"Boq?"
"Yes. Madame?" Boq replies, avoiding eye contact with Nessa.
"We're leaving. Tonight. No one'll miss me here, anyways." Nessa smiles a smile Boq hasn't seen in a long time.
Boq tries to hide his own smile at Nessa's enthusiasm as he asks "Where to, Madame?"
"Somewhere no one knows us."
Two days later, Boq and Nessa end up in a city neither of them have even heard of before.
"Well, it's not the Emerald City," comments Boq, "But it is nice."
They walk—well, Boq walks and Nessa rolls—around, and Nessa starts to act different than the forceful Nessa Boq saw two days before. "Boq," she mumbles. "I…I want to apologize."
"Nessa, I'm the one who should be apologizing."
Nessa stares at him.

"You called me Nessa."
"Oh. Right. Sorry, Madame."
"I liked it," Nessa says quietly.
"Okay. Nessa, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have hid my feelings for so long."

Nessa's face turns bright red. "Oh, Boq, that…that's so sweet of you. And I'm sorry for everything I've done to you. I'm a terrible person."
"No, you're not. You're—"
"Yes I am! Look at me! I make you stay with me, I become a horrible governor, and now I find out that you love me? I…I just feel so horrible. I—"
"Nessa, shut up or I'll be forced to shut you up."
"How?" she raises an eyebrow.
"Like this." Boq leans close to Nessa and presses their lips together.
