I respond, making sure to leave right after. I am only ever able to let out a relieved sigh, once I am out of the premises. I realize that I had spent quite a long time there because it is late afternoon and there is a change in the weather. The sun is no more and the clouds have gotten a little darker. I spent so much time with Ava that I almost forgot, that I had to leave.

mind trying to figure out how to get back to them. She lowered her head and started looking at the table rather than the man which caught their attention, and they all began to stare at her as she quickly was putting piece by piece into a more significant puzzle that she didn’t even know was there. It was starting to make sense now. Her whole life was beginning to make sense now; she had been working for this moment since she was nearly ten years old. The theory that she had come up with then was that she wanted to travel back in time, but she didn’t know how she didn’t understand that there was no magical machine that can take you back into the past. So the part of the theory that she had

But the human mind can't understand many things," he explained. ''I am not an ordinary human,'' I said with a smile, which he returned. "No, that you're not," he replied. And we came to a stop. He sat in a large armchair with a table in front of him. Lachesis stood in front of the table and waved her palm, face down above it. The big book suddenly appeared with a wave of her hand. The book opened. ''This page of the book wrote itself, but I can't translate it,'' she said. ''Let me see that," I said, and she turned the book to face me. I smiled.

Gazing down at the book kept over the mahogany table, her eyes shone with happiness and hope found its way back to them. The pages flipped over and over, and ultimately stopped at the blank page again. She sat down and touched the page. But her hand crossed it like it was air. The book was present there clearly, but why couldn’t she touch it! Now what again?! She was getting vexed by now. Already time was slipping from her hands like the grains of sand, and this book was testing her patience.

With a gentle hug, I put the book down and immediately left for work. At 5:30 I was behind the shop waiting for my employers. I began to think about what happened last night. I was contemplating how a small book could increase in size by itself. The book could talk and give instructions for humans to follow. What amazed me more was the fact that fire of blood could rest in a bowl and the book didn’t burn but when I put my hand I was burning that I could even felt the fire even in my intestines.

"You will be happier in the future." I nodded. While the fireworks were still booming in the distance, the sea breeze carried the scent of spring. Suddenly, I remembered a scene from many years ago. I once stood next to another person with eager hopes for the future as well. As it turned out, the future did not reside within that person. The future was here. Right here, within the eyes of the person next to me, with her hands holding mine. The future was in the cup of coffee she made for me every morning. It was in her habit of refusing to let me lift heavy objects. It was in the way she looked at me.

When I heard Madison's words, I suddenly remembered that she had said the same thing the last time I had surgery. She always talked about marriage, but the timeline kept getting pushed back. First, it was when the company got on track, then when it grew bigger, then when we had saved up enough money for a house, then after my surgery. She didn't want to lose me, yet she couldn't bring herself to commit to marrying me. This time, I gave a different answer. "I'm not going to marry you." I lay in the hospital bed and watched her sit quietly beside me. Memories from the past came rushing back one after another, but what we were now felt completely different from how we had once loved each other.

You belong in the pigsty in Millford. [I told you before, this family is mine. Everything here belongs to me, including Callum. Whenever I want them, they’ll choose me over you. [If I were a pathetic loser like you, I’d just die. What’s the point of living like this?] I felt nothing but numbness reading her words. Ever since I was little, I had always lost whenever I went up against Catherina. After I returned home, Catherina had sent me these taunting messages many times.

It was simply a life that no longer included me. The thought of all the years I had risen before dawn, worked myself to exhaustion, never truly rested—it suddenly left me with a strange clarity. "That's right," I muttered. "Why am I still sitting here? I've got money now. I should be out enjoying myself." I decisively booked a flight leaving in two hours. In less than half an hour, I had packed, arranged everything, and driven off without hesitation. Before leaving, I changed the passcode to the villa.

I found it, I said and pulled out a book. I hold a book, The Time Traveler’s Wife. The cover of the book shows a girl wearing black knee length dress and black school shoes with long white socks. And beside the girl is what looks like a red picnic cloth, with neatly folded man’s clothes and shoes on top of it. I paused for a while and stared at the cover of the book. Henry uncontrollably travels back and forth through time. He cannot choose the time and place he would like to travel to. Will I even know if I travel to the past or the future?
