EXT. RHIANNON'S HOUSE-DAY
There is snow on the ground. Jack stands across the street watching the house from afar. Two children, MICA and DAVID, are playing in the front yard with Ianto. They are having a snowball fight.
MICA
Get him, David! Get Uncle Ianto!
They hurl snowballs after him. Ianto looks truly happy as he ducks and laughs.
IANTO
It's going to take more than that to bring me down!
Mica dive-tackles his leg, throwing Ianto off balance. He topples over into the snow. Mica takes a snowball and throws it at him now. A hit.
IANTO
Oh you got me! You win!
RHIANNON comes out onto the porch.
RHIANNON
Oy, Mica! David! Leave your poor Uncle Ianto alone!
MICHA
We got him Mum, we got him!
RHIANNON
Come back inside now, all of you. The food's almost ready.
Mica and David run off back inside. Ianto lingers behind for a moment, then turns and looks in Jack's direction. Their eyes meet. Ianto looks startled. Jack freezes.
RHIANNON (O.S.)
Ianto, you coming?
Ianto looks away for a moment.
IANTO
Yea!
When he looks back, Jack is gone. Ianto goes inside, a little puzzled.
Jack, hiding behind a wall across the street, breathes a huge sigh of relief.
