Confidences and Revelations

"It isn't my name. It's his. I stole it," Jack told Tosh. "...I didn't know he was so hot."

She'd never seen Jack - authoritative, calm Jack - so off balance. "Something happened, and I can't die."

Her heart wept for him, a man without a home in time or space.

"I was a con man," he confessed, in love with someone about to die. Tosh took his hand, thinking of the secrets he had kept from everyone for so many years. Alone, isolated, regardless of whoever shared his bed.

She took his secrets as a gift, and cherished them.
