Apr. 18th, 2009 10:28 pmThe morning after the night before, and nothing can ever really be the same. Nothing can be easy. Jack feels guilt, so much guilt. Guilt but not regret, and in a way that's so much worse, he just can't bring himself to regret what happened.
He took Gwen back to the hospital in the early hours and drove around a little before returning to the Hub. He's there now, in his office, the door shut, his emotional walls built up at their highest. What does he do now? Things have changed. Things will changed, and it's almost as though he wants to mourn that. Things can't go on the way they were. Irrevocably changed forever.
His mind runs with the memories of the night before. Try as he might, he can't kick them. It's not a normal morning at all. He dismisses the UNIT staff as soon as they arrive, and doesn't even leave his office to greet Ianto when he walks through the cog door. What can he say to him? How can he explain it without hurting him? He can't. He really can't.
