Room 308, Friday Morning

[bitten_notshy]

Jack hadn't really slept after getting back from his date with Emma. He'd taken a token nap, but in the end the excitement got to him. By seven, he was dressed and his possessions had been boxed neatly. (He had no idea how he'd acquired so many things in just over a year, but he had.)

He had a few hours before his portal left, so he rested on his bare mattress, reading the book Ms. Cabot had given him as a way of focusing his mind away from his nerves. He'd have Sebastien in his new world; nothing could go too far wrong.

The door to the room was open.

"Doomed by a duck," Jack said gravely, as if it made perfect sense. "You've cursed me, Karla. It's almost time for my portal -- do you want to walk me to the causeway so we can look for evil water fowl?"

Karla wanted to say no, to dig her heels in and refuse to let Jack leave. But that would only delay the inevitable, and so she nodded and stood up.

"Of course," she said, offering him her hand. "Though I'm willing to bet the real evil water fowl are the flamingos rather than the ducks."
