Life had been very strange since that night in June.
Camden and Katrana had left their anniversary dinner wearing the lovely anonymous gifts. Of course they couldn't possibly know that those gifts were designed specifically to send them back in time and prevent them from getting back (at least not right away). This was compounded by the fact that they were traveling between dimensions (a fact that their anonymous gifter was not aware of). That was what trapped them, unstuck in time in another dimension.
Camden and Katrana has always lived in a world of magic, a place where unbelievable things were possible, where they were both capable of working magic. It was a shock of course, finding themselves in an unexpected place. This shock was made worse by the fact that they'd been reversed age. This was a sort of magic Camden could do on his own, but it had somehow transferred to Katrana as well. They were young again (and Camden couldn't seem to adjust his age anymore).
In the eight months that they'd been stuck in Burnham City they had managed to find jobs, get a decent apartment to live in, and adjust to life while hiding their magic. The hardest part, the part that still stung Camden the most, was being with their familiars. They had left them behind thinking they'd be home in a week, and here, eight months later they had still not returned.
He wasn't sure why he was thinking back on all of this as he walked home from his job at Westerveldt and Parrish, a big law firm in the center of Burnham City. He'd been trying very hard not to think of it since that first night. It was apparent very quickly that they wouldn't find their way home with any conventional methods. That was part of why Camden sought work at W&P; he'd been in that building before and he knew that there was a magic present. He'd been trying to use that knowledge to advance and find a way home.
He pushed these thoughts out of his mind as he neared the one bedroom apartment he shared with his wife. He still hadn't figured out how to get them home; he was no closer today than he'd been on the day they arrived. He opened the door and called to his wife, not sure if she'd have beat him home today.
