't know! ]

You know about Nick?

[thedoctorsmate]

We were getting closer.
Went out with him.
That was nice.
Was planning on it again.
Nick was gonna help me dress him up in something fun and suave.

Sorry.
I know I shouldn't be so down.
Nick might not be dead.
But with George being that way.

[bossyboiler]

Oh, Donna. I'm so sorry. Is there anything that I can personally do for you? Anything at all.

Don't be sorry. This is a lot for anyone to go through.

Maybe Nick just vanished? He could come back.

[thedoctorsmate]

No.
It's okay.
I mean, it's not okay.
But it's not the first time.
I just need a little time.
We weren't, like, proper dating. Not yet.
Dunno if he would have wanted that.

[But she'd daydreamed about it.]

And yeah.
Maybe he'll come back.
But that's him losing one of his closest friends here, if he does.

[bossyboiler]

Take as much time as you need. My offer still stands.

[ Kate thinks she gets it. They weren't dating regular but the promise of something special had been there. ]

Maybe he would have. It sounds like he liked you.

[ Does that make it better or worse? ]

That's true. Maybe he went back home?

[ It's better than thinking of the alternative. ]

[thedoctorsmate]

Maybe?
Hopefully.
Better than getting eaten by some horrible fear monster out in the ether.
I'll be by to the thing, Kate.
Not sure if I'll say much to anyone, but thanks for reaching out about it.
George deserves it.

[bossyboiler]

You're very welcome, Donna. I'll see you then.
