"Okay, well if you wanna make things awkward we can just go ahead and make them awkward then!" Jessica exclaimed, filled with dubious conviction. But it fell flat because she really didn't have anything to follow that up with. It was awkward. Why hadn't she considered that before chasing down the ghost of Jack's boyfriend?
She was flustered suddenly, the slightest hint of red creeping up high into her cheekbones. This was super awkward. She wasn't sure what to say past who are you and you have pretty eyes. Obviously the ghost ex boyfriend wasn't going to be happy about what was going on between Jack and Jessica. But even Jess didn't know what was going on between Jack and Jessica.
"You seen him. You seen the way he looks and the way he acts. He's a wreck right now and I think it's cause of you. I mean, at least partly, right? And look, I know that this is weird. I'm fully aware of the weirdness but to be honest my life has been nothing but a fucking freakshow for the last two years so why stop it now? I can help you talk to him. You know, give him messages? Don't you wanna talk to him? I know he wants to talk to you."
Despite the awkwardness, Ianto and Jessica had something in common. They both cared about Jack. Jess wasn't sure what it meant just that she had a lot of affection for the man who was way way too old for her but she liked him that way anyway.
