Can it be? Part 4
Gwen gently places the box on the desk as jack takes a seat in the chair.
Jack carefully lifts the lid. he stares down at the contents of the box. he looks away from the biox as he feels a stong wave of pain wash over him. He thought he could do it. He thought that he got over it. But it looks like he didn't.
Gwen sees the pain in Jacks eyes. "Jack are you ok?" she asks wishing she could do something
He looks up at her and flashes a fake grin "Ya Just thinking of something" His Grin fades and he sighs. he rests his head in his hand and looks down at the box. "I thought i could do it but i can't"
"What do you mean?"
"I thought i could come back here, to earth and get on with my job. Stop being upset about Ianto, stephen , Owen, and Tosh. But i don't think i can." Jack sighs keeping back his tears and trying to show no emotion at all in front of gwen
"Of course you can Jack. You've done it before in the past."
"Your right that was the past Gwen. Before i meet Ianto. Ianto was special to me. You don't understand that." Jack says getting up from his seat and walks towards the door.
"Jack where are you going?" Gwen calls after him
Jack walks back over to Gwen and grabs something out of the box"For a walk."
Ianto comes running up into the office "Mummy! Mummy! Mummy! Can i ride Myfanwy?"
Jack walks past him as he traces his fingers over the antique stopwatch with iantos name engraved on it
