After the phone call with Adam, Mark had escorted Belle along to the food court. He was really very pleased that her husband was there- it was definitely better than having to explain to her that he wasn't, and that she would likely never see him or anyone else she knew ever again. No one wanted to deliver that particular message.

They talked a little as they walked, about magic and the little girl Amelia and what it meant to be in space. Before long, they were at the food court. Mark found that he did glance in the direction of Isabel's kitchen, but she was nowhere to be seen at the moment.

"Well, this is the food court. Your husband should be here in no time at all. Can I get you some tea or something while we wait?" he asked, leading her over to a table and pulling out a chair for her.

	Bridget blinked. "What?" If any of other friends had told her she was in space, she'd think they were drunk, or joking, or both. Mark wasn't like that when he was drinking and he wasn't one for silly pranks either. This made no sense. "Mark, that's not possible. I know I can be forgetful but I'd remember being an astronaut."

Mark gave her a half-smile, and nodded in agreement. Of course she wouldn't believe him right away. She'd probably think the stress of work had finally made him crack, just as she'd often predicted.

"As far as I know, there are no astronauts here," he admitted, and then looked about to try and locate the nearest external facing window.

He got up from his chair, and held out a hand to her. "Come over here and I'll show you."

Bridget took his hand and made her way over to the window, not sure what to expect. Another surprise party on the other side of it? It wasn't close to her birthday anymore. "Oh, Christ!" She exclaimed when she looked outside. She stepped very close to the window, trying to see evidence that they were simply in a really tall building at night, or on a special effects stage at the studio. Something that made sense. "What the? How?"
