Jack found Ianto sitting on the couch. His face tearstained and his eyes red rimed from crying. Jack went to where he a hand on his lover's shoulder he asked "Yani? what's wrong?" He sat down beside Ianto and nuzzled his allowed himself to lean back in the warmth of Jack's arms.

Ianto looked at Jack sadly "She died Jack," Jack looked at him stunned . "Who?" Ianto put his head on Jack's shoulder "Christina." Jack racked his brain " Christina?" Then it registered, "Ahh Christina" Jack kissed his lover gently as he took hold of Ianto's hand lovingly. "When did it happen Cariad?" Ianto sighed heavily. "Last night."

Christina was the elderly woman who the two had met during one of their cases. She had been a life long resident of Providence Park. The first day they had met the elderly woman she had asked "Are you visiting some one?" Jack had put his hand on her knee and had flashed her a Thousand watt Harkness smile. " Christina, we've come to see you." He said kindly to her. "No one comes to see me." had been her response.

That had pained Ianto's heart . To feel like you have no one,that you have been forgotten. From that day Ianto made it a point to visit the elderly woman every visitors day at the home. Every day he had arranged for fresh flowers to be delivered to her room. Ianto also arranged with the staff of Providence Park to have her needs met. He had grown close to the woman the past five years. He had visited the old woman every Saturday, sometimes Jack accompanied him.

Every time she saw Jack she would comment "Your eyes are older then your face." the first time she had said this Jack had nonchantly asked " is that a bad thing?" Christina had looked at him and had replied simply "Yes."

She had been the only witness to what Jack had called the Night Travellers. She had met the leader of this group. The Ghostmaker who went around Cardiff stealing the last breath of their had been 5 or 6 when the Ghostmaker had approached her at A Traveling Show which was called Joshua Joy's Traveling Show .

Terrified, she had run away from him when he had offered to make her part of the traveling had said that she could be a part of his audence for ever. She had lost members of her family to this man, including her parents. Since that night, she had been terrified if any kind of Live entertainment show had come to the resident home to which she lived.

As Ianto sat there with Jack,he spoke. " I was with her at the end. I held her hand as she slipped away peacefully" Jack kissed Ianto's tearstained face. Ianto spoke again,"Her last words were of the ghostmaker and the of you. " Jack looked at him in surprise. " Me?Really? "

Ianto smiled through his tears "About you she said "Tell that nice young man, though his eyes are older then his face. they are lovely eyes." Jack chuckled as he kissed Ianto's forehead. Ianto continued. "Before she died she had whispered softly "Thank you Ianto Jones. For not letting the Ghostmaker get my last breath."
