Knowing that her thick lashes would cover her eyes, she nodded demurely giving him the impression that she was agreeing to his proposal and waited until he dropped her to her apartment to get things going.

She did not care it was a close call, as long as she would be there before Dev.

She informed me. I nodded slowly. "When can I see the place?' "Anytime you wish. Though, you need to be quick. It's a hot cake. If you blink twice, someone else will collect it from you." "No, that won't happen." I said firmly. I rested Success weight on my left hand, while I turned my right wrist around to note the time. It was three pm on the dot. Maybe, we could get going now.

“2:47 PM isn’t about time. It’s about being there. So 8 minutes is 8 minutes. Deal?” _Silence. Hallway. 2:48 PM._ Chloe smiled. Tired smile. “Deal,” Chloe said. 60 seconds. No countdown. No big thing. Just 8 people. On this side. 7 people. Plus Chloe. On that side. Eyes closed. For 11 seconds. For March 14th, 2022. For December 31st, 2023. For January 7th, 2024. _Thump-thump. Thump-thump._

“I guess we can wait…as long as it’s not too long.” Thinking about the arrival of the Miracles made Leesa realize something that had slipped her mind until now. Leah and her friends might be from the same world as her and Rave, but they were from decades in the future. Somehow, she and Rave had not only been pulled into another world, but they had been transported through time as well. Unless perhaps time and space were different in this place.

Kate's coercion not to disappoint the elders, they agreed when she said the twenty-fifth of April was their wedding date. "That's exactly one month from now, isn't it?" asked Lea. There was both excitement and fear in her voice. Excited because the time was getting closer for her to be side by side with Shane. But she was also afraid because she still had a lot of preparation to do.

Ana and Levi stood nervously, looking at the hourglass kept on the table. Past few hours had passed in understanding the operation of the hourglass. "I hope this works." Levi muttered. "We don't have any other option." Ana stated. Levi sighed and nodded to her. He took the hourglass and closed his eyes. "Are they going back in the year 1475?" Adi asked. "I hope their plan works."
