Not Alone (Helen/Christine)
“Come with me.”
It’s the third time she utters the words no one should be able to resist. Nick should have listened to the scientist’s sensible voice and not be stopped by his feelings for her. Stephen shouldn’t have resisted the tempting call of the wilderness, not even for Nick. Their rejection has hardened her to the one she expects now, but there’s a cold, calculating yes in sharp eyes, making her realize just how sexy ulterior motives can be. Stepping through the anomaly into the distant past, feels like coming home, as always.
And this time she’s not alone.
