One day he was there. The next he wasn't.

The love of her life disappeared overnight without a trace six years ago. No one ever figured out what happened. She's spent her time trying to figure out if there's a life to live without him. 

She finally found a place to be happy. At least as happy as she can be. She has the perfect, caring boyfriend. An amazing job. Great friends. A reinvented world created for her to exist without him. Things have worked out okay for her, against all odds.

Then one day, everything changes. 

The world she learned to navigate without him, merges back into one with him. 

She's standing between gaining back the part of her she thought was lost forever and losing everything she's built up while he was gone. 

What will she do when it comes down to it? 
Can she have a happy ending, and with who?

"What path?" Annabella snapped at him. "You're just a mere teenager, aren't you?" The boy's mouth started twitching. "Of course not. Don't underestimate me." "Then tell me... Who are you?"

"But why?" "Because he's still seventeen. He'll become an adult next year so we can get married right away." Mrs Parker: "..."

12 parts Ongoing Mature

"I know you're lying" Michael said between sobs. I was about to object when he continued, "Don't! I know you're keeping something from me. I've been trying to figure it out, but I just can't get to a plausible conclusion. Nothing makes sense, Charlie." My heart was beating so fast. His words hit me like a truck. I'd hoped it would never come to this, but I knew the only acceptable thing to do was to tell him the truth. "Okay" I said "but you need to hear what I say without interrupting me and please, please, keep an open mind." *** All of time and space was at her fingertips. She had seen places nobody could ever dream of in a lifetime, and yet, there was one destination, one person she was desperate to see before she went back to her time. A dream of a lifetime was about to come true, but Charlie would soon find new meaning to the saying "be careful what you wish for".
