Jack was just as shocked. Just as surprised. He had suspected it was how the Doctor felt, suspected it entirely, yes, but he had no confirmation, and to say it he'd been going out on a limb.
But here in stark truth was his confession.
The anger left Jack now and he merely felt sad.
"No," he said with a sad shake of his head. "No, it wasn't. Is that what you would have preferred? If I had just let you? Like you were going to let me? Guess maybe that makes you a stronger man than me, Doctor. Because I'm sorry but I couldn't do that. I can't. I never could."
