Chuckling at Ianto's reaction to the dust on his cheek (damn, he must have missed a spot), Jack took a sip of coffee and let the liquid roll around in his mouth before he answered. "Silent partner?" Jack asked, lifting an eyebrow in Ianto's direction. "When have you known me to stay silent in... well... anything?"
Though he would. Because he wanted Ianto to have something here and if it was a coffee shop that would make him happy? Well, that's why Jack had let his money earned from both cons to his wages from Torchwood blossom over the years. What good was the proverbial 'rainy day' fund if it never got used?
