Camilla's fingers began tapping lightly against her knee as several conflicting thoughts passed through her mind. She had not forgotten her family. She had not forgotten the New Terra Realm, nor had her attachment to her home suddenly disappeared simply because she had spent some time on Earth. The thought of returning immediately even brought a faint ache to her heart. She missed them. She missed the familiar atmosphere of the realm, the people she had known for so long, and the life she had lived before meeting Stan.
But at the same time, she found herself reluctant to leave.
She stared through the window again, watching the passing lights and the countless people moving through the evening streets. For reasons she could not fully explain, the sight no longer seemed as alien as it had when she first arrived. There was something peaceful about it, and she was not yet ready to give that feeling up.
Eventually, Stan broke the silence.
