Danica would have asked herself just what the hell had possessed her, but she already knew the answer to that question. Robert Rowe’s mouth had possessed her, and the shape of his lips, and the sweet taste of his kiss.

Be careful what you wish for, the old saying went. She’d wished she could be with him, and now it seemed as if she might get that wish. A wish that included a world without her family — or at least a family she could acknowledge. Without her friends.

And without Internet, tampons, or toilet paper. They used newsprint here. She’d sort of gotten used to it, but some days she felt as if she’d cheerfully axe-murder someone for a couple of family-size packs of Northern toilet tissue. The tampons weren’t as much of a concern, since she’d had her period right before she time-jumped back to 1884. Anyway, she’d gotten a birth control implant last spring, only a few weeks before the ill-fated trip to Tucson, so her period wasn’t much of a bother. If she stayed here, the implant would have to remain in her arm, she supposed, although the hormones it was supposed to be dispensing would eventually run out.

But, setting aside all the triviality of those lost conveniences, could she do this? Give up everything to be with Robert Rowe?

Once again, she saw that bullet hitting his chest. If she changed his past, then the future would be unknown. And if she disappeared into nineteenth-century America, would that mean she’d never be born? What would change? Would Matías Escobar have found other victims to fuel his dark spells?

She shivered. Maybe it wouldn’t be Robert Rowe’s past they’d end up sharing, but her future. Could she tell him the truth, convince him to come back to future Flagstaff with her rather than remain here?

Right then, she just couldn’t say for certain. True, by their very nature, witches were more open to the strange and unusual than the rest of the population, but no one in her present seemed to know of anyone else who possessed her time-bending abilities. So maybe that meant there hadn’t been any time-traveling witches back here in the past, and so Robert would have no other precedents to rely on. He’d only have her word that she had come from a time other than now.

Danica sat on the narrow bed in her room at the boarding house, papers scattered around her. After she and Robert had parted, and he’d hurried out the school’s back door, she’d gathered up her work and brought it back to the boarding house. Since Mrs. Wilson thought she’d stayed late at the school to grade papers, Danica couldn’t spread them out over the dining room table the way she usually did. No, she was trying to work through them as best she could using the lap desk she’d bought a few days earlier at Brannen’s general store. “Trying” being the operative word. She couldn’t seem to focus.

Of course she couldn’t. Robert Rowe had kissed her.
