Authors note: Oh this is so exciting, the end is getting nearer and i'm getting ready to celebrate 50 chapters in and still excited.
Jack sat in the main hall as Toshiko told him about some new program she was testing to monitor the rift. Owen, Gwen and Rose were out chasing weevils. The phone rings and Jack answers.
"Jack, it's Ianto, I have a woman here who's insisting on speaking to you," Jack motioned for Toshiko to bring up the camera footage of the tourist office, "I'll be up in a moment Ianto" Jack smiled and rushed out of the hub.
Jack paused in the entrance to the tourist office, "Hello red"
Donna shook her head, "Don't call me that"
"What would you like me to call you?"
"Donna will do okay thank you"
"Ouch" and he raised a hand to his face as though slapped.
"We need to talk Jack"
Jack nodded, "I think we do, Ianto I'm just popping out for lunch, if there's any news from the guys you know how to contact me"
Jack guided Donna into a small café not far from Torchwood.
"So beautiful," Donna frowned and Jack sighed, "Donna, how is he?"
Donna rolled her eyes, "Terrible, I'm not sure how much more withdrawn Doctor I can take"
"Bad huh?" asked Jack taking a sip of coffee.
Donna nodded, "He's no fun anymore, he just sits in the Tardis all day pretending to fix stuff, it's driving me crazy, I've been stuck in the Tardis for over a month"
"You didn't go anywhere in that time?"
Donna shook her head, "It's beginning to feel like a prison, I only just managed to convince him to come here, but he insisted I come out on my own"
Jack sighed, "He's a fool, they both are?"
Donna stared at Jack, "Tell me one thing Jack and I want you to be honest, is there, or has there ever been anything going on between you and Rose"
"You can't be serious"
"Absolutely, I need to know the truth"
"I keep telling you, same as I keep telling him; Rose is just a friend, she's more like a sister if I'm honest"
Donna reached across the table and pulled Jacks face against hers and kissed him thoroughly on the lips. She let him go and they both stared at eachother.
"First time I've seen Jack Harkness lost for words" and she giggled at Jacks expression.
"Wow"
"So, now we got that bit over with what are we gonna do about the Doctor and Rose?"
