Lisa had died three months ago. Ianto knew the time to the day; to the hour; to the minute. There was life before Lisa, then life after Lisa.
Sometimes, in bed, Jack was unusually perceptive. "Three months," he said.
"Reading my mind?"
"You tensed."
Ianto's fingers intertwined with Jack's. The aftermath of fantastic - innovative - sex. "I've changed a lot in three months."
Jack kissed his fingers. "You've blossomed."
There was life before Jack, and there was life after seduction... "If I have, it's because you've given me sunshine and grounding."
"Naw," said Jack, grinning. "All I gave you was love."
