“This was just delivered to the Tourist Office,” Ianto said, setting the basket in the centre of the boardroom table.
Jack immediately stood from his place at the head of the table, leaning forward to peer curiously inside. “What is it?”
“Thank You gift from Mr and Mrs Hughes. You remember, the bride’s parents from that wedding we sorted out last month.”
“Ah yes!” Jack grinned. “The horrible thing with eyes!”
“Not the kindest description of the bride’s father, but it WAS accurate at the time.” Ianto smiled reminiscently. “It’s nice when we can fix things so easily and make everyone’s day a bit better. They were lovely people, and very grateful for our help.”
“Hang on though!” Gwen said. “How can they be sending us a Thank You gift? Didn’t we Retcon everybody?”
“No, just the bride, the ushers, and some of the catering staff.” Jack reached into the basket. “Owen didn’t have enough Retcon for everyone, and Mr and Mrs Hughes promised not to tell anyone what really happened. Oooh, chocolates! Not the cheap kind either!”
“And freshly baked muffins and cupcakes too,” Ianto added. “Mr Hughes is a baker by trade.”
Jack beamed. “Nice to be appreciated!”
The End
