Chapter Nine

“Ready to see some of the sights?” Chase called from outside the room. Sarah adjusted her shirt, and held a sated Emily over her shoulder, patting her back. Not a second later, the door opened.

Sarah met Chase’s bright smile with one of her own. The weight of the world had been lifted from her since coming to the future the day before. Emily seemed better already with the medicines Jana had given her. Her daughter had never slept through the night before, and this morning, her breathing seemed more normal, too. There was nothing that could disrupt Sarah’s good mood today, and she was eager to see a glimpse of the world her husband knew.

“Emmy will be in good hands while we’re out. Seems like she has two doting grandmas now.” Chase reached for the baby, and Sarah handed her over to him.

“Yes, it would seem so,” she said, then her forehead wrinkled. She met Chase’s gaze, and placed her hand on his arm. “What about your mother, Chase? Is it possible for you to see her while you are here?”

Chase’s smile faltered. His face sobered, and sadness clouded his eyes. Sarah tightened her grip on his arm. She hadn’t meant to cause him anguish.

“I don’t think so, Sarah,” he said slowly. “It’s best she thinks I’m dead. If I contact her now, how am I gonna explain to her that I’ll vanish again, this time for good?”

“I understand,” Sarah whispered. She stepped closer to him. “But it would be good for her to know what an honorable man she has for a son, and that she has a granddaughter.”

Chase stared at her. He held Emily over his shoulder, patting her back. His smile seemed forced. With a shrug, he said, “I suppose I could write a letter, explain everything to her. Dan can mail it to her after we’re gone again. I’ll take a picture of you and Emmy to send along with it.”

“I’m sure she would like that,” Sarah said softly. She didn’t press him to explain what ‘taking a picture’ meant.

He leaned forward, and kissed her cheek. “Thanks, Angel, for the suggestion.”

After leaving Emily in her mother’s care, Sarah followed Chase out of the house. She slipped her hand in his, and they followed a smooth stone path along a row of brick homes. Everywhere she looked, there were people and the fast-moving vehicles Chase called cars.

“How’d you like to go see the canyon?” Chase asked, leading her along, maneuvering past people as if the crowd didn’t bother him at all. Never before had she seen so many people come and go, and everyone seemed to be in a hurry, moving from building to building. No one seemed to take notice of anyone else, or make eye-contact. Grown-ups led children along the paths heading to the white mountain that contrasted against the surrounding green hills at the end of this great town. The hot water features and colorful rocks in this area, which her mother had called Mammoth Hot Springs, seemed to be quite an attraction.
