Jane had gone home and worried that her mother or Cassandra would wonder about the bandage on her neck but Dr. Cullen did a good job and no one noticed.

Though she found her dreams were slightly richer as if there was something strange and full of passion inside her. She would wake up and try to write them but they slipped from her hand like the morning fog.

When a door to Milliways appeared, she at first hesitated but then went through to order a pot of tea and keep trying to write what she could not quite grasp.

"I believe that I am fine for now. How are you doing?"

"Well before the whole Bound part, was actually all right. One of my friends got into a spot of trouble, but he's fine now. And well, my girlfriend and I have come to an understanding about some things." Even though he still didn't know that he had scratched her, but George was glad not to be keeping secrets from Nina anymore.

"I didn't know you had a lady in your life. When did you meet her and what's she like?"

"Oh well, we've only been dating a few months now. She's wonderful. Her name's Nina. She's funny, nice, and sweet. Speaks her mind."

"May I ask how you met?"

George nodded, "Was at the hospital we both work at. She's the senior staff nurse there. First meeting was well... we didn't get along at first, or she didn't like me much. Told me off a few times before I could really talk to her."

"What happened to make her like you?"

"Well, I wasn't acting like myself at the time, and she later said she saw how I was with some of the patients. I just like to sit with some of them. Especially when I knew they didn't get visitors and just wanted a friendly face."

"That is lovely that she was able to see you as you are."

George glanced down, "Well some of it. The rest... well she just found that out. I think it's still sinking a little." Though seeing him change did help break the ice on the topic at least.

"I have heard that if you truly care for each other then you will find a way to make things work."

George nodded, "I think it will now. I thought she wouldn't be able to accept me. That I had to push her away to keep her safe."

"You must try and have more trust in people, Mister Sands."

George sighed, and then explained, "It's more people trusting me. I'm not... well I'm not always like this."

"Then you should consider how to be more pleasing since you seem a kind young man to me."

George fidgeted, and played around with the glass where a few drops of brandy still clung to the bottom.

"I do, it's more something I can't completely control. Trying to, with a bit of luck."

"I do hope you can for if you have found a woman that you wish to be with then you should be."

"Well see how it goes," He smiled and shrugged.

He peered closer at her. She was reminding him too much of some of the patients at the hospital.

"You sure you don't need anything?"

Jane almost reaches for the bandage on her neck,

"I think I will be fine, thank you."

The hand to her bandage made him pause for a moment. That with the pale skin... suggested disquieting things. But no, that couldn't be the case. She wouldn't have anything like that in her world, and attacks aren't allowed here.

"All right, I think I heard you can ask for a room from the bar? I should go take care of that," he started to get up.

"Oh yes. I do hope your time passes quickly here, Mister Sands."
