The Present, Kelly Ranch, Colorado—Olivia

The dining room at the Kelly Ranch sparkled under the glow of the chandelier and candelabras, and the china, crystal, and silverware glistened on a tablecloth of pristine white. But the conversation was somewhat subdued. Elliott sat at the head of the table with Connor and David on either side of him. Olivia sat at the opposite end with JL and Kenzie on either side of her, giving the impression of opposing generals and their advisors.

The McBains did most of the talking, reliving their adventures in Leadville. The couple struck Olivia as logical and intelligent. But so did some of the crazies who claimed they were abducted by space aliens. Unlike abductees, the McBains had supposedly unaltered pictures and a video of Amber. Who was Olivia supposed to believe? These intelligent people, or her rational mind, which screamed time travel was impossible.

There was, however, one disturbing thought she couldn’t dispel no matter how she twisted, stretched, or tried to cover it up. She’d seen Daniel Grant before. And in her mental picture of him, he wore nineteenth-century clothing, and horses and carriages appeared in the background. If that picture existed in her mind, it meant she would see him there one day. To get through dinner, she shelved the sobering thought.

Kenzie and Olivia washed the dishes while the guys disappeared to talk logistics. Whatever that meant. JL’s indigestion earned her an excuse from KP duty and within minutes she was asleep on the small sofa in front of the large kitchen window.

“She’s the cutest pregnant woman I’ve ever seen,” Olivia said. “She moves like a ballerina but talks like a cop.”

“I heard that,” JL groaned.

“I thought you were asleep,” Kenzie said.

“With all that pot rattling, are you kidding? But thanks for the compliment. I feel fat and ugly most of the time.”

“Trust me,” Olivia said. “There isn’t an ounce of fat on you. You’re fit and beautiful.”

JL rolled over and covered her head with a pillow. “Just remember, if Elliott ever offers his trainer to loosen you up, tell him no thanks.”

Kenzie chuckled. “She’s right, although none of us would be in the shape we’re in, if not for Ted and his team. We all complain but rarely miss a session.”

“That’s because nobody wants to miss their post-workout massage from Anne’s healing hands,” JL said.

Kenzie folded the towel she’d used to dry the crystal, rotating her neck side to side. “That’s true, too, and boy could I use a massage right now. The bed at Mrs. Garland’s boardinghouse didn’t have much support.”

“I bet it had squeaky springs, though,” JL said with a howl. “How much do you want to bet you’ll end up pregnant again? Time travel messes with your cycle. Just ask Kit and Charlotte.”

“The bed did have squeaky springs and Amber teased me about it.”

JL tossed the pillow aside and sat up. “Say it ain’t so. You said absolutely no more babies and now you’re trying to get pregnant. Are you crazy?”

“I didn’t say I was trying to get pregnant.
