Later that night, Jack and "Harper" met. The two men felt an immediate attraction. Both had experience of war and of close friends having died in it. Jack had to overcome the fear and reluctance over moving the relationship to a romantic level. Jack also demonstrated a strong compassion for others, backing up "Harper"'s story about [[Toshiko Sato]] working as a code-breaker for the government when she nearly fell victim to anti-Japanese prejudice. For his part, "James" knew Jack would die the next day. | Later that night, Jack and "Harper" met. The two men felt an immediate attraction.

Jack eventually struck up the courage to dance with "James" in front of a party of servicemen and their guests. As the [[Cardiff rift]] transported "James" and Toshiko back to their own time, the two men [[kiss]]ed passionately, leaving both in tears. | Jack eventually struck up the courage to dance with "James" in front of a party of servicemen and their guests.
