Taking that hand would mean so many things and how sure was Robert that he was willing to take that hand, he had not even packed away his things. Had he even considered before taking this leap of faith? While he was still thinking a portal appeared and the had slowly began vanishing.
Rita then screamed, "it's now or never Robert!!!" Robert took the leap of faith with all curiosity and then he took her hand and vanished off. Rita had left her father to clean up the mess it would create that this two where missing.
So they where able to come up with a good fairy tale as to why these two humans where missing. Robert's family were traumatized and scared, they would not believe that Robert would jump into the Atlantic Ocean and allow sharks to eat him up. It was a funny story but the best one yet.
