Challenge: 363 - Missing
Notes: Life gets hard when you're married to Torchwood

Rhys had learned to get used to Gwen's comings and goings. However the last few weeks they'd hardly seen each other.

Like ships in the night, they kept missing one another.

Rhys's alarm goes off at seven. Just as he's finishing off the last mouthful of toast he crosses paths with Gwen in  their hallway as she heads straight to bed, still in her filth covered clothes.

Later than afternoon, Gwen calls Rhys to let him know she's headed out again and probably won't return until morning. It's shepherd's pie for one again tonight.

Despite everything, he still loves her.
