I'm still mad at you, she mouths to him over the kitchen table when Karen isn't looking.

Three days ago she and Gwen had gone with the Goblin King—Sarah's husband, now—back to where he lived for something of a weekend. Yesterday, Sarah insisted that they go to her parents' house so that he could be introduced.

He stabs a green bean with his fork and quirks his glamoured brows together. Jareth takes care to look more human when he's in Sarah's world, but there is something about him—and probably her, now—that seems slightly off.

We'll talk later, he responds.

Robert quizzes Jareth about his life, his job, what he's like while Karen asks Sarah questions she'd rather not answer.

"When did you two meet? This is the young man you told me about earlier, isn't it? Do you two have… plans?"

"Oh—a while ago. It's not as if I keep track, you know." Sarah punctuates the statement with a smile, even though she knows when she met him… But when he met her is a different story, and not one she relishes explaining. "Yes, and yes. But," Sarah says, hoping to head the excited woman off, "you'll have to allow those to present themselves."

Dinner continues in the same drawn-out fashion, and the second the last morsel of food has been cleared from everybody's plates, Karen whisks them away, dragging her husband with her into the kitchen.

"What is it, Sarah?" Jareth asks her, but instead of answering, she leads him outside onto the porch.

"You never told me." She rounds on him, poking him in the chest with an accusing finger. "Not once did you say that I had nothing to worry about because I was the person I was… jealous of!"

"Jealous, Sarah?"

"Yes!" The former runner all but shrieks. "Days—weeks—I don't even know, how long I spent worrying about something which was apparently nothing. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I thought you understood."

"Obviously not!" She fumes.

"I could not just tell you anything about your future, just as you could not tell me anything about mine." He pauses for a minute, as if considering the conversation. "Sarah, if you thought that I had been united with somebody else, why did you answer the summons?"

"They're damn hard to ignore, that's why. And… When I got there, I guess I got it. I kind of thought that if I didn't go then that I'd be banished from the labyrinth forever or something like that, so of course I would go. It would have just been nice to have some sort of validation, okay?"

Karen calls from inside and Sarah steps over the threshold into the house.

"You coming? I guess we're done here."

Jareth halts her progress into the house by grabbing her wrist and squeezing it lightly.

"For what it's worth, precious, I am sorry."

Sarah smiles.

"Come on, I think Karen's made peach pie for dessert."

On March 3, 1998, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Williams welcomed Octavia Kingston, born to Jareth and Sarah Kingston, sister to Zachary Kingston.
