Pulling my hand off Charlotte’s shoulder, I made a motion of surrender without stepping back. “I am friend, not foe,” I recited quickly. “And you are Charlotte Mercer, sister to Gabriel, daughter to Louis and Ileana Mercer, and my associate in the year of our Lord two thousand and eighteen.”

Save one eyebrow raising, her expression didn’t change, the tip of the knife remaining steadfastly near my navel. “Your point being?”

Swallowing, I took a breath, bringing to mind the saying I’d been instructed to give. “The strawberries are in the field,” I muttered. “And the sun is going down.”

The young Miss Mercer’s face went completely blank, the knife withdrawing as she took a step back in surprise. For a split second, her eyes darted toward the fire, confusion in her eyes as she watched the mass of panicked people.

“I know this is much for you to take in,” I started, eager to share my message and get on my way. The idea that I was creating a loop worthy of headache-inducing considerations made my mind spin dizzyingly. The sooner I could leave this time, the better.

“I’m only here to observe,” she butted in. “I’ve no intentions of changing anything. My family is against that.”

Frowning, I motioned for us to step into the darkness of the streets a bit, worried we would be overheard by passersby. “That may be the case now, but it won’t be in the future.”

Holding my hand up for silence as she opened her mouth to protest, I went on, realizing my time was limited.

The loop to the thirteenth century opened tomorrow night, some distance from the city. If I was going to make it in time, I would have to leave as soon as I was done here.

“My name is August Bancroft,” I went on, watching her calculating eyes as she took in everything I said. “I am a British soldier from the American Revolution era. The woman I love, Olivia Blake, will accidentally travel to that time in two thousand and seventeen, through the loop near Trenton. Your brother will go through the loop at that same time, his mission to change the past by keeping General Hugh Mercer alive. He will succeed.”

A frown creased her face, displeasure causing her nose to twitch.

“The general will eventually die, a year later than Time demands. He will blame the death on Olivia and me. She will be injured—stabbed by Gabriel—and that will lead to the both of us coming to her time, through the same loop. That is when I will meet you for the first time.”

Surprisingly, Miss Mercer took all this information in stride, absorbing and accepting it without question. I knew the phrase I’d uttered was a portion of the reason. She’d informed me that it was her safety code, known only to her and now me. When she first began traveling, she knew there would be a possibility of crossing paths with others like her and therefore decided to keep herself safe by coming up with a few words she would recognize as unfettered safety.
