foresight to look into a couple of vacations for the both of us. I wanted both of us to have that time to recharge and rekindle the romance that we lost. I thought it was just misplaced and not replaced with animosity. We had this one big blowout fight that ended with the both of us thinking that it was time to move on.”
I was kicking myself every day for the fact that I had let the best thing in my life slip through my fingers. I’d done so, because I thought that we were doing each other more harm than good. The only way that we could rectify the situation was to breakaway and look for something else that would complete us. “I know that this can’t be easy for you and we’ve all had particular things that we wanted to accomplish with this experiment. I know that it’s not easy, but we need to talk about it. Messing with the timeline will change things. Whether it’s for the better or the worst is something that will show itself after you get back from your ill fated journey.
“Hope, I understand all of that and I’m sorry that I wasn’t here for most of these briefings. I was dealing with something a little bit more important, or at least it was in my mind. I didn’t want to believe that things were getting to the point of backstabbing. When we ended this thing, we decided right then and there that we would walk away with what we had in our possession. It started off with a need to hold onto a piece of the relationship. From there, it escalated to lawyers and their way of fighting was to put us in front of the courtroom to air our dirty laundry.” My Sister Caroline had been front and center in the court most of the time.
“I think that everybody here can agree that we all have the right to speak our mind openly. There are no secrets between the five of us. I think that we’ve done something here that is miraculous and that no man has ever been able to accomplish in their lifetime. It remains to be seen what we’re going to do with the device, especially since we’re not able to use it again. That doesn’t mean that we can’t let others use it, but do we take the risk of trusting someone that has only bad intentions.” Caroline was only saying what was on everybody’s mind. We didn’t want to admit it, but the only people that we could truly trust were those in this room.
“My sister has a point. I don’t think that we can even take it on face value that our benefactor will not want to benefit in some way through this device. We still don’t know where the power source came from, but I have a feeling that it was a benefactor that had decided to stick his nose where it doesn’t belong. I know that he has a lot invested in this, but that doesn’t mean that he can play with our lives.” I was dressed and ready to go, wearing a very old piece of clothing that I had stuck in the closet years ago. It was a blue dress with white trim and a plunging neckline.
“I think it’s safe to say that everybody here can leave. Let my sister Kayla and I to decide on what’s best for us.” Hope, Samantha and even Kate decided to throw their hands up in the air in self defeat. There were no more words spoken and the briefing had come to its inevitable end. I’ve done my hair up in exactly the same way that it would be when I arrived back in the time, before my marriage began to fall apart. I had done the necessary steps, including meditation and yoga, which was really something that didn’t understand. I did feel more centered and my breathing was level.
They all left and I could tell that they were not very happy. It didn’t matter to me. Like everybody that had gone before me, we all had our own agendas and nothing was going to deviate us from that course of action. This was after all my life and if I wanted to find out what the true reason behind my marriage crumbling, then I had the right to do that. They all spoke a good game, but none of them really paid attention to what could possibly be a
