Drabble: Easy Way Out

Title: Easy Way Out

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Gwen, mentions Rhys, Owen & Diane.

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 386: Admission at tw100

Spoilers: Combat.

Summary: Gwen decides to confess to Rhys about her affair with Owen.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

Whatever she’d had with Owen was over; it had just stopped. Gwen wasn’t sure how she felt about that. It seemed something had been going on between Owen and Diane, and she hadn’t noticed although everyone else had.

It didn’t matter though, she still had Rhys, but perhaps she should come clean with him now the affair had ended. She doubted her admission would go down well with him but she needed to clear her conscience.

The answer was so simple: Retcon. She could tell Rhys everything, get his forgiveness, and wipe the slate clean.

He wouldn’t remember a thing.

The End

One of Gwen's biggest blunders. I'm glad Rhys didn't forgive her because she didn't deserve it. She didn't want to make up for cheating on Rhys with Owen, she just wanted to salve her own conscience by having Rhys tell her it was okay. Well, it wasn't, and if Rhys had remembered he probably would have dumped her. He deserved better.

Thank you!
