I took Glinda back to Trebond and as we drew closer, I noticed her getting sadder—it meant we were getting closer to parting. I took her hand and said, "Glinda, look at it this way. If everything goes according to plan, this will be the last time we'll have to part ways." She nodded, still sad, and I knew I couldn't cheer her up.

After we reached Trebond, I hugged her and whispered, "I'll miss you. Remember the plan." She nodded and said, "Go to the Emerald City on the day of my engagement party—it's in one week, Ozian time." I nodded and said, "I will. I look forward to our next meeting—hopefully, we won't kill my father from the shock."

She nodded and said, "I can't wait until our happiest meeting at home..." "In the Emerald City," I finished. "And neither can I," I added. "I'm very much looking forward to it." I said, smiling at her. As she reached Oz, I waved goodbye to her and she waved goodbye to me—I had to visit Nessa today.
