"Did you come all this way just to tell me that?"

Cal has imagined this moment more than once, meeting his uncle for the first time since both their deaths.

("Please, Cal, I'm begging you. Look. Look, I'm on my knees, is that what you want? Is it? Please, Cal.")

Anyone could come through the door at Milliways, at any time. Just because he has yet to meet anyone from his world doesn't mean it will never happen. There has always been the possibility of seeing Grahame again, and he has always dreaded it.

Maybe it's just the dream, but right now he's calmer than he'd thought he'd be.
