oOo

Silence descended on the Hub suddenly as Gwen stopped berating Jack and stormed out.

Seeing Jack slumped in his chair Ianto knelt down and, rummaging under the coffee machine, pulled out a dusty bottle, half filled with amber liquid. He poured a generous measure into the freshly brewed mug of coffee, not enough to affect Jack’s abilities if the had another alert but enough to stop his thoughts chasing after one another.

Later Ianto draped a blanket over a snoring Jack, still sitting in his chair. Switching off the light he nodded as a sleepy voice whispered, “Thank you.”
