Mariée depuis trois ans, je suis très à l'aise avec le statu quo. Mon mari était doux et attentionné, émotionnellement stable. Et nous n’avons jamais eu de disputes. Malheureusement, j’ai vu mon mari, qui était toujours introverti et doux, bloquer sa bien-aimée dans un coin en demandant avec colère : « Au début, c'était ton propre choix d'épouser une autre personne, tu n’as donc pas le droit de me demander maintenant ! » Je me suis rendu compte qu'à l'origine, quand il aimait vraiment une femme, il serait tellement passionné. Ensuite, j’ai choisi de divorcer, de partir et de m'évaporer. Beaucoup de gens disaient que Cédric Baudet était fou, car ce dernier me cherchait désespérément dans la Ville J. Il était si calme et si sûr de lui, comment pouvait-il être fou ? Il serait moins possible qu’il devienne fou pour moi, son ex-femme sans valeur. Plus tard, quand il m'a vue à côté d'un autre homme, il m'a serré le poignet, les yeux écarlates, en me suppliant humblement : « Chloé, j'ai eu tort, tu reviens à côté de moi, d'accord ? » C’était alors que j'ai compris qu'il n'y avait pas de rumeurs aveugles dans le monde extérieur. Il était vraiment fou.

Après la mort de son premier amour, Ivan Mésange m'a haïe pendant dix ans.

Avant de fermer les yeux, il me fixe intensément, « j'aurais voulu... ne jamais te rencontrer. » Lors des funérailles, sa mère est accablée de chagrin. « J'aurais dû laisser Ivan et Jenni s'unir, je n'aurais pas dû le forcer à te marier ! » Mon beau-père me blâme, « Ivan t'a sauvée trois fois. Il était si bon. Pourquoi tu n'es pas morte à sa place ? ! » Tout le monde regrette mon mariage avec Ivan, même moi. Désemparée, je me fais virer des funérailles. Trois ans plus tard, à la commercialisation d'une machine qui remonte le temps, je choisis de retourner dans le passé. Cette fois, je couperai mes liens avec Ivan, cela pour le bien de tous.
