Rex raised an eyebrow at that “is this friend a new girl you met? Someone you’re interested in?”

“No” shaking his head “he’s just a friend.”

“He” his eyebrows rose higher “since when have you been interested in guys?”

“I’m not” his face turned beet red even though he knew his twin was only teasing him.

“Rex stop” Sandi implored him “it’s not funny.”

“I’m okay thanks” he turned around “I should probably go back.”

Nodding the man watched him “I’m on my way to the Hollis Resort. I’m attending a business convention.” He paused “I could skip the meeting if you’d like to join me. I could use a relaxing day on the beach.”

“Um I” Grant stumbled over his words but nodding at the offer. “I’d like that. I could use some fresh air.”

“Hop in” he motioned towards the car. “I’m Kade by the way.”

"You have more to lose if you don't do this" she insisted her eyes following him. "Your entire family will vanish from the time line. You do want to save the future don't you?"

"Yes" he assured her.

"Good" she got up and walked towards the window. "What I'm asking you to do isn't meant to be easy."

He snorted "if this is supposed to be a pep talk you kind of suck at it." Turning to face her he demanded "tell me what I need to do so I can go back to sleep."

Smiling she leaned against the window. "Alright I have a house set up for you and the others located on the outskirts of Longborne. You'll be expected to host a ball. That's where you'll meet Mary Bennett."

The plans and instructions went on for a few hours. Gabriel took copious notes determined not to forget any detail no matter how small. He flipped through his notes. His brow furrowed "we should find Efron first don't you think?"
