The next day came sooner than expected, and Jennet was in the living room, sitting on pins and needles.
"Are we going to leave soon?" she asked when her husband appeared from the kitchen, holding a bowl of pumpkin soup. She had been fidgeting since she knew she had to leave for Fantasy Realm.
"Yes," Hue answered softly as he took his place beside her. He gave her a sweet smile to assure her that everything would be fine. However, his wife wasn't as happy as he thought.
"How soon?" Jennet asked. Her anxious eyes gazed deeply at him as she waited for a response.
Hue exhaled deeply. He placed the soup bowl on the table, took her hands and squeezed them. "Tomorrow..."
Jennet's face sank. The news was disheartening. "That's too soon..." Disappointment danced in her wavering tone.
