Read Online I'll Be Seeing You Through Time (The Dimension Keepers) by Jennifer Conner - Free Book Online Page A

that there’s no such thing as jumping in time, but I’m here with no idea how to explain it. I felt myself die in 1942 when I went down with my destroyer. Hadley told me it was like there were two of me— the one in that time and the one here. That I died, but here, I’m alive. This was the time I’m supposed to live in.”
    “The dreams I had were so real, there was a part of me that knew that you were still alive. I couldn’t tell what was real anymore. I decided that I couldn’t live without you. I missed you that much, and you were alive all along? Why didn’t you come back for me months ago?” Heat flooded her face, she wasn’t sure if it was anger or hurt.
    “How can you even ask that? You don’t think I would have if I could? I’ve been in just as much pain as you, and desperately missing you every moment of my day. I tried. I couldn’t. Once I came out the other side of the bookstore, I was somehow blocked from returning and we had no idea where the bookstore was. But I helped Hadley locate it on maps and data he had; otherwise it would have been impossible. As soon as we found the bookstore, I knew I had to come back for you. Hadley was the only one able to travel back through, but we weren’t even sure of that. It was dangerous for him and his wife is having a baby.”
    “Why him and not you?”
    “Do you really think I would choose not to come back for you? I love you! Believe me, I am trying to understand all of this too.” Glenn’s brows were pulled low. His look told her that he was fighting to get her to understand. How could she be mad? Glenn was here and alive. She smiled and his features softened.  He went on, “Hadley refers to himself as ‘a guide.’ The guides are certain people who can move in and out of the portal. I felt you were close to the breaking point, and that’s why I was so desperate to get to you. He came as soon as we found the bookstore, and Hadley traveled back to find you.”
    “I was at the park where you proposed to me.” Jewel ran her fingers over the warm knuckles of his hand. He felt real.
    “You talked about wanting to join me. I knew you were contemplating suicide… I…” his voice cracked. “You were… are my world. This craziness of being here is hard enough, but the thought of you dying because of me... I couldn’t stand it.”
    “How could you possibly know what I was thinking?”
    “I had a dream we were both in it. I think you were pulling me in to experience your dreams. I figured it out by the second dream. We were on a beach. A car from this time. That’s why you thought it looked strange.”
    Her head swam. “I… I remember that.” How could it be? She thought she’d throw in a little test to see if he was telling the truth. “If this was a shared dream, why were we running and playing with a baseball?”
    A sideways grin quirked the corner of his lips and he said, “Baseball? I don’t remember any baseball. What I do remember is I was about to make love to the most knock-out redhead in the world. But the dreams always stopped just at the best time.”
    “What color was the car I saw?”
    “Red. I saw the sports car in the show window earlier in the day. It had silver side mirrors and dark tinted windows with a white stripe up the side.”
    She drew in a sharp intake of breath. “That was the car I saw in the dream.”
    “I know.” Glenn scooted close. “Honey, I know how crazy this all seems. But, I think that someone, whoever that is, is trying to give us a second chance. I lost you once almost seventy years ago, but if you’ll stay with me, I’ll never let you go again.”
    He leaned in and kissed her. Nothing threatening, a brief touch of his lips to hers. She knew this kiss. No one had ever made her feel special like Glenn did. She choked back a sob, grabbed him, and pulled him to her.
    “It’s not a dream?” she asked as tears streamed down her cheeks.
    “This time… it’s real, or as real as I can make of
