Emily nodded. She got what he was saying. "I guess there's no way to really know, huh?" She felt really silly for having brought this up. It wasn't the kind of thing she normally did or allowed herself to think about. It wasn't like they could go back and get any answers to where they would be.
"I don't know where we'd be, either," she added after a moment, "but I do know that I'm glad you're home. I- I've missed you, Dean. Luna Bay wasn't the same without you."
Even though she'd seen him when he came home for visits, it hadn't been the same. Coming home hadn't felt the same with him away. Regardless of what they were to one another now, she was glad to have him close again, where she could see as much of him as she wanted.
