The mortuary was, unsurprisingly, kept cold. That was why he was shivering, as he stood here, looking at her. Keeping watch on the dead, hiding from the living. He reached out, his hand almost touching her face.

"Coffee, sir?" Silently, he turned, accepted the cup and watched Ianto almost leave.

"How did I miss this?" He had whispered, but he had known Ianto would hear.

"It was her choice, Jack."

He nodded, and looked back to her. "Goodnight." He said, but he didn't know to whom.

The next time, Ianto offers more than coffee and Jack accepts.
