“I have to find the Doctor,” said Jack hurriedly.

Gwen stared at Jack, stunned. No! Not again!

She cut her eyes toward Ianto…who surprised her. Instead of appearing upset, he stood stoically, his expression neutral. Suddenly she saw, with painful clarity, this rare quality Jack valued in him. Ianto knew when it was time to let go.

He’d somehow known Jack would eventually have to leave them again.

“We’ll be fine,” Ianto insisted quietly, and smiled at Jack, small and bittersweet.
