Gwen and her games.... this is wonderful!

Thank you :-)
Gwen should have learnt not to play those games after the last one!

This was very moving. I loved that Ianto has moved on enough to remember the good times with Lisa fondly, and to see things in perspective. And even Jack's answer wasn't as flip or dismissive of the Team's feelings as it usually is. My heart breaks for Owen and Tosh, for different reasons, though I'm glad Owen has Jack and Tosh has Ianto there to understand and support them. And Gwen's answer seemed fitting, and for once it didn't seem like she was rubbing their faces in her "perfect" relationship!

Overall, a much cheerier result than Gwen's last game! :D

Thank you :-)
It wasnt meant to be cheery particularly. More just Gwen putting her foot in things as usual, unintentionally hurting those around her.
It was meant to be bitter sweet because although the others have all suffered, they all have each other to see them through the pain and to a happier place (if someone would just kick Owen until he realises what he is missing!)
Gwen wasn't rubbing their faces in her perfect life. It really was an innocent question - she expected them all to talk about something from their childhood as she had but, as Owen pointed out, they were thinking of real love and she was thinking of her first crush - the first time she really saw a person in that way.

I love everyone's answers but Owen's and Tosh's really broke my heart ....
It is nice to see that Ianto can now see through the past and focus happiuly in the present ...
Jack's answer is so Jack but he let his Ianto know that he would be one of those to be rememebred and loved forever.
Beautiful!

Thank you :-)
I wish Owen had really seen Tosh. She deserved to be happy. And could probably have made him happy too.
If Ianto dwelt on the past too much he would have gone mad. Much better to focus on the present and the happiness he shares with Jack :-)

Beautiful and bittersweet. Well done. <3

Sweet! I love what Jack and Ianto say. Poor Owen and Tosh - Owen's true love died, and Tosh can't even say that she loves Owen - not with him right there.

I feel oddly sorry for Rhys too. He doesn't even rate a mention from Gwen, who seems not to know the difference between love and a crush. Which, come to think of it, sounds right in character. Apparently her long ago crush meant more to her than Rhys does now.

(Hmmm, I think my cynical mood is colouring my comments).

Thank you :-)
Ianto obviously loved Lisa - he was willing to risk the whole world for her! But he loves Jack too, and doesn't want to dwell on the past too much.
Someone needs to keep hitting Owen until he sees Tosh - they would be good for each other.
I dont think Gwen meant any disrespect to Rhys. She just phrased her question wrongly. She didnt really expect the others to take it so seriously and talk about their soulmates or love of a lifetime. She just meant to play a light hearted game and expected the others to follow her lead and tell a story from their childhoods. Hers was the first person she really fancied, not her first true love.
