Challenge: 430 - Key
Notes: Jack finally gets everything he ever wanted, just a second too late

It had felt like a forgiveness, as The Doctor slipped the key in his hand, promising him that he could come back and travel with him any time.

After everything they'd been through -the year that never was- travelling with The Doctor would be never quite be the same. Still, the promise of new adventures would always hold allure.

As he stood by the rail, watching the water ripple across the bay, the key on its string felt heavy around his neck. A century and a half of waiting to escape, now he was just glad to finally be home.

What a difference a year can make to someone's perspective. One day he'll travel again. but not for a while.
