Summary: Something is lost in the reach between worlds.
It's here, before him now, in wide-eyed joy and misplaced hope: his chance
for revenge. Words much crueler than a sly kiss lay balanced on his tongue.
He's waited for this moment. She's more vulnerable now than ever before,
every bit the naive lass who stepped off the tower and into his world. All he
need do is give life to her delusion, and, like him, she'll become her own
undoing. But his mouth tastes bitter and his heart's rubbed raw when he tells
her the truth instead, sees the little girl inside her die forever.
"Elizabeth, we're not back."
