"Start with what happened the day you encountered the wyvern clutch, spare no detail."The way he nodded and smiled during the telling of our fight, he...had heard the story from Alfred already. He stopped me when the recounting touched upon the wyvern hovering and spitting at us. The doctor asked about how the venom tasted, what I felt at that moment and after, was there pain or headaches? I could answer honestly, so I did. He wasn't particularly interested in our crash landing, rather he shifted. We each fixed our own sandwiches and sat peacefully through lunch, though their eyes rarely left dear old Daddy as their mouths made moves and shapes like it was something else they were thinking of devouring.

Their tension levels increased the closer the time came to figure out just how three girls could share their Daddy, or so it seemed. " If that's the issue, don't worry about it. Those memories will catch upwith you soon enough. It will take a day or two, but you'll eventuallyremember the events of the new timeline. Time travel is a shock to thesystem. Is that really the reason you bummed?" I dunno. I guess I was just disappointed when I woke up." OK, since you're not going to admit it to me... Close your eyes. Whatis it you want the most? Picture yourself in the perfect timeline."I closed my eyes. What is it that I. He won?t do it again, that?s for sure.? His anger and vindictiveness horrified me. Turning to me he explained, ?Leonard Hobson ran up a gambling debt with me for ?20,242. Normally we would have stopped him before he got that far behind but he was cunning and did it through several of my offices at near closing time so the staff didn?t spot it. As a gesture of good will, I agreed to settle for ?20,000 when he said his girlfriend was rich and would stand as collateral to pay off his debt. He gave.
