'What's that?' Owen asked, pointing at the new addition to the middle of the coffee table.

Jack rolled his eyes. 'It's a fruit bowl, Owen. Surely you've seen one of those before.'

'I know what it is. What's it doing there?'

Jack sighed. 'One of Ianto's brilliant ideas to get us to eat more fresh fruit and healthy stuff. He replaced the bowl of salted nuts on my desk with unsalted ones and stole my sweets jar.'

Owen picked up an orange. 'Seriously? A hundred kinds of fruit and he picks oranges?'

'What's wrong with that?'

'You can't eat an orange on the go. It's messy and full of pips and the skin needs peeling and stinks to high heaven. Where's the bananas?'

'Tosh is allergic.'

'No one said she had to eat them. Not like you look at one and break out in hives.'

'She said that the smell of them makes her feel nauseous.'

'Great. So now we get stuck with stupid fruit you need half a kitchen to eat?'

Jack picked an apple and bit into it, squirting Owen with its juice. 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away. I'm all for seeing if that's true.'
