Tilly jumped at the chance to drive into the village with Evie when she left to pick up her children. She needed to buy a few things to look normal in this time, and the dress she’d been wearing when they arrived was so grimy at that point it almost stood up on its own when she took it off, squeezing into something of tiny Piper’s for the shopping trip. She felt oddly naked wearing a tight knee length skirt and a sky blue sweater over a plain white shirt. She missed the lace and buttons and frills of her nineteenth century wardrobe.

While she was in the village, she’d gone with Evie to visit her husband Sam at his bookstore, buying a stack of books to show support for the quaint, adorable shop, then got herself and Ashford some clothes, all with the money Liam had guiltily given her. Before she called the village cab to take her back to the castle, she stopped into the museum that housed many of Piper’s ancestor’s old items, feeling calm and at home amongst the antiques, yearning to be back in Ashford’s time.

She had to fit in while she was here though, and they were set to leave for London the next morning. She’d have to see her grandmother and explain, and the thought of going back to Ashford’s time for good without seeing her mother again made her chest hurt. If only they could go to California for a visit, but the few days Ashford had given up so she could be in her time again already weighed heavily on her conscience.

She thought her mom would like Ashford once she got to know him, and she’d love for him to be able to see America. But as much as it pained her, every moment they tarried was time that Kostya was left to suffer. She hoped she could get through with the portal one day and visit her family again, but knew in her heart she’d have to reconcile herself to most likely never seeing them again. It wasn’t something she could share with Ashford, knowing he would only add it to his list of reasons why she should stay in her own time. As sure as she felt about being with him, she knew she would miss her family terribly and probably always feel guilty for leaving them.

She wandered downstairs, wondering where everyone had got to while she was shopping. Lachlan showed up, taking a break from working on the estate, filling up the kitchen with his just short of scary presence. He fixed himself a sandwich and plopped down across from her. He must have noticed her long look and surprised her by asking outright if she thought she’d regret leaving with Ashford.

“I had to make the same choice,” he confided. “Though it pained me to leave my younger brother and sister behind, and I still get bouts of guilt about it, I couldna have stayed without Piper, and her time is here.
