“It’s been awhile,” she says.
John nods. “Yeah. It has.”
“How is everything – everyone – doing?”
“Atlantis is going great, though now that I’ve said that something bad will ruin the streak.” John smiles wryly.
“That is the way of it.”
They look at each other, trying to remember every last detail of the moment while they are able to.
She is first to look away. “You know that I’d love for you to stay here?” she admits quietly.
He locks eyes with her. Swallows.
“So please understand when I say this next bit that what I’m saying is for your own good.”
John takes a step closer to her and reaches out a hand to touch her face. “What is it?”
“You don’t belong here, John. Your place is at Atlantis. Now that I’m gone, it’s up to you to keep them all safe.”
“Elizabeth-“
She closes the space between them and gently kisses him before pulling back. “You need to let me go.”
“No. Elizabeth!” He watches as she disappears, and with a sudden jolt, he sits up in bed. Sweat beads his forehead, the sheets around him are tangled and there’s emptiness in his heart.
He is alone.
