I want you safe. My Doctor.
1x13 - The Parting of the Ways

Look at the Doctor’s face. He has been falling in love with Rose throughout the whole season, and has, to some extent, loved her since the moment they met. But he’s broken and he’s scared and he’s self-loathing. He doesn’t believe that he is lovable anymore. He doesn’t think he deserves to be loved.

But then Rose says this, and he can finally see that she does love him. And as the Bad Wolf, she knows the whole universe, all of time and space. She knows him. She forgives him. And she loves him. 

Though he is terrified for Rose, knowing that she’s burning up from the inside with all that energy inside of her, he gains hope from these words. Just look at his face at the revelation that Rose loves him. This is the moment that solidifies their relationship. He will never give up hope for her after this point. He will do anything to save her.
