This came to me once I listened to the radio play "Broken" by Joseph Lidster. My reaction was "I'm unworthy!" as I felt the story was very good and I would love to be so evolved as a writer. In my push to be that good but still remain true to my own voice as well as thoughts and beliefs about these two characters, I present this. This story plays out what I believe would have been the follow-up to "Broken". A one-time sexual encounter leads to a sense of freedom for one, fretting in another, and confusion in both. This is another attempt on my part to answer the question of not only why Jack didn't say he loved Ianto as the Welshman lay dying of poisoning by the 456 in "Children of Earth" but why Ianto didn't need to hear it in "The Lost Files:House of the Dead". This story is offered in the backdrop of Alannah Myles's "85 BPM Leave It Alone", a song I suggest you listen to a few times before diving into this, as I believe it does the best job of describing the complexity of Janto. Enjoy.
