Really happy you enjoyed these chapters!
I have to say that I was a bit annoyed by Lisa thinking Ianto was 'submissive'- from a few experiences (not mine!!) I've seen, it appears that quite a few people always assume (often wrongly) that the younger (or less experienced/outgoing person might be the more 'submissive' partner in the relationship... probably exactly why Ianto wasn't keen to have his personal life put up to public scrutiny!!!
Gwen will never truly understand why she isn't the preferred choice, though....
