"Just Tosh," Ianto repeated with a nod, "and a puppy. And you." He could handle that. They were all safe. They had never abandoned him or hurt him, and they'd only killed Lisa because Jack said so. "I can...that sounds safe. I can handle that." He could be strong enough...Owen needed him to be strong enough.
"Not Jack." It was said emphatically. Jack had abandoned him, and their relationship...if it could be called that...had never exactly been stable. He didn't want Jack around. It hurt too much. "Not Jack and not Gwen." He didn't dislike Gwen or anything like that, but he couldn't stand her empathy and her concern and her pity. It was just too much. And the way Jack looked at her sometimes...he couldn't take it. "Nobody else."
