"Lovelace!"
It worked! I tugged the connection and pulled her, bringing her back here.
"Huh?"
"I'm so glad you're okay, Lovelace!!"
I don't care about anything else. I just want to hug her, to cherish her.
"Aurea? How did you? Oh… Of course."
She hugs me back, holding me in her arms.
"Of course you would crack the code to bring me back. It's you, after all. Thank you."
"Shhh… Don't say anything. I'm here. You're here."
"Yes, we're here. I love you."
"I love you too."
I cup her face in my hands and kiss her. A tender, loving kiss.
We stay like that for I don't know how long. When we part, I manage to finally say it.
"I don't want you to disappear on me ever again."
"I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault. You had no way to know it."
She smiles at me, then looks around.
"Are we still in the dungeon? Where are the girls?"
"The girls?"
They are with me right now, as I am trying to create the spell. Where are they?
"Yaci? Ingela? Kwarah?"
