[Jack picks up and he sounds slightly breathless]

Martha! How are you holding up?

[justwords]

I'm fine, but why do you sound like you just ran a 10k?

[captainspain]

Because I kinda did, long story.

Droids in the subway running I'm okay I promise.

[justwords]

That does not sound okay... are you lying to me?

[captainspain]

Martha don't fuss. I'm fine and I'm not alone either...at least I wasn't.

John was with me.

[justwords]

I don't fuss. Well, I'm a doctor, I'm supposed to fuss but since you asked all gentleman-like, I can let it slide.

Wait? John who?

[captainspain]

John Smith....he's a professor...it turns out our Memories have a shared element and we just kind of connected.

[justwords]

Wait... John Smith... A professor? I used to date John Smith at uni? It can't be the same guy, right? I mean what are the chances...

[captainspain]

Skinny, brown hair...nice eyes a bit of a sugar rush on legs?

[justwords]

[Martha laughed. ]

You know, I don't think I've ever heard him described like that. How do you come up with this stuff?

[captainspain]

It's the first thing that popped into my head when we met in person the first time.

Almost like I'd said it before.

[justwords]

That's strange... I don't remember him mention'n you before but then again we didn't date for long. Anyway, I have the day off... do you maybe want to... I don't know... do something?

[captainspain]

Wait hold on you dated him.......and now he and I not only have someone in our Memory in common..but you too.

This is weird...really weird.

[justwords]

For like a second. We realized that we were better off as friends, but I still chat with him now and again.

Jack, calm down... I'm sure it's a coincidence but is it a big deal?

[captainspain]

It just feels weird.....I guess I'm over thinking things.

So...John isn't seeing anyone now?
