The door from the end of the universe leads into Meg's bedroom from what should have been a very small walk-in closet. (Meg puts duct tape across the catch on the doorknob, to keep the door connected to Milliways -- simple, but she and Laura tested it very carefully and it seems to work

From the bedroom, to the apartment, and into the city beyond, Edward followed simply enough. This was the first time he'd decide to go backwards within time in Milliways. And especially into a time he'd already been part of.

He looked rather resignedly relaxed though. At peace with following behind the young woman who led him. Carrying a medium sized bag, with a box-shaped object inside it, from his right hand.

They neither of them exactly look out of place.

He looks rather like any of the students who live in this part of the city and make their ways up and down the streets.

And as for Meg, who actually is one of those students, this is about as "in place" as she could ever be. Of the various places she could lay claim to or that could lay claim to her -- southern Ontario and her parents' house, Milliways and the end of the universe -- this is the one she chose for herself.

This is home.

It's just another two blocks. Turn left at the corner.

He does very well at not sticking out when he wants to. It's far easier than most people give it credit to blend in, especially when you're aiming for it, and even more so when people aren't on the look out for you.

He doesn't usually choose to walk around places out the open a lot, but there really isn't much of a choice here. So he nods. And he follows. Well, her thoughts at least more than Meg herself.

Alain has lived here since the summer, but it still registers in Meg's mind as his new apartment.

Were she alone, she'd let herself in with the key in her purse. As it is, though, she'll knock, and wait for Alain to open the door.

"Hi," she says, when the door opens, all but standing on tiptoe to kiss Alain's cheek.

She'll wait till they're inside the apartment, though, to continue.

"Edward, this is my fiance, Alain Gagné. Alain, this is my friend, Edward Cullen."
