In the days leading up to their departure, Collins and his family were a whirlwind of activity, preparing themselves for the journey to Lara’s world. Jane gathered essential supplies, Stella ensured everyone had appropriate attire for the occasion, and Max made arrangements for their affairs back home.
As they gathered in the foyer, ready to embark on their adventure, they exchanged nervous yet excited glances. “Are we really doing this?” Jane whispered, her voice trembling with anticipation.

Max placed a reassuring hand on Jane’s shoulder. “We’re in this together, as a family.”
With a wave of Lara’s hand, a shimmering portal appeared before them. “Are you ready?” she asked, her voice tinged with excitement.
Collins took a deep breath and nodded, his heart pounding with anticipation. “Let’s do this.”
