Jack breathed in deeply and looked down. It wouldn't be fair to show the Doctor what he knew, would it? Not if it'd make him feel like this, knowing it was there but not now. Knowing it was possible but out of reach.
But rather naively, he thought he could show him other things. Compartmentalise his shifting memories enough to just show him the times the Doctor should know about. How they met, them and Martha. Towing the Earth home. Important things.
Tentatively, he reached his hand out and took hold of the Doctor's, lifting it slightly towards his own face, but not entirely. More to make the gesture to help him understand than anything else.
