Title: Not Enough
Author: badly-knitted
Characters: Owen, Diane
Rating: G
Spoilers: Out of Time
Summary: Sometimes loving someone isn't enough.
Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: For the prompt 'Let Her Go', one of the prompts I didn't get around to using for tw100's challenge 292: Billboard Hot 100 last year. I've dug them out again to supplement the prompts I got from my f-list, just because there are still loads I wanted to use.

Guest: I love it too, and it made for a fun prompt!
Gwen's supposed compassion is extraordinarily selective. If she doesn't see the people or know them personally, she doesn't care if they die. As for the team and Rhys, their feelings are of no interest to Gwen, but a complete stranger she's only just met will get smothered by her unwanted and frankly condescending mothering. The only consistent thing about the character is that she never learns from her mistakes and seldom even seems to realise that she's screwed up.

I love Janto: The Rift serves up many and varied beings. Torchwood really don't mind the vegetarians, lol!
No, thankfully we're not in a flood risk area and although we're gettin g a lot of bad gales and rain, we'rfe okay. I count my blessings every day, so many people are losing everything. Thank you.

Owen had only known her a few days, but he'd fallen head over heels for Diane. She was a remarkable woman, especially considering the time she was from, where women were still expected to be dutiful wives and homemakers.
She was different. Her self-confidence, independence and pioneering spirit drew him like a moth to a flame; it was inevitable that he'd get burned.
He loved her, and though she said she felt the same, it wasn't enough to make her stay.
Despite begging and pleading, even offering to go with her, he had no choice but to let her go.
