A/N: A second fill for the square Curtain/Deception

I love Janto: It is. When he first arrived, he didn't even know he was immortal so to find out first that and then have the Tarot girl tell him that the century would turn twice before his waiting came to an end must have been soul destroying. The wait was so much longer than he'd hoped for when he first got stranded on earth, I don't know how he managed to keep hope alive at all. Thank you.

A Shy Anon: That's actually an intriguing idea. It would need to be somewhat AU to the series, still Torchwood set, but... Hmmmm, let me see what I can come up with. With Torchwood's resources it wouldn't necessarily stop him from being part of the team...

Standing at the bedroom window, Gwen stared between the curtains at the deserted streets, hating herself.

She'd lied to Rhys. Again. Told him she was working, when in reality she was here, with Owen.

What was she turning into? She kept telling her colleagues how much she loved Rhys, hated having to deceive him about the true nature of her job, but now she was doing something far worse; betraying his trust.

As much as she hated it, lying about her job was a necessary evil. But this was wrong. She knew she should stop.

She just didn't want to.
