tw100's challenge #108, "slip of the tongue"
Jack found Gwen sitting at Toshiko's workstation, absently stroking the mouse, thoughtful.
"Miss her?" As if he had to ask.
"I'd never thought about Torchwood without them, Jack."
"Now everything reminds you." Jack nodded. "It's like a tooth."
Her look said he was mad.
"Okay, remember losing your baby teeth?"
Thinking that far back almost felt like the Rift was opening. Rocking her wobbly incisor, the tinny taste of blood, until... "The hole, I could never keep my tongue from feeling in that empty space."
"Not until the new tooth grew in, right?" Jack's eyes held hers until she understood.
