away from here.”
We stepped into his apartment and I felt this sense of vertigo. He excused himself to go and get us that drink and then I disappeared from his life.
I was standing with Caroline and she looked at me “You were gone less than 10 seconds. That’s the quickest that this thing…” She didn’t get a chance to say anything, as the device started to sizzle and spark with a life of its own. We tried to put out the flame, but it was all encompassing and the entire thing melted into nothing.
We told the others and there was a look of relief on everybody’s face, including my own. We had played god and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do that again. It was decided that we would not rebuild the device and that the world was not ready for that kind of power in the palm of their hand. I didn’t like that we were destroying our life’s work, but it seemed that we had all come to a consensus. We’d never talked about it outside of our little group and that was the way that it was going to remain. They were worried about what the benefactor might think, but I had knowledge on that subject that I wasn’t going to say to anyone. I wasn’t sure that they would believe that I was approached by a time traveler from the future.
I left and I went in search of Colby, only to find that he had died trying to get an old woman out of a burning fire a few months earlier. Apparently, his family had told the press that one act of kindness had turned into many.
I found myself wandering, until I bumped into Gerald and his Greek cheekbones. I looked at him and he looked to me and suddenly we were kissing. This is what I really wanted. Was I sent back to save that woman and her child, or I was to give Colby a reason to go above and beyond? It was a hard pill to swallow. Colby had apparently found a god complex. He thought that he was invincible. For two years, he played the hero, until time caught up with him. I had to believe that he was put on that path by god. He had used me, as a conduit to make this man realize that he didn’t have to go through the motions
“I have something for you.” We had come full circle. He presented the chocolate éclair. I had a feeling that tonight would be the night that I found out if sex and chocolate combined is better than I expected. “I have more where that came from, but you’re going to have to follow me to get them.” I would follow him anywhere. I was blind not to see the infatuation. I was finally opening up my eyes. To keep them closed any longer would permit my ex husband to get the upper hand. I wasn’t even concerned about any of that. I would give him anything he wanted. I still had a soft spot in my heart for him, but he was my past and Gerald was my future.
