Part 1By the Same Moonlight

The night of my engagement party, there was a knock on my apartment door.

A little boy stood in the hallway.

“Mom, I’ve traveled back from eight years in the future. I’m your son…”

My first instinct was to call the police.

But then, the boy’s tears splashed onto the marble floor. He clutched the hem of the gown I hadn’t even had a chance to change out of. “Mom, you absolutely cannot marry Dad.”

“If you go near him, your life is over. In two weeks, you’ll be in a stunt-wire accident on set and be paralyzed for life.”

“He’ll marry you, sure, but he’ll ice you out, driving you into a severe depression until you finally jump from the roof of your company building.”

“The person he truly loves is his agent, Sophia Collins.”

My fingers, holding my phone, went rigid.

“He left the engagement party early tonight because Sophia’s cat had a sudden heart attack.”

“If you don’t believe me, he’s at her apartment right now. Come with me, and you’ll see that I’m telling the truth!”
