Explorean Cozumel, Cozumel, Mexico

It had been a bright, clear morning when Anders and Kathy got into the portal in Fandom, and it remained bright and clear when they stumbled out of the Portalocity terminal attached to the Explorean resort.

But Mexico was hotter -- much hotter -- and the water was a clear aqua, instead of the muddy gray of Fandom's bay. Anders sighed in pleasure as he reached for Kathy's hand.

"I can already tell this is going to be a very relaxing two weeks."

"You're just...calm," Kathy said. She reached for his hand and brushing his fingertips over her lips. "Dante gets me when I'm spiraling. He understands and can kind of...talk me down? Talk me through it? Something like that. But you help keep me from spiraling in the first place."

She shrugged, unable to explain better than that.

"You center me, too," Anders said gently, rolling the pads of his fingers over her lips. "Like ... even when things are completely insane for us, this makes sense."

Kathy nodded, pressing kisses against them. "Exactly," she said. "You're where I should be. You're home. You're family. You and Dante. When I'm with you, I'm whole. Or, at least, as close as I get these days."
