Disclaimer: I don't own anyone from Doctor Who. They belong to the BBC. If I did, they'd get to come out and play more often. And Rose wouldn't be stuck in some stupid alternate universe.
Authors Notes: This is the fourteenth in a series of 17 small fics I wrote as an exercise. Each one is based on a song from the fanmix posted at my journal.
Just a warning, this part may send diabetics into sugar shock from the fluff.



Owen surfed the Internet absently, checking eBay and a couple other auction sites for alien artifacts. Laughter from across the room caught his attention and looked in its direction.

Gwen stood near Ianto, laughter making her face light up. She looked beautiful. Owen felt his breath catch in his chest.

It was so unlike him. He'd never really felt like this before. No matter where he was or what he was doing, he thought of her. Clichéd as it was, for him, seeing her was like hearing an unexpected song when you only expected silence.

Gwen laughed at Ianto's story. Without looking, she could feel Owen watching her. He made her so confused. Before Owen, Gwen had always thought she'd been in love with Rhys. But now, this was so much stronger, so much more. Looking up briefly, she met Owen's eyes and nearly gasped. He looked at her as though he couldn't bear to lose her. She couldn't remember Rhys ever looking at her that way.

She smiled softly at him and he smiled back. Then Ianto touched her shoulder to get her attention and they both went back to their work.
