James sighed softly. He stared into the flames and listened to the calls of unknown creatures that filled the night.

A slight smile appeared on his face as the little wolf cub butted against his hand, whining for attention.

His voice was soft as his eyes flickered to Abby's sleeping form. “Where do we go from here?” he murmured. “Every anomaly just leads to more danger.” His voice cracked. “I don't... I can't believe we will ever get back.”

He almost jumped when Abby replied. “We keep going, James. I promise you, I will get you back to your boys.”

I love the way that Abby is strong and keeps Lester focussed.

Poor James, he's really struggling isn't he? At least he's stuck with someone down to earth like Abby... if anyone can get him through it, it's her :(

Terrific drabble.

I'm glad for the Cheering Up James Committee and the actions of its two members thus far!

I've probably said it before on another drabble but I'm so glad Abby is there to keep him going.

I'm just glad Abby is there with him. Otherwise James might just give up.
