‘Would you please remove your hands from my hips?’ Ianto demanded, raising his voice slightly at this his third request for Jack to relinquish his hold on him.
‘I’m the boss,’ Jack replied.
‘And I’m the employee about to file a formal sexual harassment claim if you don’t cease and desist!’
Jack huffed and finally relented. Ianto sighed in relief. ‘Now go and let me get on with things so that I have time later to make it up to you.’ Jack sulked but also appeared buoyed by the promise of “later”. Ianto caught Tosh staring at him from her desk with a strange expression. ‘What?’
‘Nothing,’ she replied. ‘You’re just so adorable sometimes.’
Ianto rolled his eyes. ‘Don't you start. Bad enough I have Jack thinking that.’
‘You two make such a sweet couple. Most people would give anything to have what you have.’
Ianto cringed at her words, feeling an immense sense of guilt at his own fortune. ‘Tosh, we’re all unlucky in love until the right person comes along.’
‘Some of us are unluckier than others,’ she replied, but without the bitterness she was probably entitled to feel.
‘I have every faith you’ll find your love, Tosh.’
