Ianto was working late that night. He collected the paperwork from the thing that Owen called a desk, and placed it in the 'In' tray. He was about to collect his coat and leave when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Hey Yan." Ianto turned to find to the source of the noise, so quickly that he knocked over the tray.

Waking up, Ianto sat up, not believing it was only a dream. He flung himself back onto his bed, and looked at his watch to find it was 6:30am. Getting up and having a wash, Ianto then put on his 'fuck me' suit. Jack had decided on the name after the Lisa incident.

Opening the tourist information centre, Ianto decided to busy himself with sorting out the shelves of leaflets.

"Hey Yan." He turned to see where the voice came from, hoping that this time Jack was back, but disappointment flew through him as he found that it was Gwen and Owen.

The ringing of the phone caused Ianto to jerk out of his daydream.

"Cardiff Tourist Board, Chris speaking. How can I help you?" Ianto asked, the line now becoming second nature to him.

"Hey Yan, only me. Traffic is quite bad, so I'm walking in. Should be here by 10, latest." Tosh's voice drifted to him, calming his nerves as it did for all of them.

"Okay Tosh, I'll let Gwen know. See you soon," he responded before putting the phone down.

Ianto was watching the cameras, as he was the only one there. The others were out catching weevils. He smiled to himself as he saw the SUV pull up and the guys come out, opening the back door and putting 4 weevils in the weevil enclosure. The group came in; Gwen was holding her arm and Tosh was supporting a weevil clawed cheek. Owen, however, seemed okay.

"Guys, I'll see you tomorrow, have a good night," Ianto said. A chorus of "Night," met Ianto as he buzzed them through.

In a daze, Ianto turned the kettle on. He left the kettle boiling as he heard the doorbell. He opened the door, and immediately hugged the person on the other side of it.

"Hey Yan," Jack whispered. "Did you miss me?" In reply, Ianto kissed him hard. "I'll take that as a yes then," he said, smirking. He followed Ianto into the house to be welcomed back in private.
