~Returned~

I think Gwen nearly had a heart attack when I turned up on her doorstep. She was getting on six months, and almost glowing. I smiled at her.

'Ianto?' she asked, breathless.

I merely nodded, before I had an armful of sobbing woman.

'He left, you know. Right after the 456 were defeated. He said he needed to unwind. I just think he couldn't live on your world anymore.'

My heart broke again. Had Jack really left because he couldn't face my memory? Was there a way I could contact him?

Jack, I'm still alive. Still breathing, aware. Loving you.
