Ianto Jones sat in his car and gazed at his wedding ring. The simple gold band reflected the bright morning sun giving the little piece of jewelry a seeming happiness that it had not held for a long time. It was their anniversary and he supposed today was a good as any to try one last attempt to heal their flailing union. He was not sure what building Gwen worked at but he knew it was by the Plass, so he parked and waited for her to emerge. He had flowers ready and reservations at their favorite restaurant for a surprise luncheon.

When she did come out, it was from a dingy looking tourist center. Ianto started to open the door but stopped when he saw that she was not alone. Linking arms with her was a tall, handsome man in a large military coat. The way Gwen gazed at him and smiled, Ianto could tell it was probably her new boyfriend. It did not seem appropriate to interrupt their moment by reminding her that she did indeed have a husband. Instead, he cancelled the reservations and went back to the library, giving the flowers to the elderly woman who worked at the front counter.

She smiled and cooed, "Why thank you, Gavin. You're such a nice lad."

He had worked there three years and the old lady still could not remember his name, but he had given up on that happening after the first week. Descending the ancient stairs to the large storage room, Ianto went about working on his continuing project: converting the old city records into a digital format. As he worked, he thought back to Gwen and her new beau; something about him seemed oddly familiar. After several minutes of rummaging through his mental database, he remembered where he had seen through his nearly digitized archive of spring of 1957, he pulled up a photo taken near the bay and there he was. The man looked exactly the same as the one he had seen earlier down to the stylish hair and distinctive coat.

At nearly 9:00 pm, Gwen came home to find her favorite chocolates and a small rectangular box with a red ribbon tied around it. Ianto was sitting on the sofa reading and paid no attention to her arrival. When Gwen opened the present, she gasped upon seeing a stunning diamond tennis bracelet and called out excitedly, "Ianto, this is beautiful! What's the occasion?"

Ianto rolled his eyes as he stood and headed toward the bedroom. On his way he stopped and coldly kissed Gwen's cheek before softly replying, "Happy anniversary," then walking into the next room and loudly shutting the door.

Jack Harkness sat at his computer and was surprised to find a message waiting for him: he had been tagged. In order to keep tabs on anyone researching him and Torchwood, Jack had Toshiko develop a system that flagged any related searches being performed in the city. Jack found he was being searched by the archivist at the city library who had been tackling a rather ambitious project of digitizing the old records. The man had found a particularly telling photo of Jack from 1957 depicting him wearing his usual coat. Jack sighed; he thought he had collected all the official pictures of him but apparently not. He was going to have to pay Ianto Jones a visit.
