this crazy world.” He spoke against her ear in a rush of words. “Please, forgive me. I’m so sorry for the pain you went through. It wasn’t my fault. What can I say so you’ll believe me? I had no control over it. I love you so much… I never meant to hurt you.”
    Jewel rained kisses over his cheeks, then clasped his face between her hands and pressed her lips to his to silence the rest of his sentence. “I can’t believe it! You’re here… you’re really here.”
    He inhaled sharply as she curved her body against his. He slipped his tongue between her teeth. Her body melted against his. The dreams made her miserable, because Jewel knew she would never have the chance to be held again in Glenn’s arms. But here he was. Holding her. Caressing her. If she had a choice, she’d let him make love to her here in the park. If this moment was pulled away from them, she wanted memories that would last for eternity.
    Someone cleared their throat and reluctantly they broke apart.
    “It looks like all is well?” Hadley asked in his proper British accent.
    Glenn grinned. “I would say more than good.”
    Hadley’s brows furrowed. “As a guide, I have to abide by the rules and ask a few questions. Jewel, you’re in a different time. You are seventy years in the future. I have to know for sure that you understand this and that you wish to stay. If you do wish to stay, I doubt you will ever be able to return to your previous time.”
    She looked from Glenn back to Hadley. “Glenn can’t go back to 1942?”
    “I’m afraid not. In that time he’s dead.”
    “What about me?” she asked.
    “You were allowed to travel. But you can travel back if you choose. This is now your time and you can stay,” Hadley said.
    “Glenn will stay here with me, in this time for good? No more time-traveling?”
    Hadley shook his head. “No more traveling for any of us. We’re here now. Do you have family? You will never see them again.”
    “No. There’s no one.” She wrapped a hand around Glenn’s arm. “He’s my only family, there’s nothing for me back in the other time.”
    “When we get back to San Francisco…” Glenn began.
    “Wait.” Jewel raised a hand, palm out. “If we’re not in San Francisco, where are we?”
    “We’re in Portland, Oregon. But we can be back there in a few hours.”
    “It will take a bit longer than that,” Hadley commented. “We’re going to have to drive. Glenn, you were supplied with proper ID when you traveled but Jewel doesn’t have any. Everything happened so fast, I didn’t have time to create one. The airlines won’t let her on the plane. I’m having a rental car delivered. It just arrived.”
    She let Glenn take her hands and rose to her feet.
    “Where ever Glenn is, that’s where I want to be,” she said and smiled. She’d sort through the impossibility of it later.

    Hadley grabbed his bag out of the trunk. “I called Samantha. You can take the rental car. I’m sure that you have much catching up to do.”
    Glenn extended his hand. When Hadley shook it, he pulled him in for a hug. “I don’t know how I can ever thank you.”
    “You’re the one who figured out the maps to prove where the bookstore would be. We make a good team and I think we can help other travelers. We can work together.” Hadley smiled. “I’ll talk to you more about it… in say a week or so.” He winked and tugged the car keys from his pocket. Hadley tossed them to Glenn.
    They watched through the airport windows as a car eased up to the curb. A pretty and very pregnant brunette stepped out. She ran to Hadley and threw her arms around his neck and gave him a huge kiss. Even at this distance, Jewel could see that the woman cried.
    “That’s Sam,” Glenn said. “She’s a great gal, and a little emotional because of the baby. I’m sure you will get to know each other well. But right now, we have something much more important to do.”
    Jewel raised an eyebrow. “And what
