... I didn't tell anyone, if it makes any difference.

If you mean that curmudgeon Doctor McCoy, I'm on my best behavior.
[He smiles, but it's a bit forced. It's hard not to look at Clara and see all the nights he'd crawled up beside her, desperate to escape his own symptoms — and of nightmares that he sometimes remembered and sometimes most certainly did not.]
