Her hope isn't making things any better for him. In fact, it makes him more dreadfully sick than the prospect of leaving her. She's young and inexperienced and not a little bit immature. She believes that things will work if she wishes just hard enough. James knows different. He knows that even the biggest hope couldn't save what didn't work, what was already marked for death. He knows it just as surely as he knows that the mania reflected in Sarah Jane's face is the same mania that drove him confess he'd do anything to bring Vesper back to life.
Quietly, looking at her steadily, he replies, "I can't do that, Sarah."
