After the meeting was concluded, Eric looked outside. It was getting dark. The meeting with the dragons had lasted five hours, and he was ready for a hot shower and cuddle time with Mia. He looked over at Jessica mooning over Liam. Maybe it was time for a conversation.
"Liam. Jessica. Lets go."
Back at the truck, Eric turned the vehicle on and started the drive back home. The young couple in the back were talking excitedly about the possibilities of this new world. Eric heard snippets of the conversation and grumbled to himself.
"What if there are Elves?" Jessica said, her eyes wide and bright.
"Elves? Pfft. What about dwarves?" Liam responded.
Jessica's silence caused Eric to look up in the rear mirror. Her face had gone from bright and innocent to somber and reflecting.
