Author's Note: Written for
tw100's Challenge 264: holiday food. Possible Miracle Day spoilers. Implied past Angelo Colosanto/Jack Harkness. Got the idea for this at work, when someone came through my lane with several boxed panettone (Italian Christmas cake: think a lighter, fluffier fruitcake with less sugar and none of the rum or whiskey that one finds in fruitcake of the British type).
Christmas, 1950
Perhaps by the family secretary's oversight, Jack Harkness's last known address (a postal box in someplace called Cardiff) ended up on the list of people to whom Angelo Colosanto's wife mailed panettone as presents. Once the package shipped, and since he could not intercept it, Angelo sent a cable after it, to avoid a possible misunderstanding (by his wife or his former flame):
CAKE ACCIDENTALLY SENT
A COLOSANTO
Two days later, a reply arrived:
CAKE ACCIDENTALLY EATEN
WAS DELICIOUS
J HARKNESS
PS SO WERE YOU
So like that man to make a bawdy joke....
