Chapter 30: Visiting

Amelia's visit passed quickly and this time it was Sarah who returned her home rather than Jareth. He had given her a crystal to transport her Aboveground and back.

Sarah knocked on Celeste's front door and after a moment's wait it was opened.

"Hey Sarah, do you want to come in this time?"

"Sure Celeste. I was wondering if I could use your phone anyway."

"Of course, who are you calling?"

Sarah set Amelia's bag down before replying. "Just my dad, I was thinking of dropping in, but I didn't call before I left home and I wouldn't want to interrupt."

"Ah I see, go ahead then."

Sarah went into the kitchen as Celeste took Amelia's bag into her bedroom to unpack it.

Sarah picked up the receiver and dialed the number. After a few rings Sarah was going to hang up, but then she herd her father's voice.

"Hey dad, it's me."

"Oh, hi Sarah, how are you?"

"Fine, just fine. I'm just over at Celeste's and I was wondering if it would be alright if I dropped in on my way home, I need to talk to you."

"Yeah that's fine, Karen's not here though, so if you had something to say-"

"Oh no, she doesn't need to be there."

"Well alright. See you soon then."

Sarah hung up the phone smiling to herself. Celeste walked into the kitchen at that point, Amelia trailing behind her.

"So are you going over there?"

Sarah nodded slowly, "Yeah, Karen's not home, so even better. I needed to talk to my dad." She was cut off as Celeste noticed the ring gracing her third finger.

"Ah, I see. That boy of yours proposed and you haven't told Richard yet."

Sarah blushed slightly and Celeste had all the answer she needed. "Best of luck to you both Sarah. I won't stand in your way any longer then."

"Thanks," Sarah knelt down to Amelia's height and hugged her. "Come see us again soon Mel."

Amelia hugged her back and nodded. "Yep, see ya soon Sarah."

Sarah approached her father's house a little warily. She hadn't seen to him since Karen had wished Amelia and Toby away. Sure she's just spoken to him, but it wasn't the same. She finally reached the door and rang the bell.

Her father appeared at the door and smiled warmly. "Hey Sarah, come inside."

"Hey dad, where's Karen?" She asked as she entered the house.

"Oh, I don't know, out with some friend I suppose."

"Alright then. Um, dad, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" he asked, looking a little concerned."

"Well dad, Jareth proposed…and I said yes," she smiled at him, hoping he would be happy for her.

"Sweetie that's great," he said hugging her briefly. "So when's the big day?"

"Well we're not sure yet, not for a while though."

"Alright then. Ah Sarah, is this going to be a big wedding?"

She wished she could roll her eyes at that point. He was worried about the cost. What a surprise. "Look, you don't have to worry. It will probably be a small ceremony and it won't cost you a thing."

"Sarah that's not what I meant."

She clenched her fists, trying not to lose her temper. After all, she was out of here now. She was engaged and she was out of here. "Yes it is, but don't worry dad. I'll drop by again some time soon." With that she turned on her heel and left the house. When she was out of sight she pulled out the crystal and disappeared from the world she had always known and returned to the one place where she belonged.
