Sometimes it does. Sometimes you get stuck here a while. I've been here... damn, nearly two years now. And I know people who've been here twice that and more. There's no way to tell, really.
Good news is, when you go back, it'll be like no time at all has passed. It'll send you back to the exact point you were taken from. Speaking of, when are you from?
No worries love, I'm used to that, at this point. You've seen mine, I've seen yours, we're square and even.
