Okay, so after you said that bit about the cafe scene, I had to go and rewatch it. And yes. Bloody hell, yes.
And then I remembered that in Rusty's book, the companion in S4 - before the idea of Catherine coming back had even been thought of - was going to have been someone that the Doctor fell for, head-over-heels, WHAM! (as he put it). Of course, Donna coming back meant that that character never happened, but it does make me wonder if that was still in his head somehow and some of it leaked out and got absorbed into his scripts by a process of osmosis!
