John
As John settles in next to her, Emi lets out a small content sigh. Her eyes open briefly, looking up at the magician before she puts her head back on his chest.

A moment passes. She looks at the screen, realizes that no time has passed in the film since John had left. “Everything okay?” she asks. Her tone is just slightly curious, but sleepy.

“Everything is fine,” John reassured her quietly, dropping his spell and delighting in the feeling of Emi snuggling up with him. “I persuaded Ian to moderate his chastisement of Grayson, lest their conversation disturb you. They are both okay now and have gone to their separate corners. Well, Ian to his room and Grayson to the kitchen.

“I asked Nora to rewind to where I left. I didn’t want to miss the best part,” he said hugging her. “Although I have to confess that, as enjoyable as the film is, getting to be here with you is what I think is the best part.”
