The Doctor Dances

Owen found Jack on the roof of the Millennium Centre. What the hell was he doing up there? Stargazing?

"I'm listening to the city," said Jack. "Listen. Up here, you can hear everything."

All Owen could hear was the fucking wind freezing his ears. Then he heard the distant music, the kind Diane loved.

"Dance with me," said Jack.

"No."

But Jack took his hands as if he hadn't heard, and they danced. Owen had not done this since he gave Diane the red dress.

Jack wasn't Diane.

The tears dried on Owen's face as he danced in Jack's arms.
