After leaving Stillwater, Summer Thorne hailed a cab back to Kingscrest.
If there were still flights to Rivenhall at this hour, she might have just left directly.
She'd been bogged down by her emotions for the past few days, and even being far away in Rivenhall hadn't helped.
It was even worse now that she was back in Valois.
However, when she returned to Kingscrest and opened the door to her apartment, she was surprised to see a pair of men's leather shoes in the entryway.
For a moment, Summer Thorne's mind went blank.
'I waited at Stillwater all this time... Did he not go back there because he came here instead?'
But she quickly dismissed the thought.
Because she saw a very familiar bag.
'The bag I brought back from Rivenhall!'
Summer Thorne looked down at her own empty hands.
She had just left the bag at Stillwater, and now, both the man and the bag were here in her home.
'What kind of time-space paradox is this?'
