Can anyone clarify where exactly did Neera go in the romance ending? I know it is meant to be open to interpretation, but I really wanna know. Maybe some hints from the devs or something?

Perhaps it's simply meant to signify the deep understanding between the two that CHARNAME always knows what his Chaotic Neutral waifu will do.
Perhaps CHARNAME noticed that they were out of milk, and so deduced that she's gone to the market?
AO may take eons to come to such things since AO still has a "superior" above him unknown to everyone in the planes (that is from the novel after he awarded Cyric his godhood and bestow him the 2 offices together with a new "Mystra" since the old one quits (having to die so many times "in Prime Material Plane moreover in that 1 world that 1 continent alone" as the "ONLY" greater deity to have held such high "death" records.
Mind you, Greater Dieties don't usually die permanent deaths even on their home plane ^^ yet old Mystra" suffered this fate 2 times in Faerun.
"As CHARNAME approached, he saw Neera with flowers in her hair amidst a soothing grove in the infancy of twilight. She gave CHARNAME one of her "looks" that was one part "you're such a lout," and the other part "you're my lout," as her outstretched hand clasped tightly onto his. Neera giggled as she patted CHARNAME's behind. "Clear sailing from now on, ok CHARNAME? I think you've had enough stormy weather for one lifetime."
Realizing that his journey was at an end, CHARNAME smiled and let out the laugh that he'd forgotten he had. As allies surrounded him with boisterous affection, CHARNAME felt a burst of emotion on the verge of overtaking him. That is, until the aroma of a feast fit for a demi-god overpowered his senses.
Keldorn regaled anyone who would listen with stories of long-forgotten knights. Kagain challenged everyone to a drinking contest, but was silenced when Mazzy decided to kiss the brutish berserker on the cheek. Boo knocked a whole boat of gravy onto Edwin's robes, causing Aerie to spit take all over... Edwin's robes. Sarevok didn't say much, but was caught smiling at least once when Haer'Dalis did his best bardly impersonation of Irencius. Jan was quite irked that no one tried the radish pie, and Viconia did not appreciate being on "hangover duty" with multiple casts of restoration.
The party lasted for days as guests came and went, but Neera never strayed from CHARNAME's side. She was quite adamant however, that his wine glass never be empty. Sleep finally threatened to overtake him as CHARNAME puffed on a pipe under the boughs of Turlang the Treant. Who would choose godhood over this?"
Thought it was pretty clear
Edit: bad grammar have I
Which was a little confusing, not least because of the aforementioned "friends without benefits" status of their relationship, since the only action CHARNAME got in the whole trilogy was with three different Drow.
As a character I love her personality and attitude. The romance portion seems to be 'just there' when compared to original Bioware ones. I feel a stronger bond within Jaheira, Aerie and even Viconia's romances, they open up more and their progression feels a bit more natural to me.
Honestly I find her romance to be, if nothing else, refreshing compared to Fixer Fantasy #1-3. Viconia is outright psychotic with trying to findmuck the PC, Aerie is severely emotionally damaged and you probably shouldn't date your therapist (though the Haer'dalis conflict where you treat her like a human capable of choosing for herself makes it a tiny bit better, I feel), and Jaheira is just obnoxious, treating any disagreement or moment where she is not the number one priority (including in the five seconds between combats, if she is so inclined) as a romance breaker.
In the face of all that, having someone who's just pretty good friends, kind of into one another, joking and sharing good times? Yeah, I can appreciate that, even if it does get a little wilted towards the end of the storyline.
