The New Job
Gwen walked into the flat, into Rhys's warm arms.
"You're home late."
"Mmm. New job tomorrow."
"Promotion?"
She flopped onto the settee. "More a... uh... transfer. To special ops." She couldn't say it: Torchwood. Torchwood. Torchwood.
"Special ops? What's that?"
"Different stuff. You know, like CSI. In-depth casework."
"I thought you were happy where you were. You were talking about getting a desk job. Maternity leave."
"But this is exciting!" said Gwen, and for a moment true joy shone in her eyes. Torchwood. Jack. Aliens.
Rhys kissed the top of her head. "I'm proud, love. Congratulations."

I like how excited she is. "Torchwood. Torchwood. Torchwood."

Of course Gwen was excited about Torchwood - it thrilled her as soon as she discovered it. But it was chasing that guy in the greatcoat that got her into it in the first place.
Mind you, it isn't every day you see a corpse talking.
