...Another place like that. Do you suppose that's how we've ended up here — we in particular, that is? Because we were already snatched away once, so perhaps now we're...more susceptible to it a second time?

[It's a big hypothesis for someone without a lot of background in science or science-fiction, but uncertain though it is, there's a certain clumsy logic to it.]

I'm just glad we're together. I can bear not being home, I think, so long as it's not — so long as you're here, and it's not like last time.
