Five more days. That felt like so long away. She’d stayed behind at the New York Institute even though she could have gone with them. “Are you sure you can’t come home sooner?” She didn’t mean to sound so needy, but they’d already been gone a week. It didn’t feel right without them there. Lydia let out a sigh and said, “Sorry, I just….miss you.” The last part came out as more of a mumble than anything. “You’ll still call me every day, right? I suppose I could always get a portal over. Nothing is really going on here. I should have gone with you in the first place.”
Tara managed a soft laugh. “I can try. Most of what we came for is done, they shouldn’t need me for the last few days. I just need to clear it with the superior here.” he offered. He had once only wanted to go home to his own timeline, but with no way to get back, he had settled into a new place, with a new name to hide who he was. He had found someone to love, and he wanted to be home fairly badly. “I’ll send word if they let me come home, I promise.” he said, smiling. “I love you, Lydia.”
