"Time isn't linear," I told her. I was driving at that moment but I quickly turned my head to look at her and I nodded, and smiled.
She was new to all of this and I fear that I scare her away from what I believe in. I don't want her to feel I am rushing but I am too full of excitement to keep it to myself.
"Okay." She says. She has a weird look on her face and only glances at me for a second.
"Look at the road baby," she says quickly as I open my mouth again. I turn my head and nod, but I glance over at her again and smile.
"It's like one life we're right here, and the next we can go back in time and the next we can go forward. I don't know if that makes sense." I shrug at the end, while still looking at her. I can't keep my eyes on the road, it's like she's magnetic. My eyes can't stay off of her. I don't even try resisting at times.
"What'd I say?" she says quickly and I turn my head back to the road. I have to jerk the wheel over a bit. I was getting to close to the white line. It's really hard to concentrate on driving when she's in the car.
"It just sounds like Back To The Future," she replies and I nod again. I feel like a bobblehead. It'll be easier for her to understand other things coming forward. For the most part, she's been very open-minded to what's been going on, but at times she's burdened by what society tells the world to fear.
"Yes, it does baby." Nodding, I look at her and smile. My eyes, this time, return to the road and I don't have to correct the wheel.
