No longer smiling, Kynan stopped before the portal and looked at her. Leisurely, he reached out and keyed in a code on the control panel next to it. Instantly, the familiar golden arches of her neighbourhood McDonald's flashed into view. It stayed there, taunting her with the longing for the familiar. People came and went, cars drove by, all unaware of the drama taking place just out of sight.

Calculating male eyes fixed on her. "You want it, don't you? You're shaking. Step through. Go on. I'll walk in there with you. It will only cost you what I asked before." His voice was encouraging, softly persuasive. Kind.

Horror sickened the pit of her stomach as her eyes whipped to his. He still wanted to collect. He offered all this, and all it would cost her was her honour.

She stared through the portal … and fought to remind herself of what that world also held. Cheap apartments and unfulfilling jobs. A slow death of loneliness. And somewhere, a father who had never loved her.

Slowly, she straightened. Her sight was wavy with annoying moisture, but her vision had never been clearer. She glanced at her sons, who she had forgotten until that moment. They stared back at her with solemn eyes, waiting.

With a hard glance for Kynan, she said with contempt, "Your price is too high." Slinging an arm around each twin, she walked with dignity from the room, ignoring the shards of glass lodged in the region of her heart.
