Inversion
The Doctor watches Jack flit around the ballroom, dancing and flirting with princesses and multi-trillionaires. Receiving a proposition a minute.
He turns and orders another drink. Why did Rose insist on the New Earth Opening Gala? She's off impressing historians with her "expertise," and he's left standing at the bar, downing whiskey after whiskey.
Not like the damn ethanol even has any effect on him.
A tap on his shoulder. He turns, and Jack's lips press to his, a kiss full of gentle chiding and love.
He smiles. Suddenly he's the only one in the room not consumed by jealousy.
