The first time crossing dimensions had been a shock, and not a pleasant one. To find herself across country, without friends, without family, without the prospect of ever fulfilling her dream - yet she had adapted and tried her hardest to do everything in her power to do her very best.
The experience had changed her to the core, she now had new dreams, new hopes for the future, and none of them included changing dimensions again. Yet this was what they were doing and she had to keep telling herself that it was for Eve's sake that she had agreed to this.
She found it harder this time - if that was even possible - maybe because she now her priorities were different, but also because she no longer had the natural place she'd had before as the doctor to fall back on. Maura had replaced her and she had made it clear that she was not about to share her duties with anyone. Still, April tried to adapt once more. She knew she had to. She talked to people, she smiled, she was friendly and she tried not to show just how much she hated leaving Eve with others (especially Robert) on the days when she could not stay with her.
Today though, none of that mattered. She was on edge when they got in the car, and though she was relieved it was just the two of them and Eve, she hated this entire thing.
"No going back," she confirmed to Eliot, reaching out and taking his hand. "No matter what, we're together, and that's all that matters. We're doing this for Eve's sake."
She looked over at where the Director was being helped into a car, tempted to go check on him. "That doesn't look good," she said. The Director wouldn't show weakness like that if it wasn't serious, but right now there was nothing she could do. They had their orders and the cars were getting ready to leave already. She'd have to check up on him - unless Maura did - as soon as they arrived.
