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 can't read their dialogue without hearing their charming accents. Eeliens!

Rhys is such a honey. :-)

A husband like Rhys and a boss/friend/love like Jack, the girl can't go wrong!

(Hey-- Ianto is the only TW man she's never got any sugar off of. She doesn't know what she's missing!)

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

No, but I think she's adorable with Ianto in series 2. I love the friendship they build between them. I love the way they aren't jealous of each other; and the way they sort of tacitly team up against Jack in "Adrift".

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.

Nice little snapshot of a scene I wish we'd gotten to see.
