Jack's eyes closed tightly. It was in his past. A timeline that had gone. He'd never got the full farewell with Rose he'd hoped for. She changed him just as much as the Doctor did and for so long he knew he'd never find her, and for so long he thought she was dead. When he'd finally reunited with her it had hardly been a reunion at al. Far too busy saving the world to be sentimental. And besides, her sentimentality had been mostly saved for another.
He would have liked longer.
Slightly laboured, he opened his eyes again. He should go. He really should go. Especially now he knew this. He should leave before he complicated things.
But go where?
Jack nodded and reached an arm out, touched gently to hers, just below her shoulder. "You're safe," he confirmed, "If you've got the Doctor looking after you, you're safe."
He thought a little on what she said before continuing.
"You said they came through the mirror? Is that here? Can I see it?"
