Tom could hear Celia calling for him as he squeezed out from the portal. She was coming down the stairs; it was morning and she was ready for work.

“Oh,” she replied unsure.
“I came down for a snack and must have fallen asleep watching the news,” he easily explained, as he went upstairs to get dressed.
