2008.
Rory's life is normal. Some might even say it's a bit boring.
(He wouldn't, though. To him, it's nice. Quaint. Stable.)
He's nineteen, a third year nursing student, and he's never been outside of Leadworth except for the two times he went to London.
He spends most of his days in the hospital - studying procedures, vocabulary and patient charts, and running from floor to floor. Sometimes he forgets to eat. Sometimes he even forgets to go home.
He likes routine.
He also likes Leadworth.
And there's this girl who lives a few streets from him. This brilliant, brilliant girl with a fairytale name.
(Amelia Pond.
Though she calls herself 'Amy' these days.)
One day, he's going to marry her.
(Even if he's pretty sure she's never looked at him that way.)
