biancurath: yep. Unfortunately Jack didn't appreciate the mistletoe trivia.
I love Janto: yep, but he wanted to keep up with traditions. We can only imagine how he would do that. ;)
CaptainKotori: thanks for the fave and alert.
Continuing from the last chapter
"You know Jack has told me so much about you," River said as she leaned over the counter. Ianto kept his keys glued to the computer screen as he looked though Torchwood's various buildings. "He's very proud of you." River gave an exaggerated sigh as he continued to ignore her. Trust Jack to choose someone so damn stubborn. "There's no need to be jealous, Jack and I are just friends. I have a wonderful husband traveling the stars out there."
A husband who abandoned Jack, Ianto thought.
"Ianto really we're just friends and I think the two of us could be friends too," River said as he wrote something down. "You know my Welsh is a bit rusty but if the three of us just spent some time together I'm sure we could-"
"Here's the address," Ianto pushed a piece of paper towards her. River grabbed it. Well she had tried.
"If you change your mind... well you obviously know where I'm staying. We can have a picnic or something."
"Invite the Doctor along?" he asked without managing to keep the venom out of his voice. "Tell me River why should we trust you?"
She was very tempted to say spoilers but didn't. She didn't know if she would meet them all again. "Jack told me about what John Hart did. But know this I am not John and whatever you think my husband did I'm not him either. I just want to help Ianto."
Ianto didn't say anything and then Jack walked in. "Well I'd best be off," River said before Jack could say anything. "I'll see you two in the morning."
"So just us then," Jack said to Ianto.
"I best be going home too sir," Ianto said and he walked off leaving Jack wondering if he had done something wrong.
