Rhys waited until Kelly was asleep and then he scribbled a hasty letter he knew would be insufficient.
Dear Kel,
I'm sorry I got you involved in all this. The demons are my problem and always have been. I'm the one they're after, and I'm the only one who can finish this. There's a portal in the inn that will take you home. Just tell it where you want to go and it will take you there. Tell Adam I'm sorry, but this is just the way things have to be. Don't try to find me. It's better this way. I'll always remember the time we had together. Maybe we'll meet again someday on the other side of the Nexus. Until then, I wish you only peace.

He folded the letter and left it on the nightstand, brushed a kiss against her forehead, tucked the blankets around her, and disappeared into the night.
