A countdown clock had seemed like a great idea at the time.
Really, it's still a good idea, objectively. It is very good to know precisely how many seconds are left until the rift opens.
It's just that even when Ford isn't looking at it, he's hyperaware of it. It's like it's looking at him, which is a stupid thing to think. He can feel the numbers ticking down.
He holds the champagne glass in a time before it was still and serene and takes a sip from it that is more bracing than celebratory. He watches the light from the portal glow, antsy and uncertain.
