Summary: Getting his memories back might give Jack more than he bargained for.
Author's note: Just a little something that occurred to me. It might become part of a later fic; it might not.


Jack watched the boy—Dennis—go past with his friends, his heart in his throat. The way Dennis moved—the way he laughed—the tilt of his head—

Rose squeezed his hand in comfort. The Doctor stepped closer, pressing his suit-jacketed shoulder against Jack's. Neither spoke.

At last Jack broke the silence. "He has my eyes," he said.

A young girl, spotty and painfully shy, tried to edge around the group of boys. Dennis noticed, and with Jack's trademark grin, opened the door for her. She blushed as she went through.

Rose smiled. "He has your heart, too," she said.

*hugs Jack*

This must hurt like hell. And I hope it does become part of a longer piece, because he deserves to get some kind of resolution out of this.

What is lovely is the comfort offered by both the Doctor and Rose, each in their own trademark ways. I can completely visualise that scene in my head. Beautiful.

Oh, yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, because you and Dave were the ones who inspired me with your recent drabbles. :):):)
