In Your Time

Chapter 3

"Okay," I agreed. The couple filled out some paperwork before we began walking slowly back to where

they parked their car. When we got in the car, the woman sat in the back with me and held my hand

gently in hers.

"Thank you... for helping me," I said into the silence. My body was throbbing in pain as I sat there.

Elizabeth smiled at me sympathetically.

"Of course, sweetie. So Phoenix, how did you end up in the park, if you don't mind me asking. Are you

okay?" She asked. I couldn't very well tell her I accidentally time traveled here from the year 2026.

"I don't remember," I lied easily. I would fake amnesia if I had to, but no one could know the truth. Even

if I didn’t know anything else, I knew that much at least.

"I'll check on her when we get to the house. She doesn’t seem to be in immediate danger," the man,

George, offered.

"Oh, my husband is a doctor," Elizabeth explained. I nodded thoughtfully. When we got to their house,

George's profession showed. The house was amazing. It was huge. Walking inside, the entire place

was spacious with an open floor plan for the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Elizabeth showed

me around, explaining each room until we got upstairs. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"This is our son, Braden's room. He's often kind of quiet so you won't have to worry too much about

him. And this will be your room," she said as she opened a room door. The room itself was spacious

and comfortable. It was warm and inviting. I wouldn’t mind staying here at all.

"Tomorrow, Ill take you shopping for some clothes. There's an extra toothbrush in the bathroom already

as well as soap, shampoo, and conditioner if you want to shower. I'll give you a pair of my clothes for

now. I don't think they'll fit well, but you can wear them as pajamas until I can get your own clothes

cleaned," she offered.

"Thank you. I don't mean to put you through so much trouble," I smiled lightly. This couple was really

going above and beyond to help me. They were the type of people we didn’t really have in the future.

Elizabeth smiled and waved me off.

"It's no trouble at all. I've always wanted a daughter, and while you're here, I can pretend it's true and

do all the girls' stuff with you," she smiled. She left before returning with a pajama set and towel for me.

I walked down the hallway to the bathroom and took a shower with a grateful sigh. It felt nice and

refreshing.

I changed into the pajamas I was given and brushed my teeth before I stepped out of the bathroom

while drying my hair with the towel. I almost immediately ran into someone.

"Oh sorry. Oh," I said in realization. His face was oddly familiar. His strong jawline, those piercing blue

eyes, and curly brown hair; I knew it. I'd seen it repeatedly before.

In my phone...

I dropped my towel as my hands covered my mouth in shock. It was Braden Park. The Braden Park!

But the Braden Park I knew was the one from the future.
