The couple's break only lasted for an additional week before duties arrived. Monica could remain in the Harbor since the Solodrey family had a lot to prepare, but Khan was alone, so he had to leave as soon as Mister Cirvags gave the okay.
Another public and sad goodbye unfolded before a teleport. That was the second time Khan and Monica had to split, but the experience wasn't any easier to face. Actually, the two spent a bit longer in each other's arms since Madam Solodrey had allowed those intimate interactions.
"Try to come back before your birthday," Monica almost begged, squeezing Khan's neck.
"You'll probably still be on Neuria by then," Khan chuckled, his hands sealed on Monica's back.
"I don't care," Monica cried, doing her best to keep her voice down. "Come back anyway."
