Now was the moment; if Jake couldn't convince the guide to let him take off on his own, his plan to return home wasn't worth meshdki. The man stared at him dubiously, shaking his head. "I could lose my license, my job; there's just no way, man. Not gonna do it."

Jake reached into his pocket, producing the thick banded roll of bills that he'd saved for this moment. The guide's eyes widened slightly at the sight of so much cash.

"So is there really no way, Randy?" Jake held out the roll. "None at all? Or did you just mean only maybe there was no way?"

Randy stared at the load of green in his hand. "If you're a park ranger…" He shook his head, still staring at the seductive wad of money.

Jake held up a hand. "I'm not a ranger; I promise you. I'm just a guy who needs to…" Jake thought for a moment, reaching for a motive; he had to be convincing. "I've always wanted to see Mirror Lake frozen over. It's such a mystical part of the park in the summer, so I really want to check it out, man."

Randy fanned the money against his palm like a card deck. "There's got to be at least a thousand bucks here. Mirror Lake ain't worth that much, not to nobody."

"It is to me." Jake trained his gaze on the young guy, hard and unwavering. "Everybody's got their fetishes."

Randy slipped the roll into his jacket pocket with a smirk. "Well, mister, for a thousand bucks I won't ask any more questions, but know one thing." Randy squinted up into his face, sun-weathered skin crinkling around his eyes. "If you're not back by three hours from now, I'm reporting the whole thing to the rangers. And it won't be that I got bribed; it'll be that you put a gun to my head."

Three hours from now and Jake would already be back in his own time. And Hope would be… back here in this time with Dillon. He shuddered at the thought, but shook it off.

"That works for me." He slapped Randy on the back, knowing that once he took off, he'd never see the guide again. Or Hope. This whole sojourn back into his memories would be just that—memories.

He was about to ask Randy to take care of Hope, to get her back into town, when her sexy, sultry voice interrupted their exchange. "You're not leaving without me, are you?"

Jake spun toward her, watching her boldly walk toward them as if she could see perfectly well.

"I'm on the back of that thing." She pointed toward their snowmobile, brushing right past Randy, taking confident steps that would never betray her visual limits. "Otherwise, Tierny, you're not going anywhere, plain and simple."

"Plain and simple," he muttered, watching her, amazed. She'd never backed down from any challenge, so why should this current one be any different? Would he take her back with him? Maybe. Could he leave her outside the mitres, alone and in the cold, if he got what he wanted—a journey back to his own time? Never.
