Faith

Ianto stared at the night lights of the bay, feeling the cold wind. Jack walked up behind him, greatcoat swirling.

Lisa almost destroyed the world. Ianto almost let her. What he had done to Jack, his boss, his lover, was unforgivable. Ianto said aloud, "For a crime so great, what expiation can there be?"

"Expiation is beside the point." Jack was neither angry nor judging, not now. "You paid the greatest price. You lost what you valued most. You lost Lisa. Now you need to come to terms with that."

"Can I?"

Jack smiled. "You can. You will. Believe it."
