Ianto nudged up against Toshiba's she bobbed a tea bag into a mug, seemingly lost in her own thoughts. ‘I heard you were out on a date last night.’
Tosh blinked then went wide-eyed. ‘No one's supposed to know about that! How do you know?’
‘I know everything,’ he replied with a coy smile. ‘Or maybe Jack might have mentioned it.’
She gave Ianto a playful slap. ‘That was meant to be our little secret.’
‘Ha! Jack keep a secret with his big mouth?’ Of course they both knew he could keep big secrets, but little secrets and snippets of gossip were fair game. ‘So?’
‘I only kept it quiet because it'll probably go nowhere. I didn't want to make a big deal of it. And you know what Owen's like. I'd never hear the end of it. Just more teasing about Tosh's hopeless love life.’
Ianto snorted. ‘Owen had his chance. So what if he teases? It's only because he's secretly jealous. Might do him some good if a few loose lips let slide that you were back out on the dating scene.’
Tosh studied his face then frowned. ‘Jack didn't tell you, did he?’
‘Nope. You just did.’
