She wasn't sure how long she'd been outside when she made the decision to direct her steps back to the house. An hour, at least. All she knew was she was much calmer than she had been when she stepped outside to begin with. Yes, she made up her mind. Wherever she ended up in the future, it had to be by water. A slight chill in the air reminded her that it wouldn't be much longer before summer was over. How was it possible that the year had gone by so quickly? An unsettling began in her gut the more the thought about the year. It hadn't been a normal one and she doubted that that would change. Everything was apt to be extraordinary if the first half of the year was to be believed. She didn't want to consider the reasons why she would be so unnerved. Maybe the future she was trying so hard to plan wasn't even going to be an option.
