Time and space are abstract concepts, understood by few but marveled about by many. 
Charlotte Richards didn't deal with abstract and conceptual things. She much preferred the concrete and absolute. 
As a successful lawyer in New York City, she thought she had most of her life figured out. That is, until her brother and her best friend somehow managed to build a machine that pulled an very important man from 18th-century Scotland to modern day USA. 

When this man intrigues her interests and challenges her ideals, she expects him to be no more than just another puzzle to solve.

But will he become so much more to her in time?

The Mirrored Doorway by MichaelRobinson885

Matthew's doorway to change came to him in the form a woman who held up a mirror to him and showed him who he really was.She was a very fit, blonde, blue eyed, intelligent woman who was originally Russian. Victoria had seen more of life than Matthew had ever imagined. Victoria had imagined the un-imaginable and achieved it. She is still doing all those things that us mere observers have yet to have the courage to understand or commit to. He engaged. He pandered, he devoted himself, and in the end, Victoria devastated him. He was emotionally crushed. Matthew was heartbroken and the tears would not stop. He had a desire, but not the will to commit suicide. In the car he would wail. In the shower he would buckle and cry. In the aftermath, Matthew would steel his nerves with anti anxiety medication and long, long walks around the New South Wales city of Newcastle. From the house his parents owned to the city, to the beach and anywhere in between. He needed to be occupied, he needed to be tired. The construction workers would be listening to a sad some song on the radio (Dean Lewis - Be Alright, that's a good one to cry to), and he would want to stop and physically break down on the grass verge and go no further. Matthew needed to reconcile with best person he had ever meet. So, what was reflected in Matthews mirrored doorway? What door way was opened for him to look beyond his world view, and importantly how did it take so many years for him to see the person he was? Is this a love story? Yes. For Matthew absolutely. For Victoria, no. She did not love or care for him, and we can only guess that Matthew was company for a short period of time, and that amounted to 9 months of wonder, snoring, emotional roller coasting, photography, Salsa dancing, camping, trekking, long drives and fitness. Awesome!

Completed ✅ When I was four years old, I saw a woman die. I didn't understand what was happening at the time. I didn't know why she was lying on the floor. I didn't realise I was stepping in her blood. I just thought my mother had gone to sleep, and, in a way, she had. When I was eight years old, I saw a man turn to drink. My father was struggling to deal raising me without my mother, and alcohol was his coping mechanism. When I was twelve years old, I saw a man lose himself. The alcohol had not helped my father, and when the drugs came along, things got even worse. The man I used to love had changed, disappeared, and in his place was a drug-ridden wreck of a man, who barely knew my name anymore. When I was sixteen years old, I saw a man die. I understood exactly what was happening. I knew why he was lying on the floor. I realised I was stepping in his blood. I thought my father had gone to sleep, and, in a way, he had. And it was my fault. Back then, there were three of us. But I'm twenty years old, and it's just me now. My name is Hazel Richards, and I'm the only one left.
