"Sure you won't stay the night?" Jack asked hopefully.
Ianto shook his head. "I need to get some sleep. If I stay here, I can guarantee I'll be awake half the night. Probably wind up on the floor too. You really ought to think about getting a bigger bed."
"How exactly would I fit one in here?" Jack gestured around his bunker. "There's barely room for my cot."
"Not my problem." Ianto leaned in for a kiss. "Goodnight, Jack." Climbing the ladder, he headed up to the Tourist Office, checked everything was turned off, and let himself out.
He hadn't taken three steps when the wind slammed into him so hard he staggered, but he forged onwards. All he had to do was get to his car and drive home, then he could sleep in his own bed. Besides, his houseplants were probably missing him…
Halfway up the ramp, another powerful gust ripped the air from his lungs, and he stopped, gasping for breath.
On the other hand, his plants would survive another night alone.
"What are you doing back here?" Jack asked when Ianto reappeared in the Hub.
"It's a bit windy out, think I'll stay here after all."
