"Vanished. Into thin air. One moment we were talking. He was standing on my balcony, overlooking the city. I told him to come back to bed. He smiled, said it felt like he'd forgotten to do something, but he was right behind me. The next moment, he disappeared.
Woola came to me in a panic. He can track a scent over hundreds of miles. And John was just... Gone. Not in the city. Not anywhere.” Her hand curls into a first around a handful of the soft knit fabric. Her entire body nestles closer to him.
"Ten years we were apart. I knew he was alive somewhere, I could feel it. Turns out, one of the Thern came, transported him back to Jasoom, purely out of spite. It took him ten years but he outwitted them. Found another amulet and came home to me."
She's not quite sure why she's telling him this, other than its a part of her history. The humor returns to her voice. "He used to joke that the best part of that whole mess was, when he got back, I never complained about him leaving his boots in the middle of the floor ever again."
